Thursday's questions:
Not an Apple, Not From a Pine Tree: June 27 is Pineapple Day! In honor of this delicious fruit that is definitely not an apple and certainly doesn't come from a pine tree, here are five questions about other things with very misleading names.
1. The Isle of Dogs is a peninsula, not an island, and there aren't that many dogs there. It's home to Canary Wharf, where there are no canaries. In what city can you visit the Isle of Dogs and Canary Wharf?
2. If you combine milk, carbonated water, and chocolate syrup, you've created what beverage, whose name would lead you to believe there are at least two different ingredients in the recipe?
3. The English Horn is neither English, nor a horn. It was invented in Poland, and belongs to the double-reed woodwind family. Name one of the other two double-reed woodwinds most commonly found in orchestras.
4. “The Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.” That famous quip is attributed to what French Enlightenment writer, who published “Candide” in 1759?
5. The guinea pig is not a pig, and it doesn't come from Africa. It's a rodent, and it originated on what continent?
