The 36 answers: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/91006925/animals_answers.txt

Questions/answers of the mini trivia:
  1. Nelson Mandela was the first country leader to install apologizes and forgiving of crimes as a rule to bring civil peace back in his country. What's his nick name?
    Madiba, Mandiba, Tata (Father)
    I had remarks about that point. To any who have doubts about it, I suggest you read:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth_and_ ... _Africa%29

    "The commission was empowered to grant amnesty to those who committed abuses during the apartheid era, as long as the crimes were politically motivated, proportionate, and there was full disclosure by the person seeking amnesty."
    and better that you watch the job: hearings of the commission were video-recorded and broadcasted. You can still find exerpts on Utube
  2. Who was the first musician to make regular use of the Larsen effect (acoustic feedback) in music?
    Pete Townshend (USA, The Who)
    Brian May ( G-B, Queen)

    I could not find enough references to decide, thus both answers were considered to be good.
    note: by regular I meant, usual, extensive, musical (thanks to radiant for correction)
    @floppy: Unterberger was journalist who wrote about it. Beatles' "I Feel Fine" was the first recorded example.
  3. What are the name and country of the first women to be a democratic country president in Asia after kicking the former dictator of her country?
    Corazon Aquino, Philippines.
  4. Who is the main composer and artist of brazilian music style Bossa Nova?
    Antonio Carlos Jobim, aka Tom Jobim
  5. Who said: "It is important to realize that in physics today, we have no knowledge what energy is."
    R. P. Feynman
  6. Who was the inventor of "Modern Tango (tango nuevo)" music style in the 50's
    Astor Piazzola
  7. Who was the main actors of the movie "Meet Joe Black" (3 names)
    Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins, Claire Forlani.
  8. One of our outstanding players has a literally cool name. Find who I am thinking about!
    clue: he is actually trying to find away to import French cheese with ManaMarket.
    Frost
