Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Mythology: Which priestess of Apollo was blessed with the gift of prophesy, but cursed to never be believed?

Answer: Cassandra

Her warning about the Trojan Horse went unheeded. Oops!

2. Actors: Which Robert was a co-star in Superman 3?

Answer: Vaughn

The perfect suave villian.

3. Medicine: Which developmental disorder affects more girls than boys?

Answer: Rett's Syndrome

Since Rett's Syndrome affects girls almost exclusively and they lose the ability to speak, those who have it are called "silent angels".

4. Movies: Which rock opera starred Bob Geldof?

Answer: The Wall

Geldof, when he was the lead singer of The Boomtown Rats, starred in this film by the group Pink Floyd. His character's name? Pink Floyd.

5. Definition: It is possible to drown without getting water in the lungs.

Answer: False

Drowning is the inhalation of liquid into the lungs, which means you can drown and still survive. Most people who pronounced dead by "drowning" die by asphyxiation since the liquid never gets into the lungs but prevents air from getting there.

6. Names: This Old English name meaning "little warrior" is also a name of a famous western marshall.

Answer: Wyatt

Wyatt Earp of course. The other choices were his brothers Virgil and Morgan. The last marshall would be Bat Masterson.

7. Literature: Kurt Vonnegut's haunting tale of political correctness run amok is "___________ Bergeron"

Answer: Harrison

Strangely enough, this was written in 1961 not the 90's. Anyone who is fed up with the current state of PC-ness should read this.

8. California Amusement Parks: Which of these attractions is at Sea World in San Diego?

Answer: Shamu

The Matterhorn is at Disneyland (Anaheim), Colossus is at Magic Mountain (Valencia). Montezuma's Revenge is at Knott's Berry Farm (Buena Park).

9. Fishing: Which of these is a lure?

Answer: Chugger

In all my research, "Chugger" is the only one who is a type of fishing lure.

10. Language: Which of these is a palindrome?

Answer: Racecar

A palindrome reads the same forwards and backwards.
