Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Quote: "It's a drag having to wear socks during matches, because the tan, like, stops at the ankles. I can never get my skin, like, color coordinated." Which female Serb/Hungarian tennis player, winner of 9 Grand Slam events and known for her characteristic "grunting" on volleys, said these words?

Answer: Monica Seles

Like, she was, like, pretty young at the time, so I guess we can forgive her this small indulgence in vanity and pseudo valley-girl-speak. All this was forgotten when she earned world-wide sympathy after being stabbed by a deranged fan while playing in Germany in 1993. As for the other women on the list - Anna is Russian, Martina is a Czech and Chris is American.
2. Quote: "Debts must be collected and loans and mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible. When through a process of law the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and more easily governed by the strong arm of the law applied by the central power of leading financiers." To whom is this ascribed, almost certainly maliciously? What American multi-millionaire and co-founder of one of the world's oldest financial services/investment bank uttered those words circa 1900?

Answer: J.P. Morgan

In case you were ever in any doubt, many folks with money consider the rest of us mere pawns in the grand game of finance. Just to really get your undies in a knot, here's the rest of the quote: "People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders.

This is well known among our principle men now engaged in forming an imperialism of capitalism to govern the world. By dividing the people we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us except as teachers of the common herd."
3. Quote: "That's so when I forget how to spell my name, I can still find my clothes." This was Stu Grimson's response to the question as to why he kept a colour photo of himself pasted to his locker. Known as an enforcer, he earned the nickname "The Grim Reaper". What sport do you think he played?

Answer: ice hockey

Yup - there's a reason why helmets are mandatory in the National Hockey League. In his 13-year professional career, Stu played for 7 different teams and managed to rack up over 2,000 penalty minutes. Not surprisingly, after numerous black-outs during the 2002 season, he was forced to retire after a fight due to post-concussion syndrome.
4. Quote: "The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation's history. No, not our nation's, but in World War II. I mean, we all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century, but in this century's history." In 1988, what American politician astonished us with this garbled statement?

Answer: Dan Quayle

With all due respect to the office he held, no quiz containing public statements guaranteed to make you say huh? would be complete without a quote courtesy of former Vice-President James Danforth Quayle. In fact, an entire SERIES of such quizzes could be written using words that came out of his mouth. Under constant scrutiny from media hounds who couldn't wait to jump all over his next verbal faux pas, you almost felt sorry for the guy. I did say "almost" lol.
5. Quote: "You can't stay married in a situation where you are afraid to go to sleep in case your wife might cut your throat." These words were spoken, at the time of one of his divorces, by a boxer plagued by emotional, social and financial problems, as well as violent and/or criminal behaviour both inside and outside the ring. What is his name?

Answer: Mike Tyson

Awwwww, poor poor Mikey. Our hearts go out in sympathy and our ears hear your pain. Oops - wait a minute, Evander Holyfield might not be of similar opinion lol. Never known for having an excess of marbles up top, even the sports promoter Dan Duka commented on Mike's bad decision (no pun intended) to get hooked (was that a left or a right?) up once again with the infamous Don King - you know, the guy with the fright wig for a hairdo - when he said, "Why would anyone expect him to come out smarter? He went to PRISON for three years, not Princeton."
6. Quote: "I'm not squeamish at all. As a child, I dragged a dead squirrel home on a skateboard, cut it open and tried to look at its brain." An actress, who starred alongside Wesley Snipes in one of the "Blade" vampire genre movies, was asked if she was bothered by the blood and gore in the film. Who was this person who responded with the quote above?

Answer: Jessica Biel

Umm, Ms. Biel? If you'd ever picked up a true crime novel, you'd know that profilers consider animal mutilation to be a primary warning indicator that a person might develop into a serial killer later in life. I'd keep that little anecdote under my hat if I were you. And who'd have thought that this is the same girl who played Maria Camden/Rivera in 157 episodes of the television series "7th Heaven"? A considerable step up from "Blade: Trinity", two of her other movie roles include parts in "The Illusionist" and "Elizabethtown".
7. Quote: "Models are like baseball players. We make a lot of money quickly, but all of a sudden we're 30 years old, we don't have a college education, we're qualified for nothing, and we're used to a very nice lifestyle. The best thing is to marry a movie star." Who is this dark-haired supermodel?

Answer: Cindy Crawford

Not that Cindy was ever in danger of running out of money, but she did follow her own advice by marrying a movie star (Richard Gere). And while the quote above seems to be slightly superficial and vapid, she's no dummy. She was valedictorian of her high school graduating class and qualified for a university scholarship in chemical engineering.
8. Quote: "How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test?" In 1995, which high-ranking British person, famous for controversial remarks, posed this question to a Scottish driving instructor?

Answer: Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh

Sometimes dubbed the "Duke of Hazard", Prince Philip is rather well known for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Every once in awhile he does say something that makes it seem as if he is quite aware that he goes "over the top" more often than he should. Take for instance, on the occasion of his golden wedding anniversary (1997), when asked what he thought the recipe for a good marriage was, he replied, "Tolerance is the one essential ingredient ... You can take it from me that the Queen has the quality of tolerance in abundance." Given the antics of several members of her family, I should say! (source: BBC Online Network).
9. Quote: "Politics gives guys so much power that they tend to behave badly around women. And I hope I never get into that." What internationally known American politician had the gall to publicly state this and then was accused of lying about such situations many years later?

Answer: Bill Clinton

In the interest of protecting the innocent, I shall borrow a line from many a Monty Python skit... "say no more".
10. Quote: "I don't need ID! My grandfather built this town! Don't you guys ever read the newspaper? Can you even read?" What celebrity (and I use that term loosely) screamed out these words when she was refused admittance to a club in Las Vegas?

Answer: Paris Hilton

Apparently this heiress to a hotel fortune feels that security guards are just inherently dumber than she is. Quite the outburst from a girl who couldn't even manage to complete her high school diploma and whose main (mentionable) claim to fame is wanting to copyright the phrase "that's hot". Normally I'd be reluctant to reward her with the attention she craves by including her in conversation at all, but when it comes to vacuous vocalizations, she pretty much takes the cake.

But hey, we should give her respect, right? Because, in her OWN words, she is "America's closest thing to royalty".
