Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. CELEBRITIES: What is Dwayne Johnson also known as?

Answer: The Rock

Dwayne Johnson's father was wrestler Rocky Johnson, and his grandfather was wrestler Peter Maivia. When Johnson started wrestling, he was given the name Rocket Maivia after his father and grandfather. Overtime that was shortened to The Rock. Johnson retired from wrestling in 2019.

He is an actor and has been in several movies since 1999, including "The Scorpion King" (2002) and some of the "Fast and Furious" movies. He was the voice of Maui in "Moana."
2. GEOGRAPHY: What was often listed as the name of the longest street in Ontario, Canada?

Answer: Yonge Street

Yonge Street connects the shores of Lake Ontario to the shores of Lake Simcoe. There was a widespread belief that it was the longest street in the world. The street is 86 kilometers (53 miles) long. People were mixing it with the rest of Highway 11, which in total is 1,896 kilometers (1,178 miles).

The longest in the world could be the Pan-American Highway which is 47,958 kilometers (29,800 miles), but the road was never fully completed. It runs from Fairbanks, Alaska, to Buenos Aires, Argentina.
3. ANIMALS: What is the world's deadliest animal?

Answer: Mosquito

While it is one of the smallest animals, it is the deadliest, killing between 750,000 to one million human deaths each year. The reason is they carry many diseases, of which malaria is one. Malaria kills about half a million people each year.
4. GENERAL: In many European cultures, what does one do when a loved one dies and company is expected to visit the house?

Answer: Stop all the clocks at the time of death

This practice dates back to ancient times and was symbolic, saying that the deceased's time had stopped. In Victorian times it was also believed that stopping the clocks brought good luck to those that remained alive.
5. HISTORY: Did William Wallace paint himself blue in the time of war?

Answer: No

The Picts (an ancient people of eastern and northern Scotland) may have done this, but historians are unsure. However, William Wallace was a thousand years later, and by that time, the practice had died out.
6. MUSIC: Which of these is a name of a Van Halen album from the 1980s?

Answer: 5150

"1999" was an album by Prince, "Bad" by Michael Jackson, and "Faith" by George Michael." "5150" came out in 1986. It was the first album recorded with Sammy Hagar as the lead singer after replacing David Lee Roth. This album produced four singles, including "Best of Both Worlds."
7. WORLD: How do you say Ireland in Gaelic?

Answer: Eire

Irlanda is Spanish and Italian, Irlandia is Greek and Aillaendeu is Korean. The capital of Ireland is Dublin. Ireland got its name (Eire) from the Irish goddess Eriu, who was the goddess of Ireland. And from that, the word Eire evolved.
8. PEOPLE: Finish this Albert Einstein quote: 'You can't blame gravity for _____ ?

Answer: falling in love

Einstein wrote this quote in a letter to someone in 1933. As far as it is known, the letter was not answered. He was explaining that falling in love was not the stupidest thing people can do.

Albert Einstein was born March 14, 1879, in Ulm, Kingdom of Wurttemberg, German Empire. In 1921, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics. In 1940, he became a US citizen. He believed that people should have the "right to say and think as they pleased." He was a member of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) and fought for the Civil Rights of the African-American people. He helped establish the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, which opened in 1925. Einstein was against the creation of Israel as a nation (1948). However, he was offered the position of president in 1952, but he declined. Einstein died April 18, 1955, at the age of 76, after bleeding internally from an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
9. TELEVISION: On 'Family Guy,' who does baby Stewie keep trying to kill?

Answer: his mother

Stewie was voiced by Seth MacFarlane. Stewie's mother is Lois. Despite being only one, Stewie has a fantastic vocabulary. MacFarlane described Stewie as "an evil Rex Harrison." Stewie hates Lois because of "his nine-month stay in the ovarian Bastille." His best friend is his teddy bear, Rupert.
10. RELIGION: What were the three gifts brought by the wise men in Matthew 2:11 (King James Version)?

Answer: gold, frankincense and myrrh

Many people believe that there were only three wise men because of the three gifts. However, this is not true. The wise men came from the East, which was at war with the Romans. It says in Matthew 2:3 that all of Jerusalem was troubled when they came.

They would not have caused a stir if there were only three, and there's a good chance they may even have been killed. Traditionally, people traveled in caravans of at least a hundred people. As for the reasoning for the gifts: gold showed that the wise men believed Jesus to be King, frankincense showed they believed him to be High Priest, and myrrh showed they believed he came to save the world (myrrh is often used for burial purposes).
