Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. You know when you hit a certain part of your arm and it goes numb? Soon, in my strange-free world, you'll say, "Ouch, that was my run-of-the-mill bone!" I'm not changing scientific names, though. Which body part is involved in what used to be called "hitting your funny bone"?
2. Collectors will line their curio cabinets with "familiars and ends" instead of "odds and ends." Of course, if you don't like this new term, there are other suitable words and phrases referring to trinkets. Which of the following admittedly odd terms is NOT one of them?
3. Children will rush to the library to check out freshly printed copies of "Mundane George" by Margret and H.A. Rey. What kind of animal is the title character George, a friend of the Man with the Yellow Hat?
4. Eager shoppers will stock up on spray bottles of Garden-Variety, an S.C. Johnson product. What purpose will the substance formerly known as Fantastik continue to serve under this new, more user-friendly name?
5. Three, nine, twenty-five -- why did these numbers get such a bad rap as "odd" numbers? I have to do something about that. Let's try "dime-a-dozen" numbers. How am I going to determine which numbers fall into the category that is being renamed?
6. Viewers will now hear this introduction to "Star Trek": "These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore well-trodden old worlds... to boldly go where no man has gone before!" Who spoke a slightly "stranger" version of this quote in the show's title sequence?
7. Gentlemen will rely upon a new cologne and aftershave called Bay Everyday, a masculine scent created from bay leaves and a certain liquor whose name means "strange" in British slang -- hence its inclusion in my campaign! What was this cologne formerly called?
8. Audiences will thrill to sound of rich organ music as a masked man entreats his beloved Christine with a haunting melody and these words: "Sing once again with me, our ho-hum duet." For which musical will this new-and-improved scene be most appropriate?
9. Perhaps we can bring Turkey red, like the color worn by British redcoats, back into fashion by renaming the source of the color, "more normal plant." If this was your favorite plant, don't get angry! Just tell me, what was this plant known as before I renamed it?
10. Whenever someone has some unpleasant fate to endure, they will say: "I shall have to dree my usual alone." All right, so this saying hasn't been extremely popular of late, but maybe that's because it was too strange! What word did I replace with "usual"?
