A most descriptive adjective - crooked. The photos provided in this quiz should show a bit of the variety in which "crooked" has been used. In some questions/answers its synonyms have been substituted.

Those who have "lost" their favorite footwear to the jaws of their precious pup may find a bit of justice in a cruel twist, yet this quiz is about dogs (almost) small enough to be "consumed" by slippers. Thanks, to sally0malley for the challenge!

The title represents a nod to the game on "Late Night with David Letterman". I do miss that show! Rather than one set of brothers, the quiz offers you fifteen. In this category remember all questions/answers must be about actual (non-fictional) people.
If you love to read about well-known people then few things could be more gratifying than a book written about one of your favorite TV stars - written by one of your favorite TV stars. Here are some examples.

How could the movie be anything less than magnificent with some of Hollywood's hottest and hunkiest leading men? Not to be trite, but they don't make 'em like that anymore. The men, the music, the magnum opus - the movie - it is magnificent.
