avrelia1. In 1504 Michelangelo’s statue of David was unveiled in Florence. Have you ever seen the original or a copy of it?
I've been to Florence and seen the one that stands in the original place, but it is a copy. Also, there is a copy in Moscow Pushkin Art Museum that I saw a lot during all the school trips.
2. Do you know how to use a sewing machine? Do you own one?
I know, but I struggle with it. There is always something wrong with my sewing.
3. In 1909 the German astronomer Max Wolf rediscovered Halley's comet - have you ever seen a comet?
I don't think so.
4. Today is European Migraine Day of Action to raise awareness - have you ever had a migraine?
Yes. I am lucky they are only occasional.
5. Do you own a desktop computer or do you use a laptop or a tablet?
we have a desktop computer at home, but I use laptop right now.
6. Francis Scott Key wrote the poem "Defence of Fort M’Henry" in 1814. It was later known as "The Star-Spangled Banner” - do you know all the words?
No.
I still remember the hymn of USSR. Which should tell you something about the state of my memory.
7. Penicillin was discovered today in 1928 by Alexander Fleming - have you ever had to take it?
Probably.
8. In 1953 the first cinemascope film was shown - The Robe starring Richard Burton. Do you prefer to see a movie at home or on the big screen (does it depend on the type of movie)?
at home, but big screen is fun, too
9. What is the worst smell you’ve ever smelled?
something my dog rolled in 30 years ago. and then I had to wash her, so I couldn't even hide from it.
10. Have you ever tried wearing contact lenses?
no
11. It’s Talk Like a Pirate Day! Have you read Robert Louis Stephenson’s Treasure Island?
yes. but as a kid, in translation, not in English.

Same :)
