Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Clint Eastwood

The movie, 'Heartbreak Ridge' starred Clint Eastwood, Evert McGill, Marsha Mason, Moses Gunn, and Eileen Heckart. It was directed by Clint Eastwood, and produced by Fritz Manes and Clint Eastwood. The movie was about how Clint Eastwood, as a marine non-commissioned officer (specifically a drill sergeant), used his character's skills to train in a military boot camp. Carry on, Private!

Answer: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

At ease, Private.

"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" was the first installment in the "Millennium Series" by Swedish author Stieg Larsson. The book introduced us to Lisbeth Salander, a pierced, tattooed surveillance agent and researcher. After she did a background check on a journalist named Mikael Blomkvist, both began to uncover the truth about a decades-old mystery for a rich industrialist.

Sound off! One, two! Sound off! Three, four!

Answer: Ty-D-Bol

This very old commercial always made me laugh when I imagined where the little man in the boat ended up after being flushed away! Actor Dan Resin once portrayed the Ty-D-Bol man.

Answer: Napoleon Bonaparte

I'm not too sure we'll be served with Napoleon Brandy in this boot camp or Chicken Marengo, named after a Napoleonic victory in June 1800. Purportedly made specifically for Napoleon, this dish consists of chicken, crayfish, garlic, herbs, olive oil, onion and tomato. We'll have to do with basic rations in the meantime.

Answer: George Washington

George Washington's profile replaced Lady Liberty in 1932, honoring his 200th anniversary of his birth. The quarter has been in production since 1796.

Answer: Manipura: The Solar Plexus Chakra

Manipura, or the Solar Plexus Chakra, is related to the digestive system and metabolism in the physical sense. On a mental level, however, it signifies personal power. Emotionally it governs expansiveness and spiritually, and all matters of growth.

7. Okay, troops! Drill Sergeant MyGirl2000 is back again to test your trivia acumen! Look alive! Which American male singer wrote and sang the song 'American Soldier'?

Answer: Toby Keith

Toby Keith Covel, known as Toby Keith, is an American songwriter, singer, record producer, and actor. The number one US Country Songs (Billboard) single 'American Soldier' video was filmed in November 2003 at hanger 1600 of Edwards AFB in California.

Answer: Andy Griffith

Don Knotts has a role as a corporal in the film. Jim Nabors played the title role in 1960s television series "The Gomer Pyle Show". Phil Silvers starred as Sergeant Bilko in the "The Phil Silvers Show" in the 1950s. Andy Griffith enjoyed popularity as the quintessential small-town sheriff Andy Taylor on "The Andy Griffith Show", from 1960-1968.

Answer: Briana Scurry

The U.S. women won the Gold Medal, and true to her word, Briana Scurry ran naked down an Athens, GA street (in the middle of the night, of course!). I was lucky enough to be a volunteer for the soccer semi-final and final games, held at the University of Georgia's Sanford Stadium.

It was an amazing experience. Brandi Chastain was a defender on that team, and is better remembered for her winning penalty kick at the 1999 Women's World Cup where she ripped off her jersey and dropped to the ground in joy. Hope Solo was the U.S. Women's number one goalkeeper in 2012. Mia Hamm--well, unless you've been living in a cave--I suspect you've heard of her. By 2012, she had scored more international goals in her career than any other player at the time, male or female, with 158.

Answer: Narcissus

Narcissus was proud of his beauty. The nymph Echo fell in love with him, but he wouldn't return her love. Echo eventually died leaving only her voice. Nemesis saw this and created the pool that attracted Narcissus to his fate.
