I do enjoy these quizzes, but don't generally partake, preferring, instead to follow up and check out any subject raised that I find interesting.

That being said, when I saw Q12 earlier, the "answer" that popped straight into my head was "A Little Bitter Water".

I know. Sad, isn't it ?

Point for that Mike!

Greek mythology is mad. Cronus cut his father's (Uranus) testicles off with a magic sickle and threw them into the sea.The testicles became the TItans and Aphrodite grew out of the white foam released from the testicles.
It gets weirder from there as well.
