Jesus Built My Hotrod Trivia Quiz

Answer: Jesus Christ Superstar

The opening song is "Heaven on Their Minds", which Judas sings alone. He is concerned about Jesus' popularity mainly because of the potential dangers to Him and his followers if the Romans do not like His claims to be divine. The musical sticks more tenuously to the Gospels, taking artistic license with the characters' thoughts and intentions.

There are some anachronisms too, as occur in most adaptations of a historical record. The musical first hit Broadway in 1971.

Answer: Lizard

A frog is an amphibian!

Corytophanid lizards, to give Jesus Christ lizards their family name, live in mid-America - from the south of Mexico, through Central America, reaching areas of South America. Their ability to walk on water is due to their high-speed movement across the surface of water; they can reach a velocity of five feet a second! This action is short-lived, and lasts for only around three seconds, at which time they instead swim.

Answer: Green Day

The band was formed under a different name in 1987. It was their third studio album, "Dookie", that led to their first real success. "American Idiot" is arguably their most famous song, and the album of the same name's release a few months before President Bush's re-election, as well as the anti-Bush lyrics in other songs on the album, caused some controversy.

"Jesus of Suburbia" is a song on the same album, and also the central character of the album, which was written as a concept album. It is generally regarded as the band's best song, and is played at its full length at concerts and on some radio stations.

Answer: Leonardo Da Vinci

The novel's name is "The Da Vinci Code". The protagonist, Robert Langdon, is a symbologist whom the French authorities invite to the Louvre museum to give his opinion on a strange code left by the murdered curator. Langdon ends up on an international thrill-ride, trying to solve the mystery, which eventually transpires: not only had Jesus apparently married Mary Magdalene, but they had also produced a child, and thus were the ancestors of the Merovingian Kings of France. Religious groups were not happy with the novel, but it became a bestseller.

Answer: True

The Hebrew for Joshua is 'Yehoshua', meaning "Yahweh is salvation". When transliterated from Hebrew into Greek and Latin, the name Yehoshua, or Yeshua, became Iesous (in Greek) and Iesus (in Latin), from which English took its version of the name. Thus we can see that Joshua and Jesus are actually the same name! Many languages refer to the Biblical Joshua as "Jesus, son of Naue" to distinguish him from Jesus Christ.

Answer: Spain

Jesús Navas González was born in 1985. He has played for Sevilla, and played in the World Cup matches, including the final winning match. He has an older brother, who is also a footballer. He famously suffers from anxiety and homesickness, and these have both threatened his participation in certain games away from Spain.

Answer: Wheel

The song was featured on Carrie's second album in 2005. It tells of a girl praying for Jesus' help after her car skids off the road in winter. She wants him to "take the wheel" figuratively, because her life has been going in the wrong direction. The title's popularity online arose after it began being used as a "meme"; people used the phrase as a reaction to something they were angry at, asking Jesus to "take the wheel" in sorting out the problem, but this has usually been done as a joke.

There also exist macro versions, where Jesus literally takes the wheel of the car (or states how he cannot drive!).

Answer: Christ

X, or the Greek letter chi, in place of "Christ" stands for "Xristos", so it's not really replacing the "Christ" in "Christmas", contrary to popular belief. Singer Christina Aguilera for a time spelled her name as "Xtina", using a historically acceptable alternative to the "X" - "Xt". No matter if you spell it "Christmas" or "Xmas", it is pronounced the same, although some people pronounce it "ex (as in the letter 'x') mas".

Answer: Ibiza

Comoros is part of Africa, Timor-Leste is in Asia, and Vanuatu is in Oceania. All are countries of the world.

Ibiza is a Balearic Island, and a part of Spain. A stark contrast to its famous nightclubs, its other tourist attractions include the UNESCO World Heritage Sites across the island. Nostra Senyora de Jesús, known simply as Jesús, is two miles north of Ibiza Town, and contains a church thought to have been built in 1498.

Answer: Capricorn

"Jesus Was A Capricorn" was Kristofferson's fourth album.

Jesus' real birth date is not known, but December 25 is used to commemorate his birth in the Western world. Other dates around the world of the celebration of Jesus' birth occur around the same time of year (from December 24 to January 19), thus it is possible that he was born around this time, making him a Capricorn.
