1. 116 years sounds right (had to study this enough in History of the English Language, bleh)
2. Think they're from Equador
3. It comes primarily from sheep
4. November is correct
5. ox, pony, and/or squirrel
6. Lots of dogs :)
7. Albert
8. Depends... male or female? Males are pale red, like a rose or a blush with some darker red mixed in. Females are brown and white (which is rather common amoung female birds)
9. New Zealand
10. 30 years

Wow! The first time I ever ate a kiwi, I thought it looked a lot like a giant gooseberry inside. Tasted similar too. I never knew that they had another name. I wonder if they are related? ???
