Jim Marshall did this in 1964 against the San Francisco 49ers. Fortunately, the Vikings still won the game.

Bananas are not nutty.

6. Fumes from what element caused many hatters to go "mad"?

"Mad Hatter Syndrome" is caused by over-exposure to Mercury. Lewis Carroll knew this well when he created the character of the "Mad Hatter" in the book "Alice in Wonderland.

Einstein developed the general and special theories of relativity. He was also awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921.

8. Whose autopsy uncovered a brain tumor the day after he killed 14 people in Austin, Texas?

Answer: Charles Whitman

Whitman left a suicide note asking to be autopsied. An Eagle Scout at the age of 12, it's still debated today whether this ex-marine's actions were caused by the tumor. Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys had a tongue-in-cheek song called "The Ballad of Charles Whitman."

9. What is the title of the song with these lyrics: "Wild man's world is cryin' in pain, what you gonna do when everybody's insane?"

10. My invisible friend Fred has decided that he does not like my quiz. From what mental illness am I most likely suffering?

Answer: Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a disorder which usually manifests itself with delusions and hallucinations. Schizophrenia should not to be confused with dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as multiple personality disorder.
