Not sure Casino Royale is defined as a "Movie" in the common meaning of the term as It was made for TV. Had a few different views on that one.

I'm definitely in the more traditional "Dr. No" camp.

Green triangle is praline i.e hazelnut

Smallest planet is now Mercury assuming Pluto hasn't flip-flopped status wise.

11) Paella with seafood has a special name called Paella de marisco. If you just use Paella, it would refer to original recipe, which is Valencia region, where no seafood is used, rabbit and chicken preferred, rarely duck.
