Question 1 of 10
1. I bet Terry never told you that he served in WWII under a General whose name was also Terry, and that he was commander of the 1st Infantry Division. The 1st has a nickname, it went by the name of a film directed by Samuel Fuller. Did Terry ever tell you what that is? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. I bet Terry never told you that he attended Central Michigan University in the 1970s, or even that he wrote a musical there called, "Orchestrina", played Freeman Smith in the Tom Cruise film "All the Right Moves" in 1983 or in the 1990's he played Howard Hughes in "The Rocketeer"? I bet he didn't even tell you that he's best known for his portrayal of John Locke in the television show, "Lost"? However, did you know his birth name actually isn't O'Quinn? Do you know what it is? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. Man! Terry is just full of surprises. Get this: he told me his parents named him after an airport, in the British Virgin Islands. His name isn't actually Terry but Terrance, and apparently he's a thirteen year old boy. Man, he really can tell stories. So, I wonder what the full name of that airport is? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. Terry told me he has an unincorporated town four miles from Webster, Florida named after him. I looked on the map and I could only find one place that shares its zip code with Webster but it isn't called "Terry". What is it called, I wonder...? Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. Did Terry ever tell you that he was the subject of a pirate story? I asked him, "What? Are You One-Eyed Terry?" He replied, "Goonies rule! but no. An actual comic strip from 1934!" Terry looks younger than he apparently is but do you know what comic strip he's talking about? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. Terry was telling me how he married Superman. It sounded quite strange. So, he told me that they did this documentary on him and Superman back in the 1990s, for four years. I said, "Four years?!" and he said, "Yep. From September 12, 1993 to June 14, 1997." I thought those dates were awfully specific, and he said, "When they aired it they called it "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman"." I yelled at Terry, "That's not a documentary! That's a TV show starring Dean Cain and..."? Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. So, Terry was telling me about Tommy Johnson who sold his soul to the devil at a crossroad in Mississippi. Now Terry, being the joker that he is, was telling me how he wrote the lyrics to the popular song written by Blues man Robert Johnson. Either Terry is really old or he's just straight out lying -- I'm thinking the latter. Anyway, what town was Tommy Johnson born in? Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. So, Terry just told me that he's actually a transsexual English ventriloquist who was born in Ipswich in 1937. His/Her dummy was named Shorty Harris. Can you believe this guy...gal...whatever? Who does Terry think he is now, I wonder? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. Now Terry is telling me he's this semi-famous poet who wrote under the pseudonym Rose Cooke, and that his book "The Mormon's Wife" brought tears to many an eye. He told me to guess his middle name. Guess what I said. Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. This just takes the cake! Now Terry is telling me that he created this website. Yeah! Funtrivia. Can you believe that? Man! He even told me the year it was first launched way back in ...? Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I bet Terry never told you that he served in WWII under a General whose name was also Terry, and that he was commander of the 1st Infantry Division. The 1st has a nickname, it went by the name of a film directed by Samuel Fuller. Did Terry ever tell you what that is?

Answer: The Big Red One

Did Terry ever tell you that not only did Major General Terry de la Mesa Allen, Sr. serve in WWII but also in WWI, and who had a son (also named Terry) who served in Vietnam? Man! Terry is just full of surprises, isn't he?
2. I bet Terry never told you that he attended Central Michigan University in the 1970s, or even that he wrote a musical there called, "Orchestrina", played Freeman Smith in the Tom Cruise film "All the Right Moves" in 1983 or in the 1990's he played Howard Hughes in "The Rocketeer"? I bet he didn't even tell you that he's best known for his portrayal of John Locke in the television show, "Lost"? However, did you know his birth name actually isn't O'Quinn? Do you know what it is?

Answer: Quinn

Did Terry ever tell you that he was born in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and that he has 10 siblings and was raised a Roman Catholic? I bet Terry never told you that! You know, I am starting to think Terry tells stories. I don't know. Perhaps I am wrong.
3. Man! Terry is just full of surprises. Get this: he told me his parents named him after an airport, in the British Virgin Islands. His name isn't actually Terry but Terrance, and apparently he's a thirteen year old boy. Man, he really can tell stories. So, I wonder what the full name of that airport is?

Answer: Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport

Terry also told me that the airport used to be called "Beef Island Airport". I told him, "What? Not Steak Island Airport?" He told me to be serious. He then prattled on about how it's on Beef Island off the main island of Tortola. I thought he said, "Motorola" and he quipped I was being asinine. That's Terry for you...can only laugh at his own jokes.
4. Terry told me he has an unincorporated town four miles from Webster, Florida named after him. I looked on the map and I could only find one place that shares its zip code with Webster but it isn't called "Terry". What is it called, I wonder...?

Answer: Tarrytown

The reason why, Terry says, they named it after him (must have misspelled his name, huh?) is because he introduced timber to the community and it's become their "cash cow" (his words). Instead of giving him a plaque they named the town after him. What a fibber!
5. Did Terry ever tell you that he was the subject of a pirate story? I asked him, "What? Are You One-Eyed Terry?" He replied, "Goonies rule! but no. An actual comic strip from 1934!" Terry looks younger than he apparently is but do you know what comic strip he's talking about?

Answer: Terry and the Pirates

He told me by its end run in 1976 he made millions from the comic but I think he was just bragging to me. He told me that he revived it in 1995 but it died out by 1997. Funnily enough, he told me he had a racier version during WWII but after some controversy renamed it "Male Call". That Terry just goes on and on... Him and his stories!
6. Terry was telling me how he married Superman. It sounded quite strange. So, he told me that they did this documentary on him and Superman back in the 1990s, for four years. I said, "Four years?!" and he said, "Yep. From September 12, 1993 to June 14, 1997." I thought those dates were awfully specific, and he said, "When they aired it they called it "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman"." I yelled at Terry, "That's not a documentary! That's a TV show starring Dean Cain and..."?

Answer: Teri Hatcher

He also told me he married a guy named Jon Terry. I replied, "Dude, you're not Teri Hatcher and she was married to Jon Tenney." He replied, "Were you there?", and I was like "No one was there!". He also told me he was born in Palo Alto, California and his Alma mater was De Anza College. Man, that Terry and his stories...!
7. So, Terry was telling me about Tommy Johnson who sold his soul to the devil at a crossroad in Mississippi. Now Terry, being the joker that he is, was telling me how he wrote the lyrics to the popular song written by Blues man Robert Johnson. Either Terry is really old or he's just straight out lying -- I'm thinking the latter. Anyway, what town was Tommy Johnson born in?

Answer: Terry

He told me one of the hit songs he wrote for Johnson was "Campbell Soup Blues". I was puzzled and replied with, "Do you mean "Maggie Campbell Blues" and "Canned Heat Blues"?" He just changed the subject and how he was actually portrayed by Chris Thomas King in "O, Brother Where Art Thou?" and how he's besties with George Clooney. Silly Terry and his stories!
8. So, Terry just told me that he's actually a transsexual English ventriloquist who was born in Ipswich in 1937. His/Her dummy was named Shorty Harris. Can you believe this guy...gal...whatever? Who does Terry think he is now, I wonder?

Answer: Terri Rogers

Terry said he was born Ivan Southgate. I was like, "I thought your name was Terr...Focus, or Windstar, or...I don't know...", he laughed at me and called me silly! He went on to say how he won acclaim in the 1968 review "Boys Will be Girls" at the Theatre Royal, Stratford, London and was a highly regarded performer on the UK cabaret circuit.
9. Now Terry is telling me he's this semi-famous poet who wrote under the pseudonym Rose Cooke, and that his book "The Mormon's Wife" brought tears to many an eye. He told me to guess his middle name. Guess what I said.

Answer: Terry

He also told me that since he used a female pseudonym that he attended Hartford Female Seminary, graduated at 16 and then became a governess for clergyman William Van Rensselaer in Burlington, New Jersey. Next he'll tell me he was the founder and CEO of Burlington Coat Factory. That Terry!
10. This just takes the cake! Now Terry is telling me that he created this website. Yeah! Funtrivia. Can you believe that? Man! He even told me the year it was first launched way back in ...?

Answer: 1995

Man, that Terry. Telling me there's over two million members, and over 100,000 quizzes, and it all got its start at the University of Waterloo. Next he'll tell me he knew Napoleon, and that ice cream was really named after him.

That Terry! Boy, I tell you...
