[QotD] May 29, 2009: To raise a global child

TODAY’S QUESTION:

The term “global village” was popularized by what professor of English literature in his 1962 book The Gutenberg Galaxy: The Making of Typographic Man?

PREVIOUSLY:

The question: Captain Hook shares his first name with the man who created him. What is it?

Captain Hook, like his fellow Captains Cook and Kirk, was named James. Yes, I have a badass first name. As did J.M. Barrie, Captain Hook’s creator.

A moment of self-critique: I have no idea why I decided Captain Cook’s first name was the most interesting thing I could turn into a question. I mean, it’s not a bad question, but … meh.

A better tack: “Q: According to his creator, who was Blackbeard’s boatswain and the only man Long John Silver ever feared? A: Captain Hook.”
