Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which Python's extensive medical training had nothing at all to do with the fact that 37 year old Dennis didn't think much of the 'outdated imperialist dogma that perpetuated the economic and social differences of the society' that he apparently ruled?

Answer: Graham Chapman

A once young Graham Chapman was in fact a Dr. Chapman of the medical variety. Even when he played King Arthur in the 'Holy Grail' he was a former physician.
2. Which of these fine Australian table wines simply does not exist in the 'Wine Sketch?'

Answer: Chateau Le Daflour

'Chateau Le Daflour' may not exist in the sketch, but it's a fine cleanser none-the-less. Eric Idle can also recommend another good fighting wine, "Melbourne Old-and-Yellow, which is particularly heavy, and should be used only for hand-to-hand combat."
3. What name did the boys from the University of Wooloomooloo insist Michael Baldwin, new to the philosophy faculty, be called at all times to prevent confusion?

Answer: Bruce

For the record, I live 'ere, and I've only ever met three Bruces: dad, my brother and my sister.
4. A PFJ member, who most certainly wasn't a JPF member, wanted to be a woman as it was his right as a man. What was his name and what did he insist on being called?

Answer: Stan & Loretta

Reg: "But you can't have babies." Loretta: "Don't you oppress me." Reg: "I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb. Where's the fetus going to gestate? You going to keep it in a box?"
5. Which author wrote 'David Coperfield' in the 'Book Shop Sketch?'

Answer: Edmund Wells

That's Coperfield with one 'p.' Edmund Wells also penned the not so classic 'Grate Expectations.' That's 'G-R-A-T-E Expectations.' Look out for it, terrific read!
6. The church bells were close. They were getting louder! They turned into the lane. The noise was terrifying. They're near the gate... silence... What diminished the bells?

Answer: A ballistic missile

"Did I 'it it?" "Yes, right up the aisle." "Well I've always said, There's nothing an agnostic can't do if he really doesn't know whether he believes in anything or not."
7. Doug and Dinsdale. A smashing pair of blokes. The eldest sons in a family of 16. What was their surname?

Answer: Piranha

Reporter: "What had you done?" Stig: "Er... well he didn't tell me that, but he gave me his word that it was the case, and that's good enough for me with old Dinsy. I mean, he didn't want to nail my head to the floor. I had to insist. He wanted to let me off. He'd do anything for you, Dinsdale would."
8. "We lived for three months in a brown paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six o'clock in the morning, clean the bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down mill for fourteen hours a day week in week out. When we got home, our dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!" What were these living conditions according to the next toff to speak?

Answer: Luxury

"Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at three o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot gravel, go to work at the mill every day for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would beat us around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were LUCKY!"
9. What were Aristotle, Immanual Kant, Plato, Nietzche, Socrates and Descartes when portrayed in a 'Python' song?

Answer: Drunks

All these inebriated philosophers made quite a song. "Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle, Hobbes was fond of his dram, and Rene Descartes was a drunken fart, I drink, therefore I am, yes Socrates, himself is particularly missed. A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed!"
10. Was John Cleese knighted in 1976?

Answer: no

Sir John didn't receive his knighthood in the spring of 1976. It was a lovely, quiet ceremony. The Queen wasn't there, and the Python team weren't watching with envy wondering 'why John and not us?' No one ate Spam, no one was there, in fact it never happened. Sorry.
