When a player crosses the line to score in Rugby games why do they call it a TRY?
In the very first games of rugby you could only score points from 
kicking the ball from a spot over the cross bar. You earned the opportunity to 'Try' and kick for goal by carrying the ball over the 'Try-Line'.
In the late 1800’s this changed and the act of scoring the “TRY” earned points which changed the objective of the game away from just scoring goals.

Why don’t singers have strong accents when they sing?
It's all to do with how the vowels are pronounced. The bulk of the identity of a regional accent lies in the vowels, not the consonants. There are certain ways to form vowels that are common to every sung language. When singing, vowels are articulated more openly than normal and with greater length, so regional distinctions are usually disguised.
Speech and song are controlled by two different areas of the brain and this also makes stuttering disappear when singing.
