Question 1 of 10
1. The first stop on our rounds is Animals. There has been a complaint about a dog running loose, and when I find him he turns out to be a pit bull terrier. He is classed as a dangerous dog. Unfortunately, he doesn't like uniforms much and sinks his teeth into my leg. All I need is to hear the owner saying, "He's only playing, he won't hurt you".

Any dog in the UK classed as a "dangerous dog" must be what in public?
Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. We now make our way to Celebrities. No, we don't patrol Brain Twist, they have their own strange rules in there. You wouldn't believe some of the parties they have in there; rowdy doesn't even start to describe it. I do hate it though when someone says "Oh, you must be the stripogram".

Which celebrity, founder of "Playboy" magazine, was noted for the parties he gave?
Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. Ah well, forward into Entertainment. You'd think it would be quiet in here, but you wouldn't believe what some of those beauty queens get up to. I do wish, though, that they wouldn't ask me if my head goes all the way up to the point in my helmet.

Who was the first Indian to be crowned Miss World?
Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. Next we patrol the For Children area. Terrible little criminals some of them are, always up to something. Stole my handcuffs last time I was in here, and always yelling out that I've got flat feet.

In "Oliver Twist", who controlled the gang of child pick pockets?
Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. Right, off to see what General Knowledge is up to tonight. You need to be very careful with this lot; some very, very clever criminals in here. I just wish they'd stop singing "A Policeman's Lot Is Not a Happy One" as I do my rounds.

What are W.S. Gilbert's full Christian names?
Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. Humanities is next on our rounds. There's always something going on in there. You wouldn't believe what those mythological creatures get up to; steal anything that isn't nailed down, they will. Then they have the cheek to tell me to go and catch some real criminals.

Who stole fire from the gods and gave it to man?
Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. Now, we're just coming into Literature. More criminals in here than anywhere else in FunTrivia. It needs more than just me to patrol in there to keep them in order, but those in charge won't have it. Cut backs, you see, so I have to patrol on my own and put up with remarks like, "I'm gonna make you an offer you can't refuse".

Who wrote "The Godfather"?
Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. Let's go to the Movies. It has almost as many criminals there as in Literature. It needs more than me here as well, but it's the cuts again, you see--lots of cuts in Movies. If there were more of us I wouldn't have to put up with that constant chant of "can't catch me, can't catch me".

Who played Frank Abagnale Jr. in "Catch Me if You Can"?
Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. Ah, we've reached Music. I like this section, a lot of nice people here and not too many criminals to worry about. It makes my job a bit easier, apart from that man who keeps saying, "You look just like the cop in Village People"; that isn't even very original.

Which Beatle was accused of the sin of plagiarism on one of his solo records?
Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. I always end my nightly patrol in Sports. It's very busy for me in here, you know. Yes, I agree it is surprising, but you'd be amazed at the criminals attracted to the money they can make from sports. Very impolite they are as well; only the other day one said to me ,"I was going to be a cop, but I was too intelligent". Well, he wasn't so cocky when he got banned for life, I can tell you.

Which former Pakistan cricket captain was banned for life for match fixing?
Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The first stop on our rounds is Animals. There has been a complaint about a dog running loose, and when I find him he turns out to be a pit bull terrier. He is classed as a dangerous dog. Unfortunately, he doesn't like uniforms much and sinks his teeth into my leg. All I need is to hear the owner saying, "He's only playing, he won't hurt you". Any dog in the UK classed as a "dangerous dog" must be what in public?

Answer: Muzzled

The Dangerous Dogs Act (1991) of the UK was enacted in something of a hurry as a reaction to a flurry of attacks, some on children, by pit bull type dogs. It banned the breeding of such dogs and stated that in public dogs designated as dangerous have to be muzzled securely enough to stop them biting anyone.

They must also be on a lead held by a person who is at least sixteen years old. Unfortunately, irresponsible dog owners continue to flout the law and these dogs are still bred, many for the express purpose of dog fighting.
2. We now make our way to Celebrities. No, we don't patrol Brain Twist, they have their own strange rules in there. You wouldn't believe some of the parties they have in there; rowdy doesn't even start to describe it. I do hate it though when someone says "Oh, you must be the stripogram". Which celebrity, founder of "Playboy" magazine, was noted for the parties he gave?

Answer: Hugh Hefner

Hugh Hefner founded Playboy Enterprises, launching the first issue of "Playboy" magazine in December 1953. The very first issue featured Marilyn Monroe pictures taken from her nude calendar shoot of 1949. His home, Playboy Mansion, has often been seen on television and in films.

At one time it, and Mr Hefner, were notorious for all-night parties attended by celebrities from all walks of life, as well as a host of beautiful women.
3. Ah well, forward into Entertainment. You'd think it would be quiet in here, but you wouldn't believe what some of those beauty queens get up to. I do wish, though, that they wouldn't ask me if my head goes all the way up to the point in my helmet. Who was the first Indian to be crowned Miss World?

Answer: Reita Faria

Before beauty contests became a feminist issue, Miss World was a very large global television event, usually won by someone with classic European style looks. Reita Faria won Miss World in 1966, becoming the first Indian woman to do so. After her one year stint was over she refused modeling contracts and instead concentrated on her medical studies.

She is a qualified doctor, and in a lot of ways defied the stereotype of a beauty queen by proving beauty does not equal stupidity.
4. Next we patrol the For Children area. Terrible little criminals some of them are, always up to something. Stole my handcuffs last time I was in here, and always yelling out that I've got flat feet. In "Oliver Twist", who controlled the gang of child pick pockets?

Answer: Fagin

"Oliver Twist", written by Charles Dickens, was a very unromantic look at the life of the poor in Victorian society, and especially the treatment of poor children and the way they were recruited into criminal gangs. In the book, Fagin, the controller of the pickpockets, is a thoroughly dark and unpleasant character who ends up on the gallows.

This is all a far cry from the musical "Oliver" which, though sticking to the basic story, has only Bill Sykes coming to a sticky end while Fagin walks off into the sunset.
5. Right, off to see what General Knowledge is up to tonight. You need to be very careful with this lot; some very, very clever criminals in here. I just wish they'd stop singing "A Policeman's Lot Is Not a Happy One" as I do my rounds. What are W.S. Gilbert's full Christian names?

Answer: William Schwenk

Gilbert and Sullivan are famous for their comic operas. Words by Gilbert, music by Sullivan. They wrote fourteen in total, and a century after they were written they are still performed and enjoyed all over the world. "A Policeman's Lot Is Not a Happy One" comes from "Pirates of Penzance", written in 1879, which also includes the "Major-Generals Song".

It is one of the three operas most performed these days, the other two being "The Mikado" and "HMS Pinafore".
6. Humanities is next on our rounds. There's always something going on in there. You wouldn't believe what those mythological creatures get up to; steal anything that isn't nailed down, they will. Then they have the cheek to tell me to go and catch some real criminals. Who stole fire from the gods and gave it to man?

Answer: Prometheus

In Greek mythology, Prometheus is a Titan and the brother of Atlas. He steals fire from Zeus and gives it to humans. Zeus punished him for this by chaining him to a rock and having an eagle peck out his liver. Each night his liver grew back, and each day the eagle pecked it out again.

In some versions the eagle was replaced by a raven. Zeus then punished mankind by sending Pandora with her box, which, when opened, released all the ills of mankind into the world, leaving hope in the box.
7. Now, we're just coming into Literature. More criminals in here than anywhere else in FunTrivia. It needs more than just me to patrol in there to keep them in order, but those in charge won't have it. Cut backs, you see, so I have to patrol on my own and put up with remarks like, "I'm gonna make you an offer you can't refuse". Who wrote "The Godfather"?

Answer: Mario Puzo

"The Godfather" was published in 1969, and in 1972 was made into a highly successful film, starring Marlon Brando and Al Pacino and directed by Francis Ford Coppola. It won three Oscars, five Golden Globes and one Grammy. The 1974 sequel was just as successful, winning six Oscars, and becoming the first sequel to win the Best Picture Oscar.
8. Let's go to the Movies. It has almost as many criminals there as in Literature. It needs more than me here as well, but it's the cuts again, you see--lots of cuts in Movies. If there were more of us I wouldn't have to put up with that constant chant of "can't catch me, can't catch me". Who played Frank Abagnale Jr. in "Catch Me if You Can"?

Answer: Leonardo DiCaprio

"Catch Me if You Can" was based on the story of real-life con man Frank Abagnale who, at various times, posed as an airline pilot, a lawyer, a doctor and a prison inspector. His criminal career started when he was just seventeen, and it is estimated he passed some $2.5M worth of forged cheques over a five year period. Finally captured by the FBI and sentenced to twelve years in jail, he was released after five years on condition he helped the FBI's fraud department.

He later ran his own highly successful security consultancy.
9. Ah, we've reached Music. I like this section, a lot of nice people here and not too many criminals to worry about. It makes my job a bit easier, apart from that man who keeps saying, "You look just like the cop in Village People"; that isn't even very original. Which Beatle was accused of the sin of plagiarism on one of his solo records?

Answer: George Harrison

In 1962, The Chiffons recorded "He's So Fine", which was a big hit for them in America, topping the Billboard chart for five weeks. It also enjoyed moderate success in the United Kingdom. In 1970, George Harrison recorded "My Sweet Lord" as a track on his album "All Things Must Pass", and it was also released as a single. Within weeks, Bright Tunes, owners of "He's So Fine", filed a plagiarism suit.

The case lingered on for some twenty years with appeal and counter appeal being made, but eventually it went against George Harrison and it was decided that "My Sweet Lord" was a plagiarised version of "He's So Fine".
10. I always end my nightly patrol in Sports. It's very busy for me in here, you know. Yes, I agree it is surprising, but you'd be amazed at the criminals attracted to the money they can make from sports. Very impolite they are as well; only the other day one said to me ,"I was going to be a cop, but I was too intelligent". Well, he wasn't so cocky when he got banned for life, I can tell you. Which former Pakistan cricket captain was banned for life for match fixing?

Answer: Salim Malik

In May 2000, Salim Malik was found guilty of match fixing and was banned from playing cricket for life. The one year judicial inquiry that led up to the ban investigated charges of corruption going back as far as 1994, including accusations made by Shane Warne and Mark Waugh of Australia, who said Malik had offered them bribes to perform poorly. Several other Pakistani players, including Wasim Akram, were handed fines for refusal to co-operate with the inquiry, although there were no allegations of corruption against them.
