Not fair to google the questions LOL

This is a quiz for people who know everything. (You may know some from the politcal Forum)
These are not trick questions.
They are straight questions with straight answers.

1. Name the one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends.

2. What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward?

3. Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year.. What are the only two perennial vegetables?

4. What fruit has its seeds on the outside?

5. In many liquor stores, you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasn't been cut in any way. How did the pear get inside the bottle?

6. Only three words in standard English begin with the letters " dw" and they are all common words. Name two of them.

7. There are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar. Can you name at least half of them?

8. Name the only vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form except fresh.

9. Name 6 or more things that you can wear on your feet beginning with the letter "S."

2. The grand canyon... (guess)

4. Strawberry
5. The pear is tiny, and the glass refracts the light to make it "look" larger, but its not. That's my guess anyway. :p

7. Comma, period, apostrophe, exclamation point, question mark, ampersand (sp?), colon, semi-colon, quotation mark, pound, asterisk... ?
8. Banana?
9. shoe, sock, sandal, and then again on the other foot. :p
 
1. Boxing right? Seeing that they tell the winner at the end and until then no one really knows.

4. Don't strawberries have the little tiny green seeds on the outside? I don't ever recall seeing them on the inside.

5. No idea, maybe they put the bottom of the bottle on separately? Unless they grow the damn pear in the bottle idk how they do it.

6. Dwarf and Dwell are the only ones I know.

7. Period, comma, colon, semi-colon, ampersam (sp?), parenthesis, brackets, question mark, dash, exclamation point, hyphen.

8. Lettuce? I've never seen it any other way.

9. shoes, socks, slippers, stockings, sandals, sneakers....dunno anymore

4. strawberries
5. they place the bottle around the pear on the tree and it grows inside the bottle
6. dwarf, dwell, dweeb.

The pear brandy... bottle is placed over the branch and pear grows, literally, inside the bottle.
