Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon had which nickname that sounded very much like what you'd call a sleeping cow?

Answer: Bulldozer

Sharon was a feared commander in the Israeli Army. He was a part of his country's army when it first started, 1948, and participated in most of the major conflicts Israel became embroiled in. These included their War for Independence in 1948, the Qibya Massacre, the Suez War, the Six Day War and the Yom Kippur War.

He once claimed that "even sheep are afraid of me", called his autobiography "The Warrior" and, in March 2001, became Israel's 11th Prime Minister. In March 2006 he suffered a massive stroke which left him in a persistent vegetative state.
2. I was making Rag Pudding (yes there is such a thing) and my recipe called for a kilogram of "cow with no legs". What should my recipe have read?

Answer: Ground Beef

Rag Puddings originated in Oldham in the North West of England. The dish is basically ground beef (minced meat) and onion wrapped in a parcel of suet pastry. This is then boiled or steamed. Traditionally the mixture would get wrapped in muslin cloth before it was cooked, hence its name.
3. Which band, a favourite of cows, had hits during the 1960s and 70s with songs such as "Question", "Isn't Life Strange" and "Go Now"?

Answer: Moody Blues

Moooooo-dy Blues ... get it ... sorry, but I should warn you that the jokes do not get any better. Seriously though, it's been proven that most cows will produce more milk if they listen to music.

The Moody Blues formed in Birmingham, England in 1964 and found early success with their second single "Go Now". The song went to number one on the UK charts and reached the top ten in Billboard's Hot 100. However, it wasn't until 1967 when they released their album "Days of Future Passed" that they were able to make significant inroads into the US market. The album got to number three on the American album charts and spawned the hit singles "Nights in White Satin" and "Tuesday Afternoon".
4. You should never tell secrets to cows because they go in one ear and out the udder. Speaking of one ear, what is the only creature that has one ear?

Answer: Praying Mantis

All animals have ears though in some cases these may be internal and, hence, are not visible. Good examples are the dolphin and crocodile. The mantis is an auditory cyclops with its ear being a 1 mm slit that contains cuticle knobs bearing eardrums at either end.

It has a similar frequency range to that of a bat's echolocation system and it is considered that the mantis will use its hearing primarily as a defence mechanism.
5. Which occupation fills the blank spot in "_____ Street Irregulars", a name for a group of urchins who help out the fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes, from time to time? If you need a hint it's the job that cows are good at because they make pies regularly.

Answer: Baker

The other link is that Sherlock Holmes, created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, was based in Baker Street. The "Baker Street Irregulars" made their first appearance in "A Study in Scarlet" (published in 1887) and were led by a young lad named Wiggins. Wiggins' first name is not revealed. Holmes would pay the boys to keep an ear out for information, chase down clues or run errands for him.

In turn he maintained them with a shilling per day and provided a bonus if any clue should prove to be vital in solving the case.
6. What confection, a caramel candy that used to be encased with chocolate and is produced by The Hershey Company, has a name that could also mean a cow that doesn't produce milk?

Answer: Milk Duds

I suppose you could also call a cow that doesn't produce milk an udder failure.

Nowadays the milk chocolate coating has been replaced by a confection made up of cocoa and vegetable oil. Milk Duds were originally created by F. Hoffman and Company back in 1926 and their intention was to produce a perfectly round sweet. They found it impossible and an employee commented that the candies were duds. The name stuck. Through a series of buyouts and takeovers the product made its way into the hands of Hershey Foods Corporation by 1996.
7. British band Talk Talk released their last album in 1991. I'd like to say that it was called "A Cow With a Sense of Humour" but it wasn't. Using that line as a guide can you identify what the name of Talk Talk's last album was?

Answer: Laughing Stock

Talk Talk had their origins in London in 1981 and were seen as part of the "New Romantic" movement. They gained fame with the release of their 1984 album "It's My Life" which included the singles "Such a Shame" and "It's My Life".

"Laughing Stock" was the band's first (and only) recording after their acrimonious departure from record label EMI. Lyrically, the album has some strong religious undertones and, unlike their previous works, is described as being dark and claustrophobic.
8. What do you get when you mix a cow with a ghost or, alternatively, what is another name for cold cream?

Answer: Vanishing Cream

Cold Cream is said to have been created by a Greek physician from the second century called Galen and is generally used to smooth out the skin and help in removing make up.

Galen's creation was built on a combination of water and beeswax. Olive oil was added to provide a degree of softness along with rose petals to help improve its scent. Modern formulae do away with the olive oil and incorporate longer lasting ingredients such as alcohol, lanolin and jojoba oils. Hmmmm (he muses to himself) cold cream... is that a result of the farmer having cold hands ... or are the farmer's cold hands the reason the cow jumped over the moon?
9. What do you call the situation when a cow is spying on another cow? The same thing as the title of a 1987 John Badham movie in which Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez spy on a waitress hoping that her boyfriend, an escaped prisoner, will try and make contact.

Answer: Stakeout

It's a little rich using the name John Badham in a bad beef joke quiz.

Dreyfuss and Estevez are two Seattle detectives who get lumbered with the nightshift duty of the stakeout. The waitress is played by Madeleine Stowe and her bad beef boyfriend is played by Aidan Quinn. Things go a little awry when Dreyfuss' character falls for the waitress. Jim Kouf who wrote the screenplay for the movie would go on to win the 1988 Edgar Award for his efforts.
10. My father once told me that cows wear bells because their horns don't work. Cows may not be horn-blowers but Horatio Hornblower was the main character in a series of novels written by which author?

Answer: C.S. Forester

Forester was an English novelist who specialised in writing stories that had nautical themes and a lot of naval battles. Aside from his eleven book series that featured Hornblower he was also responsible for the story of "The African Queen" (published in 1935), which would become the much celebrated John Huston film (1951) that starred Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn. His 1959 novel "Hunting the Bismarck" would become the basis for the 1960 film "Sink the Bismarck".

The Horatio Hornblower series is initially set during the Napoleonic Wars and follows the rather rapid rise of the protagonist from a seasick midshipman to becoming the Admiral of the Fleet, receiving a knighthood and being named First Baron Hornblower.
