Please welcome our host, Mama the Llama!
Hello and welcome to Triviarama! In writing this trivia I spend a lot of time on Wikipedia. I’ve read uncountable articles and I’ve browsed so many lists. I’ve read more “talk” pages than would ever be necessary. But sometimes I hit writer’s block and I can’t find anything I want to write a question about. That’s when I use the “random article” feature. Usually it leads me to an article with less than a paragraph of information. Eventually though I find something worth writing about.
Today I’m going all in on random articles. 20 questions from 20 random articles. No skips or shuffles. Whatever appears, I’ll write a question about it. Is this a terrible idea? Probably. Based on previous experience I’m guessing we’ll get at least one question about a city or town in Poland. There might be a question about a specific season of a sport you’ve never followed. It’s all *random*
Question 1 - Bryotropha sattleri - This animal is part of the group Gelechia, which means “keeping to the ground.” The group contains case-bearers, twirler blanks, and curved-horn blanks and is itself a part of the larger group Lepidoptera. What kind of animal is B. sattleri?
2 - Dunton Green - This small village is located in the fifth most populous county in England. It is also the closest county to continental Europe. What county is Dunton Green in?
3 - Phoradendron macrophyllum - This berry producing plant is known as Colorado Desert blank. It is parasitic, but don’t let that ruin your Christmas romance. What word fills in the blank?
4 - Ratan Parimoo - This living art historian wrote a book titled Sculptures of Sheshashayi ‘blank.’ This book focuses on depictions of one of the principal deities of Hinduism, specifically in the reclined position. Who is this deity, who is typically shown holding a conch shell, chakra, club, and lotus flower in each of his four arms?
5 - Černé vdovy - This Czech television series is an adaptation of the Finnish series Mustat lesket. This Finnish show was also adapted in Mexico under the title Mujeres de negro, which removes the ‘arańa’ element in the other titles. What is the English translation of the Czech and Finnish titles?
