Alan Rock's Trivia!

Questions:

1)  West Side Story is based on this popular Shakespeare play.



2)  Benghazi is the second largest city in what country?

3)  The 1904 Olympics were held in this city.  It was the first Olympics held in the United States.

4)  Cattle become a herd; geese gather in gaggles; lions form a pride. When divas get together, what are the group of them called?

Answers:

1)  Romeo and Juliet


2)  Libya

3)  St. Louis, MO

4)  There is no official collective noun for divas, for as the Collective Noun Project explains,  

"Divas being without herding instinct, this noun of assemblage describes a phenomenon never yet observed in nature. A solitary predator with a strong territorial instinct, the diva may tolerate any number of scavengers, sycophants and assorted hangers-on but will fight a serious (younger/thinner) rival to the death."
example: "His extensive record collection paid homage to a ceremony of divas, each with bigger hair, more powerful a belt and a more poignant riches-to-rehab-to-return redemption story, than the last."
