Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The tiny stars that appeared in or near the letter P on the cover of Playboy magazine from 1955 to 1979 supposedly meant what?

Answer: How many times Hugh Hefner had slept with that month's centerfold.

The stars were used as a distribution code based on advertising regions for its editions. It was sometime during the 1960s where the legend developed that the stars were a 'code' announcing Hugh Hefner's rating of the current month's centerfold's performance in bed, looks, etc.

2. According to this urban legend, Susan Lucci, who plays Erica on 'All My Children', is supposedly the daughter of which self deprecating comedienne who occasionally guest stars on the soap?

Answer: Phyllis Diller

I don't know when this legend appeared, however, how 'funny' is it that a glamorous soap opera queen would be the daughter of a decidedly unglamourous comedienne?

3. According to this urban legend, what are drug users supposedly leaving in the coin return slots of payphones?

Answer: Hypodermic needles

This legend is false. Refer snopes2.com

4. This true urban legend tells us what the clothing line, FUBU, stands for?

Answer: For us by us

FUBU started in Queens, New York in 1992 by five friends. What makes them different is their clothing line, targeted for the African-American community, is one of the few that are actually owned and operated by African-Americans.

5. Allegedly, Michael Jackson's phone number was contained in the UPC code of which album?

Answer: Thriller

This is false. Refer snopes2.com

6. With whom did Dr. Seuss supposedly attend college? They were members of the same fraternity, even though Seuss was 18 years older.

Answer: Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

Considering that Dr. Seuss was 18 years the senior of Kurt Vonnegut, or by a simple search on the Internet on both men, would show that they didn't come anywhere near attending the same school, and I've never read anywhere that they'd ever met.

7. Which credit card company is supposedly principally owned by Osama Bin Laden?

Answer: Citibank

This is not true, however a Saudi prince holds 5 percent of stock in Citibank. Another urban legend insists that Osama Bin Laden owns the beverage company, Snapple!

8. Allegedly at an MTV music award show Lauryn Hill said she'd rather see babies starve (or some other variation) than have who buy her albums?

Answer: White people

There's no proof this ever happened.

9. According to this urban legend, which extremist group supposedly owns Marlboro?

Answer: Ku Klux Klan

This one began in the 1980s but is false.

10. According to this legend, NASA spent millions of dollars developing what that would work in outer space when the Soviets solved the same problem by simply using pencils?

Answer: Astronaut pen

Fisher created the 'Fisher Space Pen' which took the place of pencils in space. Pencils were too dangerous because the point could break at any time and points and shavings flying about aimlessly in zero gravity could cause technical difficulties. Ever seen Homer Simpson in space?
