Quiz time

Just had an idea for another time wasting game. I will ask a single trivia type question and the first person to answer it correctly gets to ask the next one.

Double check the answer to your question first unless you are 100% certain of it! However you are NOT allowed to look up the answer to someone elses question (unless you aren't participating). If you aren't sure have a guess anyway, you might give us a laugh :-)

OK here's the starter: The author of childrens book "Chitty Chiity Bang Bang" is also famous for creating which other fictional character?

Apollo was one of the Greek gods of the sun, the other was Helios....I know that for a fact. The only other one I can think of is Selene, but that's a Goddess....

So ? Animal, vegetable, or mineral ? Whoops...wrong thread...mybad

Well, the answer I was given at the quiz I went to was Apollo, but when I looked it up I couldn't find anything that supports this. Jhimoac or Lauren can take it though, Selene was probably the best guess...

I dont think anybody will get this question (it's been a while)...so:

"Tonight's full Moon will be almost 12 percent bigger than some of the full Moons this year, according to
NASA, setting up a fine viewing opportunity when it rises in the evening.

The reason: The Moon is near perigee, the point on its slightly out-of-round orbit that is closest to Earth.

This Moon is called the Harvest Moon, owing to its timing of being nearest the autumnal equinox. Farmers in the past relied on it to harvest all night. The Harvest Moon is not always closer and bigger than normal."
