Storms, I don't have a clue 'bout either. So I'm gonna guess: Facebook?

What's the difference between "a flamingo" and "a flamenco"? Not a trick question, I was just amazed that one of my kids teachers didn't know and want to check if it really might be a hard question...

Flamingo is a bird, flamenco is a dance.

[Throw TheLiving Silverware he/him/il/lui]

Gold, iron, silver, zinc, tin.

 

Without looking it up, can you name 5 writers writing in a language other than English, as well as the language they are/were writing in? 

 

Edit: crem, tin isn't one. So here is a funny chemistry image

Later edit: apparently zinc might not be one, depending on who you ask. I had no idea that the border of the transition metals was so blurry.

All too easy. There are 23 total, one in each biome except for there are 3 in the forest and 3 in that one temple.
