Funemployment Trivia for 10 February

While I’m off work, I’m keeping a hand in the game with five trivia questions and answers each weekday.

  1. What chemical element lies between uranium and plutonium on the periodic table?
  2. The band Fragile Rock’s name is a nod to its emotionally vulnerable music, as well as the conceit that its members are not ordinary humans, but rather, what?
  3. What country saw its army defeated at Dien Bien Phu in 1954, and consequently withdrew all its military forces from Vietnam?
  4. The word “impeach” derives from the Latin for which body part?
  5. Pearl S. Buck’s The Good Earth, Willa Cather’s Shadows on the Rock, Mazo de la Roche’s Finch’s Fortune, Warwick Deeping’s The Ten Commandments, and Rafael Sabatini’s Scaramouche the King-maker were announced on October 12, 1931, as the first five novels to achieve what distinction?

Maybe I’ll get a fancy quiz plugin for this, but until then, answers will appear on their own page.
