(I'd aways heard boogie woogie originated in Texas but looking into it more, it seems there are different opinions about that, so New Orleans might be right.)
Kwaito is a musical genre that developed in Johannesburg, South Africa, during the 1990s. It's a form of "house music", which is a genre of electronic dance music developed in Chicago in the early 1980s.

Correct. Margd, FYI nobody ever says Happy Boxing Day. But thanks anyway.
Mexican jumping beans jump due to moth larvae inside the bean.
[color=0000AA]What is wrong with this statement?
We finally left California last night for our drive back east. We made several stops to pump gas as we crossed America. Our final stop to do this was in New Jersey just before we entered the Lincoln Tunnel. It was thrilling to exit the tunnel and find ourselves home at last in New York City. [/color]
Is it because you can't pump your own gas in Jersey? I know that because when I'd drive to Jersey to see Carol (LaRussa), I'd stop for gas and the attendant had to pump it for me. I wasn't allowed to. Before I add a trivia question, I'll wait to see if I'm correct.

Pam, you're right! Oregon, I believe, is the only other state that does this.
Your turn.
Your turn.
Cool! OK, let me think here....

Wow, very impressive. Aspen works. I was thinking of Boise (bois is French for wood), Idaho.
The plain city would be Las Vegas (the plains). Would have helped if I hadn't misspelled plain.
If there's such a place as Moose Lake, that works. Too lazy to look it up. I was thinking of Hartford.
Answer to yours is Australia. Never knew that.
Who used to live in Christiania?

Norwegians! Christiania/Kristiania is the old name for Oslo.
Moose Lake is in Minnesota. . .around 2,700 population. Boise is bigger anyway! But I didn't know that meant woods.
What was the first product to have its barcode scanned at the grocery checkout?

There with 3 things Al Pacino could not do while filming The Godfather, which caused some difficulty in the script for Francis Ford Coppola. What 3 things were they?

Wow, that's hard, I can't find the answer anywhere. I know he couldn't memorize lines so he always had to have cue cards. And he mumbled. And was kind of a problem on set. So maybe:
Memorize lines
Speak clearly
Behave himself? :tongue2:

I'll give you the answer. First time I ever heard he could not learn his lines. Sounds untrue to me.
1. He could not drive.
2. He could not speak Italian.
3. He could not dance.
Why would I tell someone that I am a Brummie?

Sure, after that I might also be gone for awhile.
What is the alternative keyboard to the QWERTY keyboard called, who invented it and what are its advantages (if any) over the QWERTY keyboard?

There are a lot of different keyboard combinations. I expect you mean the most famous called the Simplified Keyboard by August Dvorak and William Deary. The layout uses less finger motion and reduces errors than the querty keyboard, you'd use it to avoid repetitive strain and to type faster.
