Sor Bits (Denmark) = Chewing Gum

Feel like a moron reading the other parts of the quiz... [img]smile.gif[/img]

<span style="color: lightblue">They're almost perfect opposites - uncopyrightable means that it can be copied (and noone can stop you), dematopglyphics are unique, and so can't be copied.

<span style="color: lightblue">10?


<span style="color: lightblue">A touch typist will type it using only the left hand. It is the longest English word that this can be done with.

<span style="color: lightblue">"Ummmmmm" :D

<span style="color: lightblue">From the typical measurement of the distance between the tip of an adult's thumb and the first joint being 1 inch.


<span style="color: lightblue">A colourful one? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

<span style="color: lightblue">Dermatoglyphics

<span style="color: lightblue">Censorship

<span style="color: lightblue">Its claw

<span style="color: lightblue">Pins and needles

<span style="color: lightblue">Not that much, by a long shot. [img]smile.gif[/img]

<span style="color: lightblue">They are worms who's droppings are used to make silk (hence the name). I think they're mostly found in Asia.


<span style="color: lightblue">You taste it.

<span style="color: lightblue">That would depend on what country you're in. For example, the US has quarters, Australia doesn't... and then there's the countries that don't have 'dollars' at all.


EDIT: Removed one answer because I didn't read the question properly...

ROFL @ Donkee basterd. It's not what you think Donut, it's sugar. :D although i haven't heard of that brand before. I Googled around a little, and there was a site from Donkee Basterd Sugar, but it was down for me. Apparently it's made in Amsterdam, but that's all i came up with.

Google did ask if i didn't mean Donkey Bastard instead, but i don't think i want to know where it would have brought me if i clicked that link. :D

i found a few of them, the word that is pronounced the same with four letters removed? Queue (if i spelled it wrong, you know what i mean). the spinny star thingy? rowel. 10 letters to the hawaiian alphabet. dreamt ends in mt.

I didn't read your whole quiz, sorry. I had to respond to this one, though:
Where does the expression “rule of thumb” come from?

The rule of thumb was in accordance to how thick of a stick Puritans used to beat their wives with. It was to be as thick as their thumb, or less. :D

Not the answer I've got - but close
