2. Which onomatopoeically-named Looney Tunes character, known for their bright yellow plumage and knack for outwitting the "puddy tat", was originally pink and named Orson?

Answer: Tweety Pie

Believe it or not, one of Looney Tunes' most well-loved and enduring characters had a completely different name and colour originally. Tweety Pie, who was originally called Orson, was also drawn pink and without feathers at first. However the naked, pink Tweety Bird drew criticism from audiences, which is what led to him becoming the yellow feathered canary associated with Sylvester, the "puddy tat".

He first appeared in the 1942 short film, "A Tale of Two Kitties", but by his second appearance he was a bright yellow canary named Tweety Pie.

3. What 1940s tough girl sport has seen a revival in recent years? Hint: It shares part of its name with a type of horse race.

Answer: Roller derby

Roller derby started on the US east coast, attracting a national fan base in the millions by the 1940s. Rigged matches similar to those in TV wrestling led to its decline. The sport began reviving around 2000 and is now played by "derby girls" worldwide.

4. On what part of your body would you wear "mules"?

In "The Legend of Zelda" franchise, Zelda is a princess in the land of Hyrule.

Question by player Joepetz
6. Bugs Bunny often intends to visit places like Pismo Beach and the Black Forest, but often winds up missing them because he does not take a left turn at what city?

Answer: Albuquerque

"I *KNEW* I should have made a left toin at Albakoikee" is often a phrase Bugs recites before he gets into his latest adventure. The phrase first made its appearance in the cartoon short: "Herr Meets Hare" (1945), a WW2 film that now is rarely aired due to its featuring of real Nazis such as Goering and Hitler in a comedic manner.

8. In 1975, what comic strip authored by Garry Trudeau won a Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning?

Answer: Doonesbury

Doonesbury was the first strip cartoon to ever be awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning.

10. What is the name of Super Mario's dinosaur friend?

Answer: Yoshi

Yoshi is one of the most popular characters to be seen in the Nintendo canon appearing in dozens of Mario games as well as his own spin-off titles such as the N64 game "Yoshi's Story" and the earlier handheld title "Yoshi's Cookie". Typically green, Yoshi has been seen in many different incarnations and colours and usually features a saddle upon which Mario can ride.

In some games, however, Yoshi is in direct competition with Mario (such as "Mario Kart 64", "Super Smash Bros.", and "Mario Party").
