*For each of the five questions, post an image or two that illustrate each answer.
*Your answers should be complete sentences, specific enough that I know you know - generally - the answer, and IN YOUR OWN WORDS. (It'll be obvious if you copy and paste from Wikipedia, so please spare me that disappointment. You are intelligent, and are able to change the wording into your own language. I would rather read your words. ☺)
