Answer: Loch Ness

Loch Ness is a Scottish lake that is deep and very dirty from soil. About forty rivers run into this body of water, which is in the Great Glen. The monster is named Loch Ness, with the same name as the lake, although it's sometimes referred to as Nessie.

It also has a name of Nessiteras Rhombopteryx, the scientific nickname by Sir Peter Scott, although this was pointed out to be an anagram of "monster hoax by Sir Peter S". There have been many reported sightings of Nessie, starting in the sixth century A.D.

Some have taken pictures of it, although many have been revealed to have just been hoaxes. Nessie is said to look like a plesiosaur or sea serpent.

"I look inside myself and see my heart is black, I see my red door and it has been painted black. Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts, it's not easy facing up when your whole world is black."

Answer: Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud was born on May 6, 1856, and was the oldest of his parents' eight children. He thought himself to be his mother's favorite, as she always called him her "golden Siggie". His family was poor, although they spared the money to educate him well.

He grew up and became a doctor in order to earn enough money to marry Martha Bernays and make a family. He founded both the methods of psychoanalysis, a method of therapy involving the conscious and subconscious elements of one's mind, and talk therapy, also called psychotherapy, involving social and therapeutic interaction and treatment.

He is known for saying, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar," although there is actually no real proof that he actually said that. After over thirty oral surgeries in an attempt to remove the tumor, he asked his doctor to overdose him with morphine to kill himself.

His youngest of six children, Anna Freud, who was closer to her father than her mother, became a psychologist in his honor and continued his work.

Answer: Apiphobia

Cynophobia is the fear of dogs, arachnophobia is the fear of spiders, and ophidiophobia is the fear of snakes. Apiphobia is the fear of bees, which also happens to be a creature I greatly fear-- luckily I've never been stung by one! Another term for the phobia of bees is melissophobia.

There are tons and tons of other phobias, including some crazy ones like a phobia of long words, hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia (how ironic); the fear of going to school, didaskaleinophobia; and even the fear of getting peanut butter stuck to the roof of your mouth, which is arachibutyrophobia.

There are many animals involved in phobias, such as the phobia of birds, ornithophobia; the phobia of cats, ailurophobia; and the phobia of bulls, taurophobia. The fear of all animals is zoophobia, and the fear of wild animals is agrizoophobia.

The first column involves helpful effects, the strengths and opportunities, and the second column involves harmful effects, the weaknesses and threats.

The S is in the top-left, the W is in the top-right, the O is in the bottom-left, and the T is in the bottom-right of the matrix.

Answer: Limerick

A limerick is a five-line poem where the first, second, and fifth lines of the poem all rhyme. They are longer than the third and fourth lines, which also rhyme with a different rhyme than the other three lines, essentially making the rhyme pattern A-A-B-B-A. Little is known about the origin about these types of poems, although Edward Lear is best-known limerick writer.

A haiku is a Japanese poem with three lines, the first line having five syllables, the second having seven syllables, and the third having five again. An epic is a very long narrative poem describing a story about a person's adventures or heroic deeds, originating from oral tradition.

A famous epic is the "Epic of Gilgamesh", a Mesopotamian epic, where Gilgamesh makes friends with a half-wild man and seeks immortality after his death. Gilgamesh was the king of the Sumerian city Uruk. Two other famous epics are the "Odyssey" and the "Iliad", which are both Greek epics written by a poet named Homer. And a sonnet is a fourteen-line poem. One type is the Italian sonnet, with the rhyming pattern for the first eight lines, called the octave, A-B-B-A-A-B-B-A.

The last six lines, called the sestet, can have a variety of different rhyming patterns, such C-D-E-C-D-E or C-D-C-C-D-C. Sonnets originated from Europe, specifically in Italy, and Giacomo da Lentini is credited by invented this type of poem. English sonnets are split up into quatrains, A-B-A-B, C-D-C-D, E-F-E-F, G-G. There are also other variations of writing in sonnets.

Answer: Coyoacán

Frida Kahlo originally learned medical studies, but began her art career after an accident on a bus on its way to Coyoacán, which caused many broken and fractured bones, including a broken spinal column, a broken collarbone, broken ribs, a broken pelvis, and other injuries.

Her abdomen and her uterus were also pierced by an iron handrail, which required all her pregnancies to be terminated. Many of her paintings were self-portraits of herself. Later, she married Diego Rivera, another Mexican painter.

She died in Coyoacán, in the same place she was born in, on July 13, 1954, when she was 47 years old. The believed cause of death was a pulmonary embolism, although nobody really knew because an autopsy was never performed. Her last words, written in her diary, were, "I hope the exit is joyful - and I hope never to return - Frida."
