17. What is the mythic parallel to the Wee Free Men?

Pixies, with some hints of both Pictic and Highlander tribes thrown in for good measure.

Totally did not mean to vanish; catching up on stuff after travel, just sort of fell asleep all day yesterday.

By which I mean all grants and such will be compounded for today!

6. Dude slipped up while he danced and sang at night. Queen's messenger overheard Rumple saying his own name.

14. Who is 'the next Granny Weatherwax' rumored to be?

Tiffany Aching.

Granny's broom however is passed on to Tiffany's apprentice Geoffrey, and I would have really enjoyed a twisted plot around the boy who wants to be a witch and Discworld's only female wizard, were there still upcoming books to wait for.

Jack Rollins was a character in both the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the comics. How did his appearance in the comics differ?

In the comics he was a Shield agent infiltrated in Roxxon.

Prize pool updated!

Questions updated! Ten more added!

15. What M&M color was once recalled, and why?

Red.

After several studies which linked the particular food coloring "Red No. 2" to possible health problems, many products containing that color were recalled and the use of Red No.2 as food additive got prohibited. People became wary of red food coloring, and while M&Ms had always used a different type of red for their candy, their red M&M still got replaced with a less suspicious orange instead.

13-Why are rainbows curved?
Because of reflection! The raindrops (or waterdrops really) reflect the light at an approximate 40-42 degree angle, depending on the wavelength.

16. What is the reason behind the phrase 'mad as a hatter'?

There are a few possible explanations for the phrase. I am most familiar with the thought that because the hat makers would often work with dyes or other chemicals that were toxic, the long term exposure could make them a little loopy. Mercury, for example. This explanation assumes the definition of "mad" as unhinged or crazy, as opposed to being synonymous with "angry."

Payouts sent in! Remember, there are no time limits on corrections or addendums, unlike with answers. If you're lacking a few coins, give it a shot!

I want to try challenge the master in Science.

18. What are 'toe beans'?

~~They're toes, and they look like beans.~~ The fleshy parts underneath paws.

Oh! Yes, yes, excellent~ Soon as we can synchronize. Tell me current time and the time you would like to start! (So I can do it right.)

15. Schrodinger's cat is a thought experiment to disprove the fallacy of the the copenhagen interpretation (of quantum mechanics).

I'm like 9 hours ahead of Trisphee server time, if I remember correctly. Right now at least it's 9am for me. I can do late evening, to avoid you having to get up in the middle of the night. Unless your own time zone notably differs from Tris as well.

Various answers to this specific question because there are no clarifying details of which specific Superhuman Registration Act from which Marvel comic universe.

The FIRST Registration Act for all superhuman beings in a Marvel Book came from the 1980's X-Men comics Mutant Registration Act. Came forth as an act of registering mutants in order to regulate and discriminate from the government and general populace, this act came to being with the exposure of mutants from the X-Men themselves.

What is more close to counting to all Superhuman registration was the Metahuman Act in the 1990's Fantastic Four comics, but only dealt with superhumans who were born with powers instead of people who later developed or gained powers.

The next Super Human Registration Act came from the 2006's Civil War Comics which ideas and laws came from the Mutant Registration Act but under a new name to help re-enforce the law. This wasn't a direct effect of a specific Super Hero team but rather because of a large amount of super human beings now exposed/living on Earth and the Government trying to regulate and control the super power populace. Which idealism came into the laps of Iron Man and Captain America who then fought over the idea of whether a registration act should take place or not.

edit:

Healing factor aside, there was a mystical reason Deadpool could not die. What was it?

Thanos is in love with Death and Death is infatuated with Deadpool, therefore Thanos cursed Deadpool with eternal life so Death and Deadpool can never be together.

Also if you wanna push is MCU it is solely the Avengers and SHIELD as X-Men aren't actually part of it. But if you watch all the MCU series the blame is placed mostly on Wanda's shoulders even though the Inhumans are causing more chaos

5. Robert Downey Jr. ate blueberries from his hidden food collection.

And now it's 1am at my place, so that'd be the rough time frame I can be available for play.
