Mixed 20 Questions Trivia Questions

1. Benny Hill was a British comedian. He died one day after the death of what other British comedian?

From Quiz
Pick n' Mix: Part TWELVE

Answer: Frankie Howerd

Alfred Hawthorne "Benny" Hill (1924-1922) was born in Southampton, Hampshire, England. He was known for his slapstick and crude comedy, portrayed in his comedy sketch show, "The Benny Hill Show" which ran from 1955-1989. The show was criticized due to accusations of degrading women, however Benny Hill explained that the men chasing and making fools of themselves over these women, were actually the butt of the joke. Hill suffered a heart attack in 1992, but he refused bypass treatment. A week after his heart attack he had kidney failure and died aged 68 on 20 April 1992 in Teddington, South London. Frankie Howerd (1917-1992) was born Francis Alick Howard in York, England. He received an OBE in 1977. Like Benny Hill, Frankie Howerd had his own show, "The Frankie Howerd Show" which ran in Canada in 1976 for one season. Howerd had become afflicted with a virus due to his time in the Amazon around 1991. He suffered from breathing issues and died aged 75 on 19 April 1992. He had been speaking to an agent about new concept for a new show two hours before he was discovered dead.

2. ANIMALS: What is the only species of mongoose smaller than a meerkat?

From Quiz Nothing Difficult is Ever Easy

Answer: Dwarf

The common dwarf and the Ethiopian dwarf are mainly found in Africa. The two overlap, but the common dwarf mongoose covers more area.

3. Animals - When a skin and drawing of an Australian animal was sent back to Europe at the end of the eighteenth century it was rejected by scientists as a hoax. Which animal was it?

From Quiz Let's Talk About Rejects

Answer: Platypus

The platypus has a beak like a duck, feet like an otter and a tail like a beaver. The European scientists concluded that it was a mammal, but, never having seen anything like it previously, thought that it was a hoax made from parts of several different creatures. Although, not surprisingly, they failed to find the seams where it would have been joined together. The platypus is a monotreme, a mammal which lays eggs rather than giving birth to live young, although the baby feeds on its mother's milk after birth. The animal has no teats, so the milk oozes through pores on the skin and is lapped up by the youngster. Any description of the animal's behaviour would probably have added to the hoax theory, rather than dispelled it.

4. ANIMALS. To which type of animals are okapis--known for striped legs--most closely related?

From Quiz We All Have Questions

Answer: Giraffes

Although the black and white striping on the legs of an okapi look like a zebra, it is actually most closely related to the giraffe (both are found in the same Family). The okapi can be found in central Africa. The okapi is a diurnal animal and a herbivore. Someone in the group came up with this question.

5. The Pastry War was fought between France and which country?

From Quiz Pick n' Mix: Part TEN

Answer: Mexico

After Mexico had gained independence from Spain in 1821, there was understandably political unrest and tension within Mexico. Clashes between the Mexican government's forces and those rebelling against them often meant damage to property. One of these was a bakery belonging to a French pastry chef known as Monsieur Remontel. Monsieur Remontel was not impressed when his bakery was heavily damaged during one of the skirmishes. He approached the Mexican government to seek compensation for this, and they were unhelpful. Incensed by this, Monsieur Remontel contacted King Louis Philippe I of France for assistance. Other French citizens in Mexico had also complained about their treatment and the French demanded that Remontel be compensated 60,000 pesos (despite his bakery being valued at around 1,000 pesos). This was a huge sum of money at the time and the Mexican government refused. When Mexican president Anastasio Bustamante would not pay, the French responded with naval blockades around ports along the Gulf of Mexico by 1838. Mexico declared war on France, and the Pastry War lasted around four months between 1838-1839.

6. The Cardiff Giant was an archaeological hoax that took place in which country?

From Quiz Pick n' Mix: Part NINE

Answer: United States

The Cardiff Giant was "discovered" in 1869 in Cardiff, New York. A 10 foot (3 m) figure, it was reported to be a "petrified man" although it was not. The Cardiff Giant was concocted by cigar maker and get-rich-quick enthusiast, George Hull. Hull was an atheist and found himself in an argument during a business trip to Iowa with some Christians about the Bible, and whether giants had ever walked the Earth. Hull was inspired by this argument, and decided to create a fake giant himself in order to prove how easy it would be to fool people. Hull made the "giant" out of a five-ton block of gypsum he had ordered, sent it to a stone cutter who agreed to keep the secret and buried it in a pit. Workmen were hired to dig the pit in Cardiff, New York, with rumours spread by Hull about a "petrified man" and news began to spread with people coming from far to see the so called discovery. They wedged the hoax under roots to give the illusion that it had been buried for hundreds of years. Hull rubbed the giant with acid to make it look ancient, weathered and vintage in colour, and even slammed pins into the gypsum's surface to give the illusion of human skin pores. He spent almost $3,000 on his creation. The hoax got so out of hand that P. T. Barnum offered $50,000 for what he thought was a genuine giant. The hoax did not fool everyone however, with several geologists at the time proclaiming that the giant was a statue, with notable Yale geologist, Othniel Charles Marsh, declaring it "of very recent origin, and a most decided humbug." By 1870 the giant was subject to mockery, and correct accusations of fakery. Hull had made over $20,000 from his fakery by this time however, and tried to cash in on his new found way of money making, burying a fake 7-foot-tall giant with a tail in Colorado. He died in 1902, and was reportedly still proud of tricking the world albeit briefly. The "giant" is now an exhibit in the Farmers' Museum in Cooperstown, New York.

7. The detrusor muscle is found within which organ of the human body?

From Quiz Pick n' Mix: Part EIGHT

Answer: Bladder

The walls of the bladder in the human body are mainly composed of detrusor muscle, and work to remove urine when it contracts, providing the bladder with the ability to stretch in reaction to urine appearing within it, similarly relaxing to store it. The detrusor muscle is a smooth muscle, and works in unison with the internal urethral sphincter, with the combination of urethral sphincter relaxation and detrusor muscle contraction resulting in urination. Damage to the detrusor muscle can lead to incontinence, urinary retention or a painful mixture of both. If left untreated, irregularities of the detrusor muscle can lead to a damaged upper urinary tract.

8. Cartoon character Yosemite Sam was first voiced by Mel Blanc. Despite voicing other parts in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" (1988) he did not voice Yosemite Sam. Who did?

From Quiz Pick n' Mix: Part SEVEN

Answer: Joe Alaskey

Joe Alaskey (1952-2016) was mainly known for his talent in his impressions of Looney Tunes characters. He did however voice other cartoons, taking over the voice of Grandpa Lou Pickles in Nickelodeon's children's cartoon, "Rugrats" when the original voice of this character, David Doyle, died in 1997. Mel Blanc, despite voicing Yosemite Sam for decades (since the 1940s), could not voice him as well as he would have liked by the time "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was released in theatres in 1988 - Blanc was in his 70's at the time, and Yosemite Sam's voice had drained him even in his youth. He first created the voice of Yosemite Sam by screaming at the top of his voice, inspired by a road rage incident he had taken part in that day. Because of the strain on his throat, Blanc made sure to record all of Yosemite Sam's dialogue at the end of the recording session, so that his voice would not be hoarse for other parts, and so he could rest his throat overnight. Joe Alaskey filled in as Yosemite Sam during "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" making Blanc one of the very few voice actors to work alongside their replacement in their lifetime.

9. Sisyphus is a character in Greek mythology who binds which god in chains?

From Quiz Pick n' Mix: Part SIX

Answer: Thanatos

After Sisyphus had greatly displeased Zeus, Zeus ordered Thanatos, the god of death, to bind Sisyphus in Tartarus, an abyss used for the prison and punishment of the wicked, and jail of of the Titans. Sisyphus pretended to be greatly impressed with Thanatos' chains, and asked to see how they worked. Stunned by this unusual reaction, Thanatos obliged, and Sisyphus then used the chains to bind the god with his own chains. Because of this, while Thanatos was tied up nobody on Earth died. Ares, (the god of war) was particularly furious as this had taken all the fun out of any battles he was involved in. Other gods were annoyed at sacrifices now being impossible for mortals to perform. Ares eventually found Thanatos and freed him. In some versions of the tale, it is Hades who is bound by the chains. Sisyphus' punishment was to be made to push a boulder up a hill for all eternity, only for it to roll back down the hill for him to start pushing it again. This has let to the word "Sisyphean" being used to describe an unending and pointless job.

10. Which French city was author and poet Jules Verne born in?

From Quiz Pick n' Mix: Part FIVE

Answer: Nantes

Known for his 1864 novel, "Journey to the Centre of the Earth," and his later 1872 novel "Around the World in Eighty Days," Jules Verne was born on 8 February 1828, on a small island on the River Loire within the territory of Nantes when it was still a relatively small town. Nantes is around 30 miles (50 km) from the coast of the Atlantic in the north-west of France. Both Duchess Anne of Brittany (1477-1514) and Arthur I, Duke of Brittany (1187-1203), were both in Nantes.

11. Marsili is an undersea volcano located beneath what sea of Italy?

From Quiz Pick n' Mix: Part FOUR

Answer: Tyrrhenian

Named after the polymath Luigi Ferdinando Marsili (1658-1730), Marsili is situated approximately 110 miles (175 km) south of Naples, Campania, Italy. It is 9,800 feet (3,000 m) high and its last eruption is estimated to have been around 1050 BC. The amount of water above the volcano means that lava would not be an immediate danger should it erupt; however, the resulting underwater landslides could disturb a large amount of water, and trigger a tsunami that could devastate Sicily and the south of Italy. The Tyrrhenian Sea is located off Italy's west coast, a marginal sea of the Mediterranean. The sea holds the island of Capri, the island Tiberius and other Roman emperors were fond of.

12. Sabalan is an inactive volcano situated in which country?

From Quiz Pick n' Mix: Part THREE

Answer: Iran

Sabalan is a stratovolcano (also known as a composite volcano) situated in the Ardabil Province in the north-west of Iran. It stands approximately 15,730 feet (4,795 m) high, is the third highest mountain in Iran and the second highest volcano in Iran, after Mount Damavand.

13. Cleeve Hill is the highest point of which county of England?

21. Animals: Why is it commonly believed that dogs can predict earthquakes?

From Quiz Three little words and a question: why?

Answer: Because they can sense ultra-sonic waves and feel magnetic shifts in the Earth.

It is believed that dogs are super-sensitive to feeling the magnetic shifts on Earth. Consequently they feel the earthquake rumblings deep in the earth before any other living being. They can also sense ultra-sonic waves, which break right before an earthquake, and start reacting wildly - which in turn can trigger the attention of us humans and help prevent and prepare for what's to come. Finally, the sixth sense is indeed a fact, that sense being an intuition that alerts them to danger. This last attribute applies not only to "earthquake-like situations" but also to the presence of strangers, for instance, which may represent danger at times.
