Hey, sneaky!
At first sight this looks like a lot of pieces they eat but when you compare it with their population (about 65.000.000) then that is something eaten about once in a month!

(Don't know the answer)

Frogs' legs?

Orlok, give us a question, if you would.

Me again? OK, a light moment to refresh our braincells...

A blue house is made of blue bricks. A yellow house is made of yellow bricks. A red house is made of red bricks. An orange house is made of orange bricks. What would a green house be made of?

Glass!

Of course

Your go.

Just researching a question and came across the fact below. I couldn't think of a sensible question around it but had to share it.

9 people were killed (some drowned, some died from injuries, and one succumbed to alcohol poisoning) when 323,000 imperial gallons (1,468,000L) of beer in the Meux and Company Brewery burst out of their vats and gushed into the streets in London in 1814.

The one who died from alcohol poisoning is my new hero

Back with a question shortly.

Mesauring temperature?

No to both of those.

Maybe for treating some disease? Scurvy? Indigestion? Infertility? Malnutrition from a lack of donuts?

Telling the temperature, or predicting the weather?

No.

I'll add animals' intestines to the list as a further clue.
