Re: 16. "Kiwi" fruit is a marketing ploy. It was not called that for many years (or centuries) before that. It is a [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwifruit_industry_in_New_Zealand#Rebranding_the_Chinese_gooseberry"]made up name[/URL]. It is not a coincidence - it [I]refers[/I] to the bird.

It is like in the movie [I]Demolition Man[/I], in the future, [SPOILER]Taco Bell[/SPOILER] became the sole surviving restaurant chain in the world. So the word "restaurant" disappeared from use and was replace by the words [SPOILER]Taco Bell[/SPOILER]. [SPOILER]It is a underwhelming case of synecdoche.[/SPOILER]

Re: 15. There is a planet called Saturday??! Wow!

I was about to post that! Additionally, Musca is a constellation and an insect, so that is presumably the answer which was intended.
