The weird part is that, literally translated, "homophobia" really can mean "fear of monotony." I don't know if "fear of monotony" is actually ever used, though. It's just how the word translates.

Maybe change the question around so it asks "____ is the fear of monotony," and then "homophobia" could be the answer. That way, people wouldn't waste a lot of time guessing at the wrong concept.

Or just remove the question entirely, I guess. :P

Shouldn't the first hint just be "j" and then the second hint can be "je"? Surely they shouldn't be the same. :o

If the second hint shows 1/3 of the letters (in this case, 1.3 letters - more than 1) and the third hint shows 1/2 (2 letters exactly - still more than 1, less than 3)...

More typos!


.19273. In which game could you plink with your plonker and squopp your opponent ?
YES, WPPWAH got the answer -> tiddleywinks <-


The answer should be "tiddlywinks"


.19291. In which 1949 film do spencer tracy and katherine hepbum play, married opposing lawyers ?


The question should read "In which 1949 film do Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn play married opposing lawyers ?" (some grammar/spelling changes)


.19352. Whose new york yankees 1927 jersey fetched a record $360,000 ?
YES, [ESP]elnino got the answer -> lou gehrigs


People complained that it should be either "lou gehrig" or "lou gehrig's" with the apostrophe, since the "s" threw them off.
