Brontolare is Italian for 'to snore'. That's how I got that one. You're right about the look here hand wave.

Assuming that you are not pulling a joke on me... I learned a new italian word. :)

I have to add the caveat, because sometimes folks teach you words that don't mean exactly what you think they do. I've been on both sides of that equation.

Wow. Good guess. I got that one because when I was a kid, you used to be able to buy these little plastic dinosaurs at I think it was Ben Franklin for a dime each, or something like that.

I did guess at the heaviest noble gas question, but I had remembered that it’s the heaviest elements that are radioactive, and they blame lung cancer on this element, so I got that right.

Paleolithic and Pleistocene was another I was unsure but the phrasing of the question itself is the clue to the answer.
