2. This big, bearded cartoon character is Popeye's rival for the affections of Olive Oyl. In later editions of the comic strip he was called Brutus.

3. In England certain breeds of pigs like the Tamworth and Yorkshire are specially grown to make which breakfast pork product?

Answer: Bacon

Bacon is not a diet food: one slice has approximately 100 calories, 80% of which are from fat. It is a good source of the mineral selenium.

4. In which year was Nazi SS officer Adolf Eichmann hanged in Israel for crimes against humanity perpetrated during WWII?

Answer: 1962

Adolph Eichmann was sent to an American internment camp in 1945. After escaping there he fled to Argentina and lived under the name Ricardo Klement.

He was found guilty on all counts and was hanged in 1962.

5. This man was born in Bavaria in 1822 and founded the first big pencil factory in the U.S. He was usually referred to by his middle name, Eberhard. What is his famous last name?

Answer: Faber

Eberhard Faber was one of the first large-scale pencil manufacturers in the US. Interesting pencil trivia: although modern day pencils feature a core made of graphite, they are still referred to as "leads" because that was the original material used in the instrument.

Answer: Pinto

It is speculated that Ford was aware of the Pinto's design flaw but went forward with production because the cost of changing the production machinery would cost too much and delay its roll-out.

9. What garment is associated with the Romans but actually is thought to have originated with the Etruscans?
