Known as "that little ol' band from Texas", ZZ Top have been together for more than thirty years, and were asked to perform at President George W. Bush's inaugural celebrations.

2. Douglas Fairbanks, Tyrone Power and, most recently, Antonio Banderas have played this masked and caped swordsman at the movies. Who was the "fox"?

Answer: Zorro

Making his first appearance in the 1919 magazine story "The Curse of Capistrano", Zorro's trademark is the "slash! slash! slash!" 'Z' which he inflicts onto the skin or clothing of his adversaries. His name is Spanish for "fox", derived from a word originally meaning "cunning".

5. An imaginary heavenly belt forming the background for the movements of the moon, sun and planets, this zone was divided into twelve equal parts by the ancients. What is it called?

Answer: Zodiac

The signs of the zodiac were originally named for the constellations to which they corresponded, but in modern times these no longer match and in reality should all be moved along one!

6. This is a north wind, but as it is in Argentina, it's not too cold - just dusty. What is it called?

Answer: zonda

The zonda is a hot, dry and dusty wind which leaves the Andes and assaults the Argentinian pampas during the months of July and August.

The worship of Zombie, the python god, travelled, via the slave trade, to the West Indies and apparently still survives today in Haiti and some southern US States. Voodoo magic is credited with bringing back to life an apparent corpse, also called a zombie.

10. You may think that this quiz is so good that you are jealous of me (hehe!), but I would then be afraid of you. What do I suffer from?
