Thematic Furniture Trivia Questions

1. Who sang about "The Man In The Mirror" on his 1987 "Bad" album?

From Quiz
Trivia Reflections

Answer: Michael Jackson

"Man In The Mirror" was Jackson's fourth single from "Bad" and like the three previous releases ("I Just Can't Stop Loving You", "Bad", "The Way You Make Me Feel") it reached number one on the American charts. One of the songwriters for "Man In The Mirror" was Siedah Garrett, with whom Jackson performed the duet "I Just Can't Stop Loving You".

2. Each step, on a normal staircase, is made of two parts, but what are they called?

From Quiz How Many More Stairs?

Answer: Tread and Riser

The tread is part of the step that you place your foot on and the riser is the vertical piece below it. In open stairs, the riser is omitted, leaving just the tread attached to a frame called a stringer.

3. In which palace would you expect to see the famous Hall of Mirrors?

From Quiz Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall

Answer: Versailles

The Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles is 73 meters long. 357 mirrors are framed in the 17 arches opposite the windows, reflecting the marble pillars and statuary, gold columns and crystal chandeliers. Work on the huge room started in 1678 and went on for six years. At that time mirrors were very high-end luxury items and to have so many large ones in one hall added to the extreme opulence of the palace. After World War One, the peace treaty, known as the Treaty of Versailles, was signed here on 28 June 1919. Today the hall is used by the French government for official state occasions, such as banquets in honour of foreign heads of state.

4. "The Secret of the Old Clock" was the first-ever mystery in which long-running series of books for girls?

From Quiz Clocks that Never Really Were, 4th Hour

Answer: Nancy Drew

The first Nancy Drew mystery was published in 1930 and ran to 175 volumes before being remade into another series ("The Nancy Drew Files") which ran 124 titles. The books were ostensibly written by Carolyn Keene but this is a nom de plume for a succession of ghostwriters. The first was Mildred Wirt Benson who wrote to plot outlines provided by publisher Edward Stratemeyer.

5. Which Mother Goose rhyme contains the lines "The mouse ran up the clock; The clock struck one, and down he run"?

From Quiz Clocks that Never Really Were, 3rd Hour

Answer: Hickory Dickory Dock

Children's verse unattributable to any other source is often credited to Mother Goose, an unknown and fictitious author. Her name is a sort of shorthand for the oral tradition. The earliest recorded printed version of "Hickory Dickory Dock" is in "Tommy Thumb's Pretty Song Book" (London: 1744).

6. In Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," which character keeps looking at his pocket watch and fussing about how late he is?

From Quiz Clocks that Never Really Were, 2nd Hour

Answer: The White Rabbit

In the book, the White Rabbit says "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!" In the Walt Disney's 1951 movie, he says "I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date! No time to say hello, goodbye! I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!"

7. Which dystopian novel by George Orwell begins "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen"?

From Quiz Clocks that Never Really Were, 1st Hour

Answer: 1984

Since most clocks which sound the hours follow twelve with one, the effect created by a clock striking thirteen in Orwell's "1984" is unnerving. The underlying sense is that, if one cannot rely upon the clock to tell the truth, probably no other authoritative source is reliable, either. Or there is the riddle recalled from childhood: "What time is it when the clock strikes thirteen?" The answer is "Time to get a new clock!"

8. In the 1983 movie "A Christmas Story," The Old Man (Ralphie's father) wins a lamp as a "major award." In what shape is it?

From Quiz Lamps That Never Really Were

Answer: a woman's leg

The "major award" arrives in a box marked "FRAGILE" and "THIS SIDE UP." The old man, assuming it must be from Italy, insists that the first word be pronounced "frah-JEE-lay" which he claims to be the Italian pronunciation. The lamp is in the shape of a woman's leg, wearing black fish-net stockings.

9. "The Doors" was a rock band featuring which artist?

From Quiz The Password Code is Door

Answer: Jim Morrison

Jim Morrison died of heart failure in a bathtub in Paris in 1971. He is buried in Pere Lachaise Cemetery. Jim was an intelligent, well-read and bizarre individual and gained notoriety for his drinking, drug use and objectionable behavior; he spent some time in jail. Morrison's love of reading and his perusals of existentialist literature made him a charismatic figure on stage and a great writer of poetry and lyrics. After Morrison's death the remaining members of The Doors, an American rock band that played everything from psychedelic rock to blues, jazz and hard rock. continued playing as a trio until disbanding in 1973. They were: Ray Manzarek on keyboard, John Densmore on drums, and Robby Krieger on guitar. The Doors released eight albums between 1967 - 1971, Only one of these failed to make the top ten Billboard list. They garnered 21 gold, 14 platinum and 5 multi-platinum album awards in the U.S. In 1993, The Doors were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

10. Which royal animal would you be riding if you were using a seat known as howdah?

From Quiz Lie Down on the Couch

Answer: Elephant

A howdah was used by erstwhile royals in India while riding elephants during hunting or while engaged in war. The seat is fitted with a canopy to provide shade and protection from the elements.

11. The classic dystopian film "A Clockwork Orange" was directed by whom?

From Quiz Just Like Clockwork!

Answer: Stanley Kubrick

They spend their time drinking drugged milk, stealing, beating up people, and speaking 'nadsat' a modern language comprised mostly of Cockney English and Russian. In their hedonistic world there appear to be no consequences. When Alex is sentenced to fourteen years in prison for murder, he volunteers for aversion therapy to reduce his sentence. He is conditioned to react to his favorite piece of music, "The Ninth Symphony" by Ludwig Von, by getting nauseated and frightened, rather than violent and aroused.
