Another fun quiz

Got this one in an email today, I have seen one of the questions before

They are straight questions with straight answers..


1. Name the one sport in which neither the
spectators nor the participants know the score
or the leader until the contest ends.



2. What famous North American landmark is
constantly moving backward?



3 Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce
on their own for several growing seasons. All
other vegetables must be replanted every year.
What are the only two perennial vegetables?



4. What fruit has its seeds on the outside?



5. In many liquor stores, you can buy pear
brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The
pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is
genuine; it hasn't been cut in any way. How
did the pear get inside the bottle?



6. Only three words in standard English begin
with the letters ' dw' and they are all common
words.

grammar. Can you name at least half of them?
