Trivia Question of the Day

[Opsboi]

Oology?

[llondel]

Apology is pretty short, but I'm guessing there's one with a single letter even if I don't know what it is.

[Wodrick]

Oology is the study of birds' eggs, according to the American Ornithological Society. The term was first used to promote William Hewitson's book British Oology in 1830.

Fly away YHC.

What role did a divine wind play in WWII?

[Fox3WheresMyBanana]

Attacking US ships
Kamikaze aircraft

[Opsboi]

Correct
Although I doubt the wind in the cockpit just before impact was exactly divine...

Over to you, sir

[Fox3WheresMyBanana]

Which sport has no umpires, even at Olympic level - (on the field of play at any rate)?

[larsssnowpharter]

Football. It has referees.

[Fox3WheresMyBanana]

Ok, I wasn't careful enough with the question. It's all yours.
I was hoping for Curling. The Umpire is only consulted when both players or teams ask. Otherwise, it's entirely self-policing.

[Fox3WheresMyBanana]

The USA, I think, 1783

[larsssnowpharter]

Twas indeed! The Treat of Paris confirmed American independence and its borders, fishing rights etc. Indeed the date has a claim as Independence Day as does 2 July but for other reasons.

You have control, sir.
