11. Thomas Edison is widely believed to hold the world's record for patented inventions at 1093. Charles Kettering is widely believed to be number two. Which statement is true about Kettering's patents?

From Quiz Charles Kettering, Inventor

Answer: The inventor of freon refrigeration and quick-drying paint for automobiles held 140 patents.

Among the other inventions used in the incorrect answers, Kettering only invented the printing cash register and leaded gasoline. (The pop-top beverage can was invented by fellow Dayton resident Ermal Fraze.) However, according to "USA Today," in 2005 neither Edison nor Kettering was the top inventor. That honor went to Donald Weder of Highland, Illinois. Quoting from the December 6, 2005 edition of "USA Today," Weder is "a man who, in contrast to the stupendous impact of Edison, has mostly used his inventive powers to give the world better floral arrangements. "This is as deflating as finding out that Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak has been surpassed by a stadium peanut vendor. "Weder, who is still alive and whose family runs floral packaging company Highland Supply, has his name on 1,321 patents. Almost all have to do with items you'd find at a florist."

14. After landing at Ellis Island in New York, nine-year-old Salvatore "Sal" Lucania was diagnosed with which ailment?

From Quiz Mastermind of the Mob: Lucky Luciano

Answer: smallpox

Salvatore Lucania was born November 24, 1897, in Palermo, Italy to Antonio and Rosalia. His father's primary source of income for the six-member family was a low-paying job working in the sulfur pit mines. In 1906, the Lucania's sailed to America and settled in an American-Jewish location in New York City's Lower East Side, known today as, Manhattan's East Village. The affliction of smallpox marked his face with an acne-scarred facial feature. After medical treatment, he returned to normal health, although the scars were distinct for life. In 1929, his Sicilian face was further disfigured after he endured a vicious and brutal attack. Historical reports indicate that Lucania was standing on Sixth Avenue when a limousine drove up and three men forced him in at gunpoint. They severely beat him, stabbed him repeatedly with an ice pick and knife, slashing his face, and then dumped him on a Staten Island beach to die. Lucky lay on the ground unconscious, and woke up nearly an hour later. He struggled to walk for over a mile before he made it to the Tottenville Police Precinct. An officer immediately took him to a nearby hospital, although, all he wanted was for someone to call him a taxi. After he survived the remarkable near-death ordeal, he earned the nickname, "Lucky" Luciano. The cruel attack left him with his renowned droopy right eye. Lucky never provided any names of his attackers, instead, had his own investigation done by Meyer Lansky. Lansky found out that Masseria, also known as, "Joe the Boss", was the one who had ordered the hit on Luciano.

16. What was the name of the music Fela created?

From Quiz Fela Kuti: He Who Carries Death In His Pouch

Answer: Afrobeat

23. Edmund was a giant of a man, and towered over friends and victims alike. How tall was he?

From Quiz Edmund Kemper, Serial Killer

Answer: 6' 9"

Edmund was to eventually tower over people at the height of 6'9". Even so, he was a sullen boy who never got over his parents' divorce, and was afraid of being bullied by other boys. He exhibited strange behavior at an early age, torturing animals and having violent sexual fantasies. Being hard to handle, he was sent to live with his paternal grandparents on their farm. He fantasized about killing his grandmother, and eventually shot her to death. He then shot his grandfather in what he deemed an act of mercy to spare him finding his wife murdered. For this he was sent to Atascadero mental facility at age 15. He was released several years later and moved back in with his mother although the doctors did not approve of this. Not long after, he began picking up hitchhikers and concocting his methods of what he would do to the ones he would eventually kill. On May 7, 1972, he picked up two hitchhikers and murdered, beheaded and dismembered them. This is a pattern he would use for the rest of his crimes, often keeping the heads in the trunk of his car so he could gaze upon them. His spree ended with the murder of his mother (who he thought was a terrible nag) and her friend. Beginning with his grandparents, he would eventually kill a total of ten people, including six hitchhikers. He was sent to Folsom prison with a life sentence.
