Mike's Common Bond 1 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Crush

Crush saluted 64 major people of the Broncos in the late 1970's, probably because they had orange cans already. Some people represented on the cans included manager Fred Gehrke and head coach Robert "Red" Miller.

Answer: Brad Garrett

The very short-lived 1988 "First Impressions" featured Brad Garrett, playing a divorced father who made his living doing impressions. No, this summer series didn't last very long.

Answer: 42

Very sadly, after overdosing on cocaine and other drugs, Elvis Presley was found dead in a Graceland bathroom on August 16, 1977. Later, it was found he died of an "irregular heartbeat." The King made 33 movies and sold millions of albums up until then.

Answer: Jellyfish

A group of jellyfish can be called a smack, as well as a brood or a smuck. Interesting terms for the others: a group of giraffes can be a corps, a group of crocodiles can be a bask or a float, and, my personal favorite...a group of buffalo can be an obstinacy.

Answer: Australia

Mt. Kosciusko and the other nine Top 10 Highest Mountains of Australia are located very close to each other (all being less than 4 mi apart). Geographically, the mountains in the Snowy Mountains range around New South Wales and Victoria help to form part of the Great Dividing Range.

Answer: Bruce Wayne

Martha was Batman's mother, and, of course, Batman used the alias of Bruce Wayne. Batman actually first premiered in the 27th issue of Detective Comics, where he won over his criminal by throwing him into a tub of acid! Many, at first, considered the fictional character to be very dark. And, just in case you wondered, Superman's mom would be Lara.

Answer: Florida Marlins

The Florida Marlins won their first World Series of all time in 1997, against the Cleveland Indians. The team managed to duplicate that feat in 2003, defeating the New York Yankees.

Answer: Dentist

Paul Soles voiced Hermey in the classic 1964 TV special. Other voice talents included the great Burl Ives who voiced the classic snowman and Billy Richards who voiced Rudolph.

Answer: Short-term Memory Loss

Although it has been claimed that ginkgo biloba has been thought to been helpful, many have in the past questioned its true working ability. Other uses of the herb have been to attempt to reverse various effects of aging and even a dietary supplement.

Answer: Finding Nemo

Yes, all of the words in some way relate to one of my favorite movies of the 2003 movie season--Finding Nemo (notice the word "Finding" in the introduction?). Certain characters in the movie include the clownfish MARLIN (7), the turtle CRUSH (1), and the shark BRUCE (6).

While traveling along, Marlin and Dory [who suffers from SHORT-TERM MEMORY LOSS (9)] encounter some JELLYFISH (4). Their ultimate goal is to try to rescue Nemo from a DENTIST (8) who lives in Sydney, AUSTRALIA (5) at 42 (3) Wallaby Way (Dory became quite well at memorizing this). One of the many voice talents of this film was BRAD GARRETT (2), who voiced Bloat, the blowfish with a temper. Hope you enjoyed the quiz!
