Those are all NFL teams, but the Detroit Tigers is a Major League Baseball team. Question eight. The title of James Joyce's Ulysses comes from the Latinised name of what hero Odysseus and he just finished Ulysses.

H hoof. That's it for the first half, which means it's time for the Bang Bang Round. The category for this week's Bang Bang Round is society and Culture. You will have thirty seconds to answer the following question. According to the not dot com, what are the traditional milestone anniversary gifts for the first eight years of marriage? Your time starts now.

Question twelve the category is gains and hobbies. What spinning toy used by kids? To battle each other was introduced in nineteen ninety nine by Japanese toy company Takara Tomi and sold internationally by Hasbro beginning in two thousand and two. And

That was kind of a later development for leprechauns. They just kind of started out as little fairies that ran around a lot, and so the tails evolved into them having to either repair or make their own shoes. Because they ran around so much, that became a fact that they were cobblers, and yates called them solitary fairies. They didn't hang out a lot with other fay folk.

So if I was a fairy, I'd be eleprecon Question eleven. Whose ambitions were stopped in Russia in eighteen twelve after the Battle of Borodino Napoleon Bonaparte? Question twelve what spinning toy used by kids to battle each other? Was introduced by Takara Tomy and sold by Hasbro beginning in two thousand and two. Babe Blade, did you ever have one of those?

Way, Yeah, milk, that's right there.

Question sixteen. Which underwater animals populations sing different songs based on their geographical location? Whales?

That's lovely so.

In studies on this, scientists found that the farther apart two groups were, the more different the sounds were. For example, Indian ocean humpbacks sound very different from Pacific ocean humpbacks, while different populations within the same general part of the Pacific will share more elements and song structures, and they also learn versus from other songs from Wales they encounter throughout their lives. Huh, pretty neat.

That's it for the regular rounds, which means it's time for the Big Bang Round. Category for this week's Big Bang Round is historical Geography.

It is Malta, the.

Malta Tease Falcon, Malta Teese. I love it because they got this metal and they were so proud of it that it's now part of their flag.

They put it on the flag.

I just think that that is so. I don't know why, Like I don't want to sound like patronizing, but I'm like, that's just so cute.

It was a great spot because it's near Sicily and north of Tripoli in Africa, so of course the Italians and the Germans wanted it for staging attacks and things like that. It would just be a good strategic spot. And because I think the British had a presence there, they were able to hold it and keep it from falling into Axis hands. And the Knight's Hospital had a that was their main base of operation for a while, and they actually were administrators of a vassal kingdom there

It's true, so we should visit give them our money as a thank you. Yeah, I've been great, as he had been a clue question, but we can't actually expect everyone to know what breed of dog we used to own.

And I figured that the malted milk balls from the UK probably been a little spot on as well. The dashal Hammett work. As Annie said, Maltese Falcon and yeah, I think if you're talking about hard boiled detective stuff, Sam Spade dashal Hammett and the thin Man, Nick and Nora are dashal Hammett as well. Yeah, so he came up with a lot of good characters.

Yeah, the film series for The thin Man, I haven't actually read those books yet. The film series is really great, so I would like to read that series.
