Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of the following is not a real movie (as of 5 June 2002)?

Answer: Nun for One

The only one of these films I know anything about is "Space Nuns". Honestly, you get everything you need to know from the title.

2. In a toe-curling moment of "Sister Act", which of these words does a nun sing at the top of her voice?

Answer: Seraphim

Silly film, but I love the line about the "nun bar".

3. Who played "The Flying Nun"?

Answer: Sally Field

I imagine this series is well known in America, but I'm not sure it ever made its way over to Europe. Ah well, at least we had "Jeux sans Frontieres".

4. What was the first name of the UK "Big Brother 1" contestant who used to be a nun?

Answer: anna

Apparently she's now a TV presenter, although I watch about a thousand hours of TV a week and I've never seen her.

5. Which artist appeared in the horror film "The Convent"?

Answer: Coolio

This film features killer vampire nuns. And they say the golden age of cinema has gone ...

6. "And I'll go chasin' the nuns out in the yard" is a line from a song by whom?

Answer: Tori Amos

From the song "Happy Phantom". Lucky Tori - all we had was a football.

Do you ever get the feeling your record collection is rather limited?

If ever I doubt the value of my school education, I just remind myself how useful Chaucer has been in my everyday life.

Can I make a recommendation? If you're looking for material for a nun-related quiz, don't use the internet. There are things no-one should see.
