Wikipedia Says So; It Must Be True Quiz

Answer: Caviar typically uses sturgeon roe- not swordfish roe

Caviar, made from the eggs of specific fish, is a relatively costly dish in most countries. Because of its status as a garnish delicacy for the elite, caviar is typically seen as an upper crust food. Although most caviar is black in colour, some may find it in red, especially in the salmon caviar used in Japan (used on sushi, usually).

Originally found in the sturgeon population in the southwestern edges of Russia, caviar has been most attributed to that region of the world though you can find different variations of it worldwide.

Answer: Leprechauns originate in Irish folklore

Leprechauns are most definitely stereotypes of the Irish culture and you're most likely to associate these fantastical beasts with St. Patrick's Day every March. Although the typical representation of the leprechaun is a green-clad, short human, the original Irish folklore stated that leprechauns wore red outfits instead.

This appearance has obviously changed as time has passed. While gnomes are usually smaller, friendlier, and found in the gardens of the world, the leprechaun is just as mystical. If caught, a leprechaun is said to grant wishes and it stores its hoarded gold at the end of the rainbow. Worst case scenario, if you meet the creature from the horror movie, "Leprechaun", kindly give back his gold and run.

Answer: The picture does not depict a harpsichord

Played very much like one would play the piano, a harpsichord is an instrument containing a keyboard which, when struck, plucks strings inside its case to create finely-tuned sound. The harpsichord was quite popular up until the late Baroque period, but with more refined players of the piano, the instrument fell by the wayside. According to historians, harpsichords have been around since the Middle Ages. Composers such as Mozart, Bach, and Haydn all wrote music to be specifically-played on this fascinating device. The image associated with this article happens to be a harp, and that's where the problem rests. Harps are not harpsichords.

While both have strings and both are instruments, the typical harp is played when fingers pluck the strings.

Answer: Superman can't teleport

Debuting in 'Action Comics #1', Superman soon became one of the world's most famous superheroes of all-time. Part of the DC Comics world (along with Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and others), Superman became one of the earliest superheroes to star in a movie series.

The original "Superman" film was released in 1948 and starred Kirk Alyn, but the more famous adaptation was directed by Richard Donner (known for the "Lethal Weapon" series, "The Goonies", and "The Omen") in 1978 and starred Christopher Reeve. Over the years, "Superman" has been brought to cinemas and TV in the past and present of his long run. Superman has invulnerability, super-strength, x-ray vision, heat vision, freeze breath, and many other hidden skills said to result from his history beginning on another planet.

He does not have teleportation powers; he can fly instead.

Answer: The picture doesn't depict a sheep

Sheep are quite the creatures. Although they're typically thought of as rather passive, herding creatures, they've been depicted rather infrequently in movies and literature. The horror film "Black Sheep" featured killer sheep while George Orwell's "Animal Farm" framed sheep as rather dumb, servile creatures.

Sheep have also been fairly important in the world of science; scientists cloned a sheep for the first time in 1996 (named Dolly, after Dolly Parton.) Not baaaa-d at all. How did that llama even get in there anyways? While sheep are part of the Ovis genus in the Caprinae subfamily, the llama is part of the Lama genus in the Camelidae family.

Other famous Caprinae are goats, oxen, and ibex.

Answer: There were not thirteen apostles at the Last Supper

Contrary to this particular article, there were only twelve apostles in the Christian faith: Peter, Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James, Thaddeus, Simon, and Judas, all of whom were said to have joined Jesus during the Last Supper before he was crucified. Paraskevidekatriaphobia actually happens to be the fear of Friday the 13th as a day. Because of this date's notorious unluckiness, a popular horror movie franchise about a masker killer from Camp Crystal Lake (Jason Voorhees) has persisted through decades of films.
To add to the significance, there are thirteen players on each side in rugby league and thirteen original U.S. colonies.
Thankfully, there's no questioning the picture for this one.

Answer: Two under par is not an 'albatross'

In golf, the point is to get the ball to the hole in the least amount of shots- obviously, a hole-in-one is the best possibility. While one under par is a 'birdie', two under par is an 'eagle', three is an 'albatross', and the rare four under par is a 'condor'. If you go one over par it's a 'bogey'. Typically an outdoor sport, golf is played with clubs of different materials, shapes, and sizes on a pre-made course with dimpled golf balls.

The dimples in the balls happen to make them more aerodynamic. Golf is played around the world, and the many environments in which it is played add to the interest behind the sport; fascinating courses are found around the globe, each with their own perks.

Answer: The picture does not depict Japan

The picture associated with this article actually happens to be taken from Tiananmen Square outside the Forbidden City in Beijing, China, thousands of miles from Japan. This is further proven to be a Chinese site by the inclusion of Mao Zedong's photo on the UNESCO structure. Japan is a much smaller country than China, but in its series of islands created by volcanic activity in the Ring of Fire, it contains over 120,000,000 people, a quarter of which live within the metropolitan area of Tokyo. Japan is a technological mecca, and many scientific innovations have originated within its cities.

Answer: Tulips are not typically associated with South Africa

While tulips can, no doubt, be planted and grown in a warm climate like one would find in South Africa, these particular flowers are more commonly attributed to Holland having been brought to this part of Europe from the Ottoman Empire (Turkey, specifically). Now, tulips can be found in many countries around the world. Tulips grow once in a year, usually in the springtime, and then they should be replanted.

While they are typically perennial flowers, they usually don't have a full blossom in subsequent years unless temperatures are steady year-round.

Although tulips are often found to grow with enclosed, bulb-formation petals, they often bloom quite beautifully and can be cultivated in a wide array of colours.

Answer: Sony never invented the iPod

Sony certainly did not invent the iPod; that honour would go to Apple, a company which, up to that point, would've been known for its computers. Due to smart marketing, strong service, and good products, Apple became one of the leading names in electronics in the 2000s and released the iPod, a portable music device which beat out Sony's earlier MP3 creations to be one of the most popular music devices in the world. Sony has made amazing products since its founding in 1946. Along with the products already listed, Sony created the PSP, the DVD, the Memory Stick (for digital cameras), the Blu-Ray Disc, and the Floppy Disc.

Not only is Sony a leading electronics brand, it has become one of the most powerful media companies ever made.
