They're also treated with reflective paint these days, mainly on the antlers.
(also totally serious answer)

I mean Lapland borders Russia?
Reindeer are in Russia

Per Google

Step aside, Rudolph - you're getting some fierce competition!

Certainly one needs light in a submarine... but wouldn't a reindeer sooner or later eat the navigation charts? What do you think, guys and gals... was that the famous gift? Or something else entirely? Get your guess in!

I'm gonna refrain from sending in an answer for the current question, because I actually know the answer, and I wanna give other people a chance to earn points.

I was kidding about my answer xDD they might be from Russia, I wouldn't know.

Den, you can always send your answer in pm. That way others won't know what you picked. But there certainly will be more questions.

Ding-ding-ding, yet another round has passed! Did you get your guess in? Did you vote for chocolate? If so, you were... wrong.

Strange as it may sound, they really kept a reindeer on board. And rumor has it, once Pollyanna's barrel of moss ran out, she mostly dined on leftovers, but did indeed eat a navigation chart at some point.

The taxidermy moose head was a wonderful answer, albeit a bluff from Den, and as such is worth 20 points.

Congratulations to everyone who got the right answer or successfully got someone else to believe theirs! Will you be just as lucky with the next question?

Aw man have you guys even watched psycho
there were great answers like
first to show an assassination on-screen
first to show a man dressed as a woman
first to show a car drowning
(all made up by me, I have no idea if it was the first or not on those)
and one of you chose...
something that's not even on the movie that I was going to spoil here but I won't

Interestingly, cross dressing in movies goes back as far as at least 1913, where an officer pretends to be a female cook so he can spend more time with a young woman. The Little House in Kolomna is a black and white Russian silent film based on a poem by Alexander Pushkin. The first full feature length films with a men dressed as a woman would appear somewhere in the 1940s, and for a more popular example, Some Like It Hot premiered roughly one year before Psycho.

Now that "Learn something new every day" time has passed... what answer do you guess?

Psycho was the first movie to show a toilet flushing on screen.

Psycho was also the first to show a non married couple in bed together post Coitus.
I have never seen the movie though cause I don't like horror and slasher films.

I'm not fond of the genre myself, but I was able to watch it without issue. It helped that I knew the blood in the iconic scene was actually chocolate syrup.

Den is correct about the chocolate syrup, but there's still some time left before I'm going to reveal the right answer. So get your guesses in! ^^

Just as a warning, I know a lot of really random things about a myriad of topics, and I have a weird sense of humor, so I might just send in answers to mess with people. Mwahaha. XD

Psycho is definitely the first movie where you secretly want to lick the victim. :p-cool:
Because of the chocolate, I mean. Geez, all your dirty minds...

Ooh interesting fact about crossdressing...
I'll agree with Den just because it's a very random thing to be the first of.
