    Nope. Strangely for an English name, Barbara means foreigner!

    It's really hard to come up with questions that google can't answer within a fraction of a second... :(

    being a Sunday, that could depend upon your religion. For example, if you are about to attend ritual mass, they may well be white. ;)

    A question which is difficult to google. What is the connection between heavy metal music and a sheet metal factory in Birmingham ?

    Black Sabbath - their guitarist Tony Iommi lost the tips of his fingers working in a sheet metal factory in Birmingham.

    My guess would be that a band either played a gig or rehearsed there, but as my knowledge of heavy metal music is limited, I wouldn't be able to guess which one.

    Close enough BB. As a result of this he made artificial tips for those fingers which caused too much stress when playing - as a result he toned the guitar down to a level which he could play and heavy rock lead guitarists have done the same ever since. Over to you BB.

    Have to go out for a while, so I will leave you to mull over this one for a while (or to go mad googling)

    The popular name for which Asian fruit was given because of its resemblance to an ancient beverage called bitter water, even though the flesh of the fruit is sweet?
