The Trivia Rep Game I'm dead bored today adn I thought about this topic:
It's going to be kinda trivia quiz, and all the participants can haunt rep points. There are only a few (and logical) rules:
- You should only post in these topics:
- Geometrical questions when you DON't have todraw and calculate
- Chemistry (without any calculations)
- Biology
- Physics (same: no calculation!!!)
- General Knowledge things (like biographical data of writers, etc.)
- The person who sent the question should check the answer and give the reputation
- Please don't be greedy... Skip at least 5 questions after your last correct answer
- Answer only (!!!) the very last question
- Don't forget to post a new question if you've answered correct
- Please don't forget that the fastest one gets the rep point for the answer.
So here's my first question:

It's produced by pounding the bauxite and calcinating it to make some weirdo thing called Alumia or some such, this weird metal is basically just aluminium.
Answer in short! woo me!
More trivia : Bauxite was found in some Italian or French, can't remember village called Baux. (Name makes me think French)
Ok, so my question is:
What is a papaya and what is one region that it comes from? This is uber easy people. A basic Google search will yield results in 5 seconds, so go forth! I'm so cool; put me in a fridge and it gets colder!
I'm Australian and that makes me MANLY!

I was looking for the atmosphere, temperature ranges, and the dust (regolith) they are both covered in. Obscure, but hey, this is triva.
BTW, you were supposed to follow your answer up with a question.

Here's a great bio on James Russell, inventor of the CD. Makes you want to do something with all the great ideas you have.
