3. In the classic Looney Tunes cartoon "The Rabbit of Seville" Bugs Bunny in female garb asks the hunter Elmer Fudd what he wants with a "wabbit" and sings, "Can't you see that I'm much sweeter?" What is the next line of Bugs's aria, implying in Spanish that he is a small young lady?

Answer: "I'm your little señorita."

In the 1950 cartoon, the events unfold as Elmer Fudd chases Bugs Bunny into the Hollywood Bowl, where an orchestral production of Gioachino Rossini's "The Barber of Seville" is being staged. Bugs begins dressed as the barber and gives Elmer a hilarious grooming, but then changes costume to look like a seductive female version of himself, after which other mayhem ensues as the opera music continues. Michael Maltese is credited with the script, with Chuck Jones directing, and Carl Stalling adapting the music, which follows Rossini's original except for tempo and minor omissions to fit the cartoon's running time of less than eight minutes.

Answer: Schroeder

According to Wikipedia, the only argument he and Charlie Brown ever had was as to whether Beethoven was greater than Davy Crockett.

8. Drive-in theatres, which first appeared in the 1930s, had gained which reputation in the moralistic media by the 1950s?

Answer: Passion pits

Dear me, whatever could they mean? The drive-in was the brain child of American Richard M. Hollingshead Jr. He first tested one out by nailing a screen to some trees in his yard, setting up a projector on the bonnet of his car, and placing a radio behind the screen.

The patent was awarded to him in 1933 and the first drive-in opened in New Jersey that year. Drive-ins were most popular during the 1950s, but that popularity steadily declined from that time with the advent of television in the family home. Sadly, drive-in theatres are very seldom seen now. Only large empty fields remain that were once packed with cars full of lusty patrons engaging in those scandalous passion-pit activities.

The good old media. What it doesn't know, it makes up, or exaggerates out of all proportion.

Question by player Creedy
9. How old was "Mr. Ed", the horse from the TV series, when he died?

10. What clothing choice does artist Yayoi Kusama share with Minnie Mouse?

Answer: Polka dots

Yayoi Kusama wanted to be an artist from the time she was a young girl, but her parents didn't like it. They would tear up any drawings or paintings she made. Yayoi was born in 1929 in Japan and when she was a young girl had a hallucination of a field of flowers speaking to her.

The flowers reminded her of polka dots and that's where the inspiration for her clothing choices and paintings came. When her parents finally relented on her becoming an artist, Yayoi moved to New York in the 1950s. Her art was an inspiration for Andy Warhol. Yayoi once created a room full of polka dots by hanging hundreds of LED colored lights in a mirrored room.
