General Knowledge quiz II

[Olav]

What's the name of the volcano in Alaska that's currently in the news?

 

[Love]

Sarah Palin?

 

[Olav]

Is there a volcano in Alaska names S Palin. I doubt that.

 

[Catharsis]

Is it Levi Johnston Volcano? (Or to use the local name, Mount Palin's Daughter.)

 

[Love]

I was so sure i was right

 

[Diamondeye]

I think the reason Love's answer is wrong is that Palin is no longer in the news. I have no knowledge of other things in Alaska, though. Apparently, the danish media finds it less interesting.

 

[Olav]

Is it Levi Johnston Volcano? (Or to use the local name, Mount Palin's Daughter.)

No.

There's a big hint here:

I doubt that.

...you should reconsider your guesses.

 

[Love]

She's probably somewhere in the news.

I guess she's a newsqueen in alaska.

 

[Diamondeye]

They've not named it redoubt, have they?

 

[Olav]

They have! Mount Redoubt is the correct answer. Your turn, Diamondeye.

 

[Diamondeye]

My god. Is it a bad sign that your first association to the word "Redoubt" is a modern-age castle from Rise of Nations?

No, that wasn't my question, sorry.

A young lady crashes her car (no pun intended), and her mother, who is in the car with her, dies. The young lady is taken to the hospital. The surgeon arrives, but refuses to operate the young lady, stammering "I can't give surgery to my own daughter". How is this possible?

 

[Krill]

The surgeon is her father.

Open floor

 

[Diamondeye]

Correct, if it wasn't obvious.
