    Fear of tongues? I'm not entirely sure if it refers to the muscles or to the languages, though.

    Is it a dame (pronounced dam spelled dame)?

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    Queen

    I remember hearing this as a kid and for years I thought this was why the male lion was "king" of the jungle

    Yep - queen is the answer apparently. Funny that you wouldn't hear it much. I thought it might have been something to do with 'mog' when I was asked it :o

    with the earth being an oblate spheroid I would guess at somewhere highup on the equator (Andes mountains perhaps)

    I would guess at the peak in Ecuador called Chimborazo is the one.

    I actually think you're right btw, but it has to be by less than 100 miles. Very good call on your behalf

    I think I now owe two.

    1. Sometimes after a very heavy thunderstorm you can smell a substance that smells similar to chlorine in the air. What is this substance?

    2. What two characters in the Simpsons win the state lottery (at different times)

    1. Petrichor? But that's usually as soon as it starts to rain.
