Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who played 'Trapper' John McIntyre in the movie "MASH" and was at one time married to Barbra Streisand?

Answer: Elliot Gould

Elliot Gould's sold vacuum cleaners, danced in chorus lines, starred in hit films like "MASH" and flops such as "Dead Men Don't Die". Along the way he was married to Barbra Streisand.

Answer: All of these

Mudd was known to favor slavery and was, in fact, a slave owner. At his trial examples of his harsh treatment of his slaves was presented. Witnesses related that he had shot one of his male slaves. Dr. Mudd claimed that John Wilkes Booth was a stranger to him; and when shown a picture of Booth, indicated that he had never before seen and did not recognize the man in the picture. One man testified that he had seen Mudd walking with Booth in Washington and heard Mudd call out to one of the other conspirators by name. An attorney testified that Mudd accidentally came into his Washington hotel room and apologized, saying that he had been looking for a man named Booth.

Another witness related the frequent visits of one of Booth's co-conspirators to Mudd's home.

3. Put the word that is mispelled in this sentence in the blank (spelling the word correctly): plagiarize, commitment, Philippians, antidisestablishmentarianism.

Answer: Misspelled

I have misspelled plagiarize, commitment, and Philippians in the process of my quiz making, the latter two words repeatedly.

4. Tom Stoppard's play "Travesties" was set in Zurich. Both Vladimir Lenin and Dadaist Tristan Tzara were characters. On what earlier play was the plot of "Travesties" based?

Answer: The Importance of Being Earnest

"Travesties" was patterned after Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest". In 1916, the Caf� Voltaire was the gathering place for the early Dadaists and was, coincidentally, across the street from the apartment where Lenin was busily planning his future revolution.

5. A mynah bird appeared in Mickey Mouse newspaper comics starting in 1949. He also appeared in Italian drawn Mickey Mouse comics. What was his name?

Answer: Ellsworth

Goofy is seen purchasing Ellsworth from a pet store in a 1949 Sunday comic strip. Ellsworth, perhaps because of his ability to talk, did not remain a mere pet but evolved into an independent, albeit obscure, character in his own right.

Answer: Ultimate Frisbee

In 1993 the Macho Cows hosted the first "Udder Bowl". "Lawn Party" won in 2003; The "Gothic Super Heroes" prevailed in 2002.

7. Susan the three-toed Sloth has one toe sliced off. How many toes does she have left?

Answer: 11

Three toes each extremity X four extremity minus one sliced off = (4X3)-1 = 11. I marvel as I try to imagine how the zoologists obtained the information that "Animal Diversity Web" presents on three toed sloths. From the genus Bradypus, three toed sloths live in trees of the rainforest coming down about once weekly (average 8 days) to defecate.

They eat mostly leaves. From what dastardly experiment, I wonder, comes the confident assertion that three toed sloths are good swimmers?

Answer: 42 mph

The Tacoma narrows bridge was built on Puget Sound, near Tacoma, in the state of Washington, USA. On November 7, 1940, a wind measured at only 42 mph set up oscillations in the Tacoma Narrows Bridge that led to the bridge's destruction. It is believed that the modest wind set up oscillations that matched those of the internal structure of the bridge resulting in the large amplitude oscillations that destroyed the bridge.

Answer: The Dave Clark Five

Dave Clark was drummer, lead singer and manager for the band. Dave Clark was also unusual in maintaining ownership of the bands masters.

10. "Diggers", "Truckers" and "Wings" are the three books that make up Terry Pratchett's "Bromeliad Trilogy". In the context of Pratchett's trilogy, to what does "Bromeliad" refer?

Answer: Flowers and frogs

Pratchett's "Bromeliad Trilogy" tells of the travels of a tribe of "nomes". Like Pratchett's other children's books, adults can enjoy the "Bromeliad" as much if not more than children.
