YEP

You're up Linda. The spotlight is on you now.

Do you feel the pressure building on you?

I don't feel the pressure, lol. Before the DVD, what was the original optical movie player called?

VHS

VCR

VHS and VCR are both wrong. The key word is optical. Give you another hint, what I'm talking about is the same size as a record.

Do you mean a laserdisc?

You are correct. Its a laser disc.

Woohoo!

On which 2 days is it 12 hours light and 12 hours dark a day, everywhere in the world? Exact dates would be nice, but approximates are accepted

I have absolutely NO idea... Will be interesting to hear the answer to that one.

It actually kinda makes sense, if you think about it

I don't know the answer either. I agree will be interesting to hear the answer.

If no one knows the answer within oh...a day or so, I can give the answer. But like I said, as I dont need the exact dates, you can fairly easily reason when it should be. Its 2 times in a year. 12 hours light and 12 hours dark...when is the shortest day and when is the longest?....so when would be the days that day and night are equally long....?

Nope no clue

Remember, I dont need the exact dates, just an approximation.

Ill give one more day, with this hint:

2 times a year, in between the shortest and longest day when the days are getting longer and in between when they are getting shorter. Come on, I know someone should be able to crack it with this hint/guide

March and September? It's Equinox baby...

Yup, thats it. Its the 21st march and september...altough different sources give slightly different dates (anything between 21st and 23rd of either month).

So, youre up Ang

Who do all the swans in England belong to?

The queen? The wild swans at least of a certain species, I think

You are correct my friend.

Cool. Next question:

What is the largest known organism alive today? You can actually answer this a number of ways since large can mean mass, height, volume or area. I only need one of those. There is some leeway in this as well since not everyone seems to agree (as usual). Anyway, gimme some answers

A giant sequoia tree They grow to an average height of 70 – 85 m (230 – 280 ft) and 5 – 7 m (16 – 23 ft) in diameter. Specimens have been recorded to be up to 94.9 m (307 ft) in height and (not the same individual) 8.98 m (29 ft) in diameter; the largest individual is the General Sherman tree, with a volume of 1,489 m3.[55] Although not so large in volume, the closely related Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) is taller, reaching a maximum height of 115.55 m (379.1 ft)[56]. These trees dwarf any other non-communal organism, as even the largest Blue Whales are likely to weigh one-sixteenth as much as a large Giant Sequoia or Coast Redwood. See record trees for other tree records.

Im actually not sure what your answer is. The Giant Sequoia is not the tallest organism, nor is it the heaviest or does it have the highest volume. As a single stem tree, it does have the highest volume and mass, but the Coastal Redwood (as it says in your wiki bit) is taller

Since you did find the Coastal Redwood Im gonna give this an ok

Btw, those sequoias are really cool, they also have a special mechanism to get water up that high, which is very cool. The coolest trees though, imo, are the ones that have been around since the last ice age. Yes, thats the same individual tree that seemed to have lived back then too. Climate change now? Think of the change that single tree went through and survived...

Anyway, next question, Dante

HOW DID YOU KNOW IT WAS FROM WIKIPEDIA!!!! LOL

An Mp5 is what type of gun?
