Re: 2012 Summer Hiatus Challenge -- Round 2, Day 2
THAT'S (NOT VERY) COLD, “J”
2: This country's “Three Holy Mountains” are Mount Tate, Mount Haku, and Mount Fuji.
4: In the Parable of the Good Samaritan, the traveler is journeying from this city, home to the highest peak in Israel, to Jericho, one of the country's lowest elevations.
6: The highest temperature recorded in this city since it became a state capital in 1959 was 90 degrees on July 7, 1975.
8: Nordjylland, the northernmost county on this Danish peninsula, is surprisingly warm compared to European regions of similar latitude.
10: This Smokey Mountain city, home to East Tennessee State University, was named for the President who lived in nearby Greeneville.
OPERATIC DEATHS
I have an e-mail address for the author of this category, but no user name. If this is you, please take a bow.
3. In this Mozart opera, the title character is dragged to hell by a talking statue.
6. This disease slowly claims the lives of the heroines of "La Traviata," and "La Boheme."
9. This Leoncavallo opera features fatal stabbings by a jealous clown.
12. Method of execution used in "Salome," "Turandot," and Handel's "Julius Caesar;" the proof is later displayed onstage.
15. Spoiler alert! In Wagner's Ring Cycle, this group of nymphs drags Hagen to a watery death and reclaims the ring.
