General Knowledge quiz II

[SS-18 ICBM]

I'm guessing they all have Nobel Prizes, and one of them is in a different category.

 

[Olav]

The first one is Sartre. The second one is Martti Ahtisaari? The last one looks very familiar...

Edit: Yeah, it has to be something with Nobel Prizes.

 

[Catharsis]

The last one is Bertrand Russell.

 

[Atticus]

So far right. By accident I chose them so that SS-18 ICBM is right on the category thing, Ahtisaari being the only one of them who won peace Nobel. (I somehow subconsciously always think Russell as a peace prize winner, since it had suited him better). The one I originally thought as the odd one was Sartre, perhaps someone knows why?

But yes, go ahead and ask the next one, SS-18 ICBM.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

So, let's see if anyone knows about the history of the Philippines. What was the the KKK (no, not that KKK)?

 

[Olav]

Hmm, looks like you have to post a new question or open the floor, SS. And the answer to your question too, if you don't mind!

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Here is the answer. Quite unfortunate they have share an acronym with an infamous racist group, but what are you gonna do?

And open floor to you, since you were the only one who bothered posting.

 

[philippe]

philippino resistance vs spain. late 19th century.

Hey, i'm Philippe for a reason .

EDIT: this is probably one of the suckiest crossposts happening to me.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Eh, whichever one of you guys gets it first then.

 

[philippe]

alrighty: which language has the biggest dictionary in the world? bonus points for the number of words in it.

 

[Olav]

Isn't English quite big? I guess... a million words!

 

[Marsden]

Krusty Komedy Klassics?

 

[Love]

Is it greek?

 

[Izipo]

Somehow, I have a feeling it could be Russian.

 

[Mise]

Flemish?

xcl

 

[Atticus]

I believe Olav got it right already, and there are 600 or 800 thousand words in English. (I've red that somewhere, but can't remember where).

 

[Olav]

I'll take Atticus' answer as a confirmation.

What's the body's largest organ?

 

[Izipo]

Excellent question, and I hope you've got the right answer.

I'll let others have a go.

 

[Perfection]

If skin constitutes an organ it's that, otherwise it's liver. It's not that uncommon for people to have bigger brains then livers though.

 

[Love]

The skin.....
