Yeah, great job guys. Michael Bradley being the ex-US soccer captain and also the captain of My Toronto FC. James T.
Kirk obviously being Captain Kirk and Chris Evans being Captain America. That correct answer there was captain.”
Connection?
a game of poker, a cruise ship, Alexander Hamilton to George Washington.

“So there is a shot in golf called a flop shot. However, the correct answer for this one was in fact four. A bad golfer would yell four.
There are four elements that the Avatar the Last Airbender, earth, water, fire and air, and Brett Favre did wear number four.
Yes, but when Brett Favre sent those pictures, it flopped out, so I think that that should also come.”

“What term is the scientific word for naming, circumscribing, and classifying groups of biological organisms based on their shared traits and characteristics? The word translates from ancient Greek to arrangement and method. Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus is recognized as the modern day father of this biological system.
However, it can be traced back to the early 1500s where Egyptian cave paintings distinguished the differences between poisonous plants and those that are safe to consume.”
Taxonomy
“Okay, question number three, and the category is Looney Tunes. First voiced by Mel Blanc, this Looney Tunes character made his first onscreen appearance in the 1948 cartoon titled Hair Devil Hair. The character is seen wearing an outfit typical of the Roman god in which part of his name comes from, and since his character has no actual mouth, he uses excessive body movements to portray his tone when the character speaks.”
Marvin the Martian
Roman god mars
“All right, and question number four, and the category is cities of war. The Battle of What City in 1815 was one of the most important in the Hundred Days War. The French army under Napoleon’s rule was handily defeated by two of the armies representing the Seventh Coalition under command of the Duke of Wellington.
At the time, the city resided in what was once known as the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, but is now found within the borders of neighboring Belgium. A Canadian city, which bears the same name, is home to research and motion and the invention of the BlackBerry smartphone. While an American city with the same name is home to the USHL’s Blackhawks of Iowa.”

“question number five, and the category is urban atrocity. A 2014 lawsuit saw the residents of West Coney Island do battle with New York City over what neighborhood resource. In 2013, the city sent a crew to bulldoze the resource to make way for a new amphitheater.
Residents of West Coney Island are amongst the poorest in New York City, and they heavily relied on this resource to hold events and strengthen solidarity. Sadly, this is just one example and a growing problem of the depletion of this resource in dense urban neighborhoods.”
