Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The 15th century Battle of Bloody Bay was a naval battle that took place off the coast of which country?

Answer: Scotland

The precise date of the Battle of Bloody Bay, between John MacDonald of Islay, the Lord of the Isles and chief of Clan Donald, and his bastard son, Angus Og MacDonald, is unknown, other than it was late 15th century.
What is known, is that although Angus defeated his father and took the title Lord of the Isles, his influence and power were greatly diminished, as he lost a huge number of men and most of his fleet in the battle.
Angus felt the need to engage after his father agreed to assist King Edward IV of England in his plan to invade mainland Scotland. In a cruel twist, Angus was murdered a decade or so after winning the battle, resulting in all of his titles passing to the crown.
The battle is regarded by some historians as the greatest sea battle Scotland has ever seen and by many as being the beginning of the end of the clan system.
The battle site can be found off the coast of Tobermory on the Isle of Mull.
2. Philip Strenger, better known as the Bloody Baron, is one of the house ghosts found at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in JK Rowling's "Harry Potter" series of novels. Which house is the Bloody Baron a member of?

Answer: Slytherin

Nearly Headless Nick is the Gryffindor house ghost, the Fat Friar is Hufflepuff's and the Grey Lady takes on the role for Ravenclaw, leaving the Bloody Baron as the Slytherin ghost.
Strenger became a Hogwarts' ghost following a crime of passion involving Helena Ravenclaw with whom he was madly in love. When she stole her mother's tiara and fled to Albania, Rowena Ravenclaw sent Strenger to find her, knowing his love would not allow him to rest until he had done so.
He located Helena, but when she refused to return with him, in a fit of rage, he murdered her before, overcome with remorse, he turned the blade on himself.
3. The county flower of Northumberland, the bloody crane's-bill, is a member of which genus of plants?

Answer: Geranium

The bloody crane's-bill, also known as the bloody geranium, is native to, and found in, most of Europe.
It is extremely attractive to bumblebees and can be found in abundance on the many cliffs and dunes of Northumberland where, when in full bloom, it provides an eye catching purple carpet.
4. "Your Average Australian Yobbo" (1984) was the debut album from which Antipodean comedian?

Answer: Kevin "Bloody" Wilson

"Your Average Australian Yobbo" (1984) from Kevin "Bloody" Wilson was a top ten hit on the Kent Music Report in Australia and in 1985, he followed it with "Kev's Back (The Return of the Yobbo)" which went top 20, and was the first ever winner of the ARIA Award for "Best Comedy Release".
Wilson is one of the most well known, and most irreverent and non politically correct, comedians to hail from Australia with many of his song titles unable to be mentioned here.
He did however co-write "The Genie In The Bottle" (2007) which was a huge hit on the Australian country charts.
5. A Bloody Mary is a popular vodka-based cocktail, but what is the spirit base in a Bloody Fairy cocktail?

Answer: Absinthe

A Bloody Mary consists of vodka and tomato juice, seasoned with ground black pepper, celery salt, paprika, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco sauce and garnished with a celery stalk and green olives.
The origins of the Bloody Mary are unclear, but it has spawned many variations besides the absinthe-based Bloody Fairy.
When gin is used as a base, the cocktail is usually called a Red Snapper or Ruddy Mary and a Bloody Geisha uses a sake base.
The popular Canadian drink, the Caesar, uses the same vodka base as a Bloody Mary, but utilises Clamato juice instead of tomato juice.
My favourite term is the Australian term for the virgin Bloody Mary, containing no alcohol, simply called a Bloody Shame.
6. "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" is a classic movie line, taken from which 1969 film?

Answer: The Italian Job

"You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!", delivered by Michael Caine in his role as Charlie Croker, was voted favourite film one-liner in a 2003 poll of movie fans.
Tribute was paid to "The Italian Job" by rock band the Stereophonics in the video for their hit, "Pick A Part That's New" (1999). The band played gold guitars and drums, seemingly performing in a bus which was teetering on the edge of a cliff interspersed with much Mini action.
"Hang on a minute, lads - I've got a great idea."
7. "Bloody Jack" (2002) is the first in a series of young adult novels about an eight year old girl by L.A. Meyer. What is the chosen profession of Bloody Jack?

Answer: Sailor

In the novel, set in the 19th century, eight year old Mary Faber, having lost her entire family to disease, is forced to join a gang of street orphans. She quickly befriends the group's leader Rooster Charlie, but on discovering his body after he has been murdered, she is left with few options.
Mary takes Rooster Charlie's clothes, assumes the identity of Jack and joins a ship's crew as cabin boy. On a voyage off the coast of North Africa, the ship engages with a pirate ship, and when sent aboard as part of the boarding party, "Jack" shoots and kills a pirate, earning her the nickname, "Bloody Jack".
"Bloody Jack" (2002) is the first in a series of novels that cover Mary's life and adventures as she matures and are a most entertaining read.
8. The bloody-nosed beetle is an insect native to which continent?

Answer: Europe

The bloody-nosed beetle takes its name from its ability to break thin membranes in its mouth when threatened. This produces a bright red fluid which is foul tasting to any would be predators, and also gives the illusion that the beetle is having a nose bleed.
The bloody-nosed beetle is found in central and southern Europe and is very common in UK and Ireland.
9. The musical, "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" opened on Broadway in 2010 with Benjamin Walker playing the title role. Which other American president did he play in a 2012 fantasy/horror movie?

Answer: Abraham Lincoln

Walker played the title character, President Lincoln, in "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" (2012), a film that also starred Dominic Cooper and Anthony Mackie.
The musical, "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" tells the story of Jackson's presidency, while featuring Jackson as an emo rock star. While on Broadway, the production was nominated for two Tony awards but failed to win, although prior to its Broadway run, it did win Outstanding New Off-Broadway Musical at the Outer Critics Circle Awards.
10. Which film director famously said, "Blondes make the best victims. They're like virgin snow that shows up the bloody footprints."?

Answer: Alfred Hitchcock

Maybe Hitchcock had a point with this quote. After all, who can forget his leading blonde ladies, such as Tippi Hedren, Janet Leigh and Kim Novak?
Leigh starred in "Psycho" (1960) with its famous shower scene, Kim Novak starred in "Vertigo" (1958) and Tippi Hedren was the star of "The Birds" (1963) and "Marnie" (1964).
Hitchcock would seem to have influenced the later crop of directors too, with the Coen brothers choice of Francis McDormand to star in several of their movies, notably "Fargo" (1996) and who could forget the blonde Uma Thurman as the Bride in Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill" (2003) and "Kill Bill 2" (2004)?
Still, even for Hitchcock, I think its kind of a disturbing quote.
