Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Lyndon Johnson

Darn interesting - if he said it.

2. Many questions still exist concerning the death of Marilyn Monroe. Her psychiatrist, Ralph Greenson, said: 'If you want to know what happened, ask ------'. Fill in the blank.

Answer: Robert Kennedy

A romance between the RFK and Marilyn (apparently) got complicated. Did Marilyn have a little red diary? Was she threatening to blow the whistle and expose the Kennedys? Murray was the {housekeeper;} Lawford was a friend.

3. The following woman warned of the assassination of JFK prior to its happening.

Answer: Rose Cheramie

Cheramie was dumped by the side of the road and locked up - but she warned of the shooting before it happened. Hill and Moorman were eyewitnesses to the shooting who also had cameras handy. Hoffman, a deaf mute, claims to have seen men with guns in the vicinity of the assassination.

4. Jack Ruby told this prominent person that he would talk if he were taken away from Dallas.

Answer: Earl Warren

Warren ignored the repeated requests. Too bad.

5. This journalist promised to 'blow the lid off' of the JFK assassination. Shortly after making that statement, the journalist died 'mysteriously'.

Answer: Dorothy Kilgallen

Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

6. A potential clue to the identity of Jack the Ripper was intentionally destroyed. What was it?

Answer: Erasing a clue that had been written on the side of a wall

A 'clue' written on a wall was intentionally erased. Was it incendiary - or incriminating?

7. According to legend, this President had a dream in which his death was foretold.

Answer: Lincoln

Lincoln - a fascinating and complex man - had a dream of his impending death shortly before it actually happened.

8. This individual created Coral Castle in Florida. How he was able to create this intricate place, however, is a mystery of engineering.

Answer: Ed Leedskalnin

It's a massive undertaking - for which he did not have equipment. Magnetic forces under the earth? (Cayce predicted the rise of Atlantis off the coast of the Bahamas - that may have happened. Nostradamus had many prophecies of the future - their accuracy is subject to interpretation and debate.)

9. Heinrich Schliemann, discoverer of Troy, claimed that an ancient book told him where to look to find the buried city. What was the book?

Answer: The Iliad

'The Iliad' is the source of much material about the Trojan war. 'Critias' and 'Timaeus' are by Plato - whose comments have led many to ponder the location of Atlantis.

10. The Maya claimed to know when the world would end. What date did they predict?

Answer: 2012

Time may be running out ...
