Answer: Mississippi

Kids have been telling this one for as long as I remember. Mississippi not only has four S's but it also has four I's (eyes). A potato has eyes but a couch potato, that is, someone who hangs out on the couch eating potato chips, watching TV, only has two eyes. A cactus may have needles, which have eyes, but the needles or thorns on a cactus have no holes like a sewing needle does. Maybe a Martian has four eyes, who knows, humanoid Martians are fictional. And besides the option was the whole planet Mars, not a Martian.

Answer: Clover

Legend says that each leaf of a four-leaf clover represents something significant. These are faith, hope, love and luck. Four-leaf clovers are not easy to find in a patch of clover considering there is approximately ten thousand three-leaf clover per one four-leaf clover. In the earlier times of Ireland, Druids believed that carrying a shamrock (four-leaf clover) helped them see evil spirits approaching. For them, it was believed that there was a magical protection from the shamrock and that it also warded off bad luck.

From Quiz A Four-midable Quiz

Answer: Boston Red Sox

The "curse" is a superstition that was created from the failure of the Red Sox to win a World Series during the period 1918-2004 and is said to have its roots in the Red Sox selling Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees in 1919. Up to this point the Red Sox had been one of the most successful franchises in the USA. In the 2004 American League Championships they were down 3-0 to the Yankees and it looked like the curse had come back to bite them yet again. They rallied to beat the Yankees and would then go on to sweep the St Louis Cardinals in the 2004 World Series. The documentary was created as part of ESPN's "30 For 30" series of presentations that was launched in October of 2009.

Answer: Kirin

Four Roses was created by the Rose family in 1888. Rufus Rose, his brother Origen, and two of their sons started distilling bourbon in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. In 1943, the company was bought by the international concern Seagram, and later on sold to Diageo. Both Seagram and Diageo concentrated on blended Four Roses bourbon, but the subsequent owner Kirin moved away from this mass product and back to the ancient recipes of straight bourbon. Honda, Mitsubishi and Nissan are Japanese concerns known for their automobile production. Bourbon and cars don't mix really well.

Answer: Mammals

Most mammals, being warm-blooded, have hearts with four chambers. Birds (while not being mammals) are also warm-blooded and have the same type of heart. Insects can be said to have a "heart" only in the most rudimentary sense, as they have no red blood cells or a closed circulatory system. Reptiles and amphibians are cold-blooded. They usually have three-chambered hearts. Crocodilians (perhaps because of their evolutionary relationship to birds) are an exception. They have four-chambered hearts, which in some ways are superior to mammalian hearts.

From Quiz On All Fours

Answer: famine

"When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, 'Come and see!' I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, 'A quart of wheat for a day's wages...'" Revelation 6:5-6 (NIV). Interpreted meaning that it will cost a day's wages just to feed yourself because food will be so scarce. Imagine having to pay a day's wages for a loaf of bread! The white horseman is generally accepted to mean a symbol for the Antichrist, the rider on the red horse is, of course, symbolic of war. The pale horseman represents death.

Answer: The Gang of Four

Known as the Gang of Four, these four individuals, including Jiang Qing, Mao Zedong's third wife, were tried for the crimes of the Chinese Cultural Revolution following Mao's death. Many Chinese signify the Gang of Four by holding their hands out, fingers and thumb spread.

Answer: Ivan Drago

Ivan Drago was the monster who quickly destroyed Apollo Creed. Played by Dolph Lundgren, who is actually a Swedish actor, the character Ivan Drago is written to showcase athletic Soviet superiority. On the American side, Apollo Creed does everything he can to be obnoxiously American. The movie epitomizes life in the USA during the 1980s when the fear of the Soviet Union was always lurking in the shadows. Ivan Vanko is one of the villains in "Ironman 2" and Ivan Danko is an Arnold Schwarzenegger character in the film "Red Heat". Of course, Ivan the Terrible was an actual real life Russian and he was well...terrible!

From Quiz Four-Sight

Answer: They wear glasses

The phrase "four-eyes" was coined sometime in the late 1800s as a derogatory description of someone who wore glasses. The intention behind the insult itself isn't exactly defined aside simply pointing out that someone is wearing glasses. It's possible that it means the person has an extra set of eyes, ergo four eyes. Or, it could mean that person has two distinct sets of vision or it could mean that the person has "fore-eyes", that is, eyes in front of their eyes.

Answer: Mark Wahlberg

The movie, which also stars Tyrese Gibson, Andre Benjamin and Garrett Hedlund, sees the four brothers come together after the death of their mother. What appeared to be a robbery gone wrong turns out to be a professional "hit" on their mother that is part of a major cover-up. The film performed well at the box office but the critical responses to it were subdued. This is due, in part, to the ultra violence action depicted in it.

From Quiz Four - An Interesting Number

Answer: Aimee McPherson

All these persons have founded or contributed to founding a "new" Christian denomination. Aimee Semple McPherson (1890-1944) was a Pentecostal evangelist. In 1922, she commented on the vision by Ezekiel (Ezekiel 1:4-28) of four creatures: a man, a lion, an ox and an eagle. These four creatures symbolize, according to some theologians, the four Evangelists. McPherson saw in these creatures four aspects of Christ: the man symbolizes Christ the Saviour, the lion stands for Christ the Baptiser, the ox represents Christ carrying the burden of sin, and the eagle represents Christ the future King. This sermon also gave the basis of the belief that the new denomination, the Foursquare Church, is founded upon. Fox (1624-1661) founded the Society of Friends, better known under the moniker "Quakers". Ammann (1656-1730) was a Swiss Anabaptist leader. He is considered the founder of the Amish denomination. Smith (1805-1844) founded the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a cult better known as the Mormons.

As for human uses, other than gemstones, beryllium is used to make cell phones and missiles. Beryllium dust can be toxic if inhaled.
