Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who was the first person to survive a trip down the Niagara Falls while trapped in a barrel?

Answer: Annie Edson Taylor

Annie Edson Taylor performed this stunt on October 24, 1901, seeking fame. She figured that fame and fortune would surely come from being the first person to survive a trip over Niagara Falls, the famous "horseshoe" waterfall on the border of the US and Canada. Unfortunately, even though her fame was achieved, she died in poverty.
2. Why do people of the Danis tribes of West Papua, New Guinea voluntarily cut off their fingers?

Answer: because they were related to the deceased at a grieving ritual following the funeral

As a way of displaying their grief for a related tribe member who had recently died, some people would voluntarily cut off their own fingers. Generally, this ritual applies to all females, including children, related to the deceased tribe member. This custom was practiced because it was believed that the spirits were just as powerful as the people themselves, so they made these grim sacrifices to drive away these negative spirits.
3. Which popular Martin Handford scene did tattooist Rytch Soddy imprint onto the back of one of his clients?

Answer: Where's Waldo?

It took 24 hours for tattooist Rytch Soddy to complete the 150-figure "Where's Waldo?" scene (known in the UK as "Where's Wally?") inscribed permanently onto John Mosley's back. This elaborate design was created by this tattooist, on the job for 13 years, to raise money for the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital in London, which had saved his life when he was a young boy.
4. Who did Barry Baz Franks get a tattoo of on his two front teeth?

Answer: Prince William and Kate Middleton

British plumber Barry Baz Franks paid a dentist $1,671.05 (or 1,090.35 British pounds) to tattoo the faces of the royal couple onto his two front teeth. This extensive procedure took six hours. He hadn't even been invited to the wedding!
5. What animal is Jim Sautner's pet (possibly the world's largest domestic pet)?

Answer: a buffalo

Bailey Jr., the domestic buffalo owned by Jim and Linda Sautner, weighs about 1800 pounds and measures about six feet tall at the hump. Why would someone want a buffalo as a pet? Just ask the Sautners, mailing them at their Spruce Grove property in Alberta, Canada.
6. What language did 19-year-old Rhiannon intend to speak like a native after having her tongue lengthened in a surgery?

Answer: Korean

Student Rhiannon Brooksbank-Jones, was confident that some day, she would move to Korea, so she was determined to learn and have a medical alteration surgery done to her tongue to speak the Korean "L" sounds like a native.
7. What does artist Millie Brown paint with?

Answer: vomit

Artist Millie Brown has chosen a unique media for her paintings: vomit. She first drinks a brightly colored milk and then forces herself to vomit it onto her canvas. These brightly-colored paintings are sold for around $2,500.
8. Why was the wedding dress created by Lukka Sigurdardottir so extraordinary?

Answer: it was made out of cake

With a checkered-cake interior and white vanilla frosting, what more could a bride ask for as the perfect wedding gown?
9. Where is artist Christiam Ramos, who creates portraits of celebrities out of candy, from?

Answer: Mexico City, Mexico

Mexican artist Christiam Ramos is famous for his portraits of celebrities made out of candy. These portraits include that of Beyoncé, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Sandra Bullock, Barack Obama, Lady Gaga, and Michael Jackson.
10. What is the original name of the person now known to the world as the Mexican Vampire Woman?

Answer: Maria Jose Cristerna

With full body tattoos, many piercings, fangs, and horns on her head, it's no wonder this woman was admitted into the Ripley's Museum as a wax figure!
