Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-2-2022: World Wildlife Day

3rd March, 2022.

Yes: it’s a Thursday.

And?

I’m going to be going to going to going to my Thursday Weight Zoom Meeting.

It’s a drone fest, but helpful: it’s got me talking to people.

I’ve also double checked on my weight for it.

The reason I was worrying up, last week?   Was because I didn’t check if my scales had been zeroed.

I reset it, this morning: and got a result more in line with more recent results.

Phew!

~≈⚖️≈~

You’ll possibly have guessed I’m a fan of Dr Who.

One who’s just caught this scene from Genesis of the Daleks, on YouTube.

I’m just wondering about a plot point.

Did Davros make up the word, ‘Dalek’?

Or did he find it in the Doctor’s interrogation record … ?

Just a thought …

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga*, Mum† and Debbi‡ putting in their answers: with everyone scoring five out of five.


Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video … 

Q1)        3rd March is World Wildlife Day.   It marks the day who adopted the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna: the UN General Assembly, the UN Security Council or the World Health Organisation?

Q2)        The Convention is usually call what: CITES, CITED or CITATIONS?

Q3)        The day celebrates flora and fauna.   Wild animals are what: flora or fauna?

Q4)        Plants are what: flora or fauna?

Q5)        Finally … ?   The Convention marked today is there to protect wildlife that is what: rare, extinct or endangered?

Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers … 

Q1)        2nd March saw the birth of musician, Lou Reed.   In which year of the 1940s?

A1)        1942.

Q2)        He was a member of which Andy Warhol managed band: The New York Dolls, the Velvet Underground or Blondie?

A2)        The Velvet Underground.

Q3)        His second album is generally seen as his best.   What’s it called: Lou Reed, Transformer or Berlin?

A3)        Transformer^.   (I’ve got a copy, myself.   You weren’t consider hip, at college, unless you did.   Famously?   It was co-produced by David Bowie.)

Q4)        He married his third wife in 2008.   Who was she: Gates McFadden, Angie Bowie or Laurie Anderson?

A4)        Laurie Anderson.   ‘Hi, I’m not home right now. But if you wanna leave a message, just start speaking at the sound of the tone.   Wap wap wap wap …’.   (I read Angie Bowie’s biography, Backstage Passes.   Apparently, during lunch with Lou, one day, he told Angie he took massive amounts of heroin because it was the only way to survive New York’s pollution.   She was politely, and understandably, sceptical … )

Q5)        Finally … ?   Reed used Gibson SGs, Epiphone Rivieras and a Gibson ES-335.   They’re all electric whats: basses, guitars or banjos?

A5)        Guitars.

Here’s a thought … 

“The animals and plants that live in the wild have an intrinsic value and contribute to the ecological, genetic, social, economic, scientific, educational, cultural, recreational and aesthetic aspects of human well-being and to sustainable development.”

From the UN page on World Wildlife Day.

And a song …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

The quizmaster’s decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Yep: I managed to do that, yesterday, Olga.   And I asked them to tell my GP I’d already joined the weight management group she suggested in her text message.   Hopefully, that’ll get through.

        I think they need to update their systems: the company that run the group concerned, has now been purchased … by the company that runs the group I’m at today …

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        Oh, tell me about it, Debbi!   Yeah, I got the email: everything OK, there?   Don’t forget to tag me in the review!
