This week, last year's most popular dog is still top, and the happiest nation is still the most contented. March is still madness and shutdowns still loom. Conspiracists are still theorizing about the Princess of Wales, despite her video announcement that she has cancer.

Hey, if you think the woman in the video is a body double, you be you. Everyone needs a hobby. Ours is writing this quiz. See if you can get an 11/11 this week — the above is a pretty blatant clue, so you've got at least one correct.

A previous version of the quiz incorrectly said that Finland is a Scandinavian country. Finland is a Nordic country.

    Introduction to Pigeons and Doves
    Dr. Jerry Jackson
    Pigeons and doves include over 350 species. Some are found on every continent except Antarctica. Pigeons (also known as Rock Doves) have been domesticated for food for centuries and were introduced to North America in the early 1600s. At least 15 species of pigeons and doves breed in the wild in North America and at least 6 species breed in the wild in Florida. Eurasian Collared Doves escaped from a breeder in the Bahamas, quickly became established in Florida in the 1980s, and now is found through much of North America. By far, the most common breeding dove in Florida is the Mourning Dove – so named for its mournful call.
