    It's either Quito or Guayaquil.

    I've been to both - but to be honest one was a container terminal and the other was a flying visit (haha) to the airport..... so no idea which is the capital.

    Well, it's not for me to say which, but you're right with one of them!

    I believe it was first used 'in anger' so to speak by the Titanic when it was sinking.

    But something tells me you're looking for more.

    International Morse code distress signal or the German name for it is Notzeichen and it was first used in 'anger' in 1908 by a Cunard ship.
    That took a lot of reading all my old maritime books.

    For which you can have a ding.

    It was chosen as an easily transmittable and recognizable series of dots and dashes, and repeats without pause ...---...---...---...---...---...---

    I've no idea what an anthropophage is but I'll guess the Elephant Man was one, in which case it would be John Hurt who won the oscar.

    Edit: I've just looked it up so I'll save you the bother of telling me that I'm wrong

    Racked my brains for this one as it is a long time since I used it but I think it is Pi and 3.141592
    In my long distanced youth I used to be a toolmaker and used this a lot in the good old pre-computerised machinery days.
