This Quiz is Not About Beanie Babies

Answer: Zeus

Zeus was known as the greatest god of all gods, and therefore he was the king over all gods. He had four symbols that represented him, the most well-known being that of the lightning bolt. Also representing him were the bull, eagle, and oak. Zeus performed several erotic "deeds", which caused him to become father to many gods and goddesses. Some of these included Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Hermes, Persephone, Dionysus, Perseus, Hercules, Helen, and Minos.

Although this quiz is "not" about Beanie Babies, I felt compelled to mention them in this quiz anyway. Zeus is also the name of a Beanie Baby. He is a moose that sits like most Beanie bears. He has very large and bright orange antlers.

Answer: Bubbly

Leona Lewis sang "Bleeding Love", Miley Cyrus performed "7 Things" and Natasha Bedingfield was responsible for "Unwritten". Colbie Caillat launched "Coco," her first album, in May of 2007. "Bubbly" was the main single she used to launch her album. It became a great success.

Bubbly is also the name of a Beanie Baby. This is a Beanie Baby bear, which sits like most other bears, in the upright position, like a human sitting on the floor. He is covered in blue and white fabric. The blue covers most of the body, but the white is the shine on the bubbles that cover his entire body.

Answer: Nathaniel Hawthorne

Nathaniel Hawthorne was born in 1804, in July. He died just two months short of his 60th birthday, in May of 1864. Throughout his short lifetime he wrote several great masterpieces. These include "The Scarlet Letter", "The Blithedale Romance" and "A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys". According to many, his best work, however, which even beat out "The Scarlet Letter", was "A House of Seven Gables."

Hawthorne is also a Beanie Baby bear. He is fuzzy all over and brown. His name is not Nathaniel, however, but since his name is Hawthorne, he fits the quiz.

Answer: Dimples

Dimples are indents on the cheeks, that are usually only visible when one smiles. However, sometimes they are visible before someone smiles, if the dimples are pronounced enough. Dimples can also form on the chin. Golf balls are commonly known to have dimples. The average ranges from 250-450 dimples, some have 500 dimples. The record amount of dimples on a single golf ball was 1,070. There is only one single brand of golf ball that has an odd number of dimples, with 333 dimples. Other than that, they are always even numbered. Dimples in the ball actually help the ball travel through the air!

Dimples is, of course, also the name of a Beanie Baby. And while all these may have been Beanie Babies, only Dimples is something found on both the face and a golf ball. In this case, it is yet another Beanie Baby bear. He is a light tan all over, and has a yellow smiley face on his chest.

Answer: Banjo

The banjo is a round instrument similar to a ukulele. It has a round body where the strings are plucked, with a large arm where you hold it and stick your fingers to change the sound. It has the appearance of a small and round guitar. Some banjos can have only three strings, and some older versions had six strings. However, four-stringed and five-stringed banjos are the most common.

The $10 Australian note has a picture of an Australian Icon - poet Andrew Barton Patterson - who was nicknamed "Banjo". - Thanks to MarchHare007 for that information!

Banjo is also a Beanie Baby. He is a dog that lies down like Darling, Cutesy, Fitz, and Cassie. He wears a red collar, and is very soft and fuzzy.

Answer: Almond

Almonds are technically not nuts at all. In fact, they are considered to be, botanically, drupes. Drupes include almonds, coffee, mangoes, and olives. Almonds, interestingly, have a very high nutritional value. In just one serving, you will receive 25% of your daily calcium, 30% of your zinc, and 74% of your magnesium intake for the day! However, nuts are high in fat, so eating them in moderation is a good thing. While the fats are good for you from that of an almond, too much is not a good idea. It is like wine. A little is good, but too much is bad!

While all of these are Beanie Babies, Almond is the only one that fits all the descriptions. Almond is a tan bear that sits more like Ewey, Aurora, and Congo than a regular bear, like Clubby or Pappa.

Answer: Avalanche

An avalanche might be triggered by several things. If there is a large amount of snow on the ground, on a steep angle, that proves to be a hazard. If a snowboarder, or a dog, or anything else, moves over certain parts of the snow, it will trigger the avalanche and the giant mass of snow breaks off from the mountain. Gravity does the rest. It is said that swimming using big motions will keep you above the snow, and prevent you from being buried. If you ever go snowboarding or skiing, it is best to have a loud device in hand in case of an avalanche. This will allow others to hear exactly where you are and unbury you.

Avalanche is also the name of a Siberian Husky Beanie Baby. He sits like Cutesy, Darling, and Cassie. He is gray and white, like the average Siberian Husky is.

Answer: Kirby

Kirby is the main character of a video game series with the same name. The first game in the series was "Kirby's Dream Land." It was released in 1992. Several video games had been released since, including "Kirby's Dream Land 2" in 1995. Animals that help Kirby along his journey include Rick, a hamster, Coo, an owl, and Kine, a sunfish. Kirby can combine his strengths with these animals to earn special abilities he can use for a short while.

Of course, Kirby is also a Beanie Baby's name. Kirby is a white terrier with a red collar. He stands up like Schnitzel does, although he isn't as sturdy, so it is easier for him to sit down. He is very velvety and soft.

Answer: Mandy

Mandy was sung by both Barry Manilow and the Jonas Brothers, and it was also a song made by Irving Berlin in 1919. Barry Manilow first sang "Mandy" in 1974, and it was remade by Westlife in 2003, and it was remade by several artists throughout the years. It was originally written as "Brandy" in 1971, and was sung this way in the United Kingdom. It was changed to "Mandy" so people would stop thinking it was another song titled "Brandy." "Mandy" was also a song by the Jonas Brothers in 2006. Not to be confused with Manilow's version, it is nothing like it. It was released on their very first album, "It's About Time". Other songs on this album included "7:05," "Time for Me to Fly", "Underdog", "I Am What I Am" and "Year 3000" As Nick Jonas' voice deepened, the Jonas Brothers had a year of inactivity. They came back in 2007 with full force, and quickly became known by many as the greatest band of all time.

Mandy is also the name of a Beanie Baby. Mandy is a panda that sits like most bears, like Clubby and Pappa. Like most pandas, she is black and white, and likes bamboo.

Answer: Chuckles

All of these terms refer to laughing. Chuckles, however, is also a candy bar. While it may be known as a candy "bar", it is actually not a candy bar at all. In fact, it is more like Starburst. They come in five different flavors; cherry, orange, lemon, lime, and licorice. Each package has one of each of these flavors.

Chuckles is, of course, a Beanie Baby as well. This Beanie Baby is a hedgehog. Hedgehogs are prickly, but not like porcupines! Sometimes, hedgehogs will click at you, which means they are threatening you, they are scared, or are hungry. It could, though, be a combination of the three. Maybe they are hungry, went to you for food, you looked at them funny, so they were scared, and begin threatening you so you will leave them alone. Poor hedgehog!
