Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which monster composed "The Marriage of Figaro"?

Answer: Wolfman Amadeus Mozart

Here we have an example of the "pun" or play on words. We take the name of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and cleverly transpose the name of the half-man, half-wolf monster, the Wolfman, into it. Puns are considered amusing in some quarters. In others, they are punishable by flogging.

2. What do you get if you cross a criminal with a nun who practised in Calcutta until 1997?

Answer: Mugger Teresa

It's "Mother Teresa", but with the word "Mugger" instead of "Mother". Do you see? Not "Mother Teresa", but "Mugger Teresa". Ha ha.

3. "Doctor Doctor. I keep thinking I'm a musical instrument famously played by Arnold Jacobs of the Chicago Symphony" "Ah, you have a case of ..."

Answer: tubaculosis

It's not easy to make up jokes. Once you've come up with the concept of "tubaculosis", you then need to think of a famous tuba player.

4. A man walks into a bar, with the actress who played Spartacus's wife sitting on his left shoulder, and the writer of "Huis clos" on his right shoulder. The barman asks him to leave, saying ...

Answer: Sorry, no Jeans

The Jeans in question were of course Jean Simmons, and the philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre. The latter has inspired the following extra joke, which you get at no extra cost:
Jean Paul Sartre walks into a bar. "Sorry", says the barman, "Huit-clos".

Answer: flat monkey

A Macaque's a type of monkey. What more do you need to know?

6. Knock Knock Who's there? [Blank] [Blank] Who? [Blank] So I had to knock. What's the missing word (hint - it's the surname of the man who invented dynamite)?

Answer: Nobel

Dynamite was of course invented by Alfred Nobel, the man who founded the Nobel Prize (do I win anything for being the 1 millionth person to use this trivia question?).

There is, as yet, no Nobel Prize for Knock Knock jokes, but I plan to submit the above as and when there is. It's not funny, but hell, they gave Yasser Arafat the Peace Prize.

7. What do you call a Swedish tennis player attacking the Starship Enterprise?

Answer: Bjorn Borg

I think this might actually be the least funny joke ever. It may also be the most difficult answer to get - how many Star Trek fans also know anything about sport?

Answer: A good Haydn

Interesting Fact: Haydn had a beautiful singing voice when he was young. His choirmaster, fearing he would lose it when his voice broke, agreed with Haydn that he would be castrated. Fortunately, Haydn's father found out and put a stop to it.

9. John McEnroe is playing tennis, and suffers a particularly bad line call. He turns to the umpire, only to find Harry Potter's godfather sitting in the chair. Incensed, he cries ...

Answer: "You cannot be Sirius!!!"

Harry Potter's godfather was called Sirius Black.
Cheer up. Only one more to go.

10. What's the capital of Australia?

Answer: Canberra

Okay, it's not a joke, but frankly the part of my brain capable of making up jokes has given up and died after the first 9. This now puts me in the perfect position for my new job making Christmas crackers.
