Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. It makes perfect sense to switch to an e-reader, environmentally speaking. You know, saving waste and stuff? They're like iPods, except that you buy books in electronic format instead of MP3s. So tell me, which one of these three items is not an e-reading device?
2. If you're like me, you'd like to spend your evenings sitting down to a good, Gothic Victorian novel...or maybe that's just me. Anyway, in Charlotte Bronte's novel "Jane Eyre", Mr. Rochester has parental authority of a ward, a little French girl named Adele, whose governess is Jane Eyre, the titular character. Well, instead of Adele, suppose her name was Adelie. Who or what would then be under the watchful eye of Mr. Rochester and Jane Eyre at the Thornfield estate?
3. When reading the Bible, I try to imagine what Biblical folks looked like, dressed like, or how they spoke (for one thing, no one spoke English; that much I know). Now I want you to tell me this: which Biblical character would benefit most from laser hair removal?
4. One of my favorite things in the world is opera. I love the majesty, the music, and reading the subtitles while simultaneously trying to watch the performance. Well, let's say that actress Carmen Electra decides to play the lead role of Carmen in Georges Bizet's "Carmen". What would her role be in this little gem of opera comique?
5. Let's say that Lady Gaga came out with a new song titled "Corn This Way". I know that sounds weird, but there's more. Say for example that a major American university wanted to use it for its fight song. What university could most likely adopt this new single with the word "corn" as a fight song?
6. A smart phone can be a great thing. It can be used as a GPS device, an e-reader, a phone book, an MP3 player, and most importantly, a purveyor of time wasting game applications. Which one of these is not a game app for smart phones?
7. For the Trekkies out there, here's a question just for you. Instead of being a Vulcan, let's say that Mr. Spock was made out of vulcanized rubber. Which of these statements would be true about him?
8. "Wives and Daughters" by Elizabeth Gaskell is a great piece of Victorian literature; read it, it's a good book. Now let's kick things up a notch and say that the book is made into a modern day sitcom. What profession would Molly Gibson's father most likely have, in order to stay true to the original novel?
9. Okay folks, brace yourself for this question. Which one of these is not a brand of breakfast cereal (or a company that makes cereal)?
10. Okay ladies and gents, final question. We all know that Japan's nickname is "The Land of the Rising Sun". But tell me this: which one of these countries is known as "The Land of the Midnight Sun"?
