  8. The desire to eat strange things that are non-nutritive is known as what?
PICA  I understand that could be, e.g., paint flakes, sand, dirt, ice, paper. I wonder if that would include chewing gum? Or old cigars?  Though I guess it only counts if you swallow the stuff.

9. What football team had the biggest scoring comeback in the history of the Super Bowl?

Patriots

Jupiter and it is a gas planet

Hmmmm, people have been busy while I was off yesterday afternoon and evening! Let's see, Rutumi, you are correct for #11 and #8! I've known people, many that like to crunch on ice. But some of the others? No thanks!

Jenny, you are correct for #9, and I'm going to give you #5 because new information has come out since that quiz question's answer. There are four known gas giants in our solar system, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Neptune has clouds of frozen methane gas.
