The indigenous languages of entire continents (like ours, Africa, and Asia) are not represented, but two choices from Papua New Guinea? (I got moustache right).
I suspect the second one was there to see if people had learned from the first example. Agreed the absence of entire continents is silly.
I have seen Dead Calm, not to be confused with the X-files episode Død Kalm, which I have also seen.
What did you think of it? I ran into mention of Dead Calm via Nicole Kidman and then The Deep via Michael Bryant and now I want to read the original novel, which annoyingly seems to be in print right now only as an e-book. I had this problem a few months ago with Helen Nielsen's Dead on the Level (1951) and I didn't appreciate it then, either.
My immediate reaction to the part about neck gaiters being worse than nothing was scoffing as well.
I went and looked at the supplementary materials about the neck fleece and their results did not seem implausible to me: "The neck fleece has a higher total droplet count compared to the control trial. When comparing the histogram, it appears that the fleece transmits fewer large droplets (above the resolution limit) and more small droplets (below the resolution limit). We interpret this as the neck fleece dispersing large droplets into several smaller droplets." It sounds like a filter problem.
I could loan you a copy, but I'd want it back, as it's autographed and the author is a friend.
I have not read The Mutual Admiration Society, but I would not risk your friend-autographed copy. I very much appreciate the offer.
