Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the American sitcom "Taxi", which actor played the role of Louis de Palma?

Answer: Danny de Vito

Danny de Vito played the role of Louis de Palma, owner of Sunshine Cabs. The actor's real-life wife, Rhea Pearlman, also had a recurring role in the sitcom as Louis de Palma's on-off girlfriend Zena Sherman. Jeff Conaway played the role of unsuccessful actor Bobby Wheeler; Tony Danza starred as the underachieving boxer Tony Banta; and Christopher Lloyd played the role of Reverend Jim Ignatowski.
2. In the Charles Dickens novel "Great Expectations", on what day of the year does the action commence?

Answer: Christmas Eve

The action begins late on Christmas Eve, at which time the young Philip "Pip" Pirrip encounters the character of Abel Magwitch, an escaped convict in the graveyard of the church. Although this is an unfortunate meeting from Pip's point of view, it ultimately proves beneficial as Magwitch later becomes his benefactor to repay the young boy's kindness.
3. According to the Bible, how many humans were there on Noah's Ark?

Answer: 8

There were apparently eight people aboard the ark: Noah and his three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, along with each of their wives, bringing the total number of humans on board to eight (Genesis chapters 6-8). Although Noah's wife is mentioned on a number of occasions in the Bible, she is never actually named.
4. What does a vexillologist study?

Answer: Flags

Vexillologists would have you believe that their field of study is one of intrigue and importance as it allows one to explore the history and origins of flags and coats of arms. Most vexillologists are members of vexillogical associations, which in turn are all part of the international body F.I.V.A., the International Federation of Vexillogical Associations.
5. According to Norse mythology, what was Bifrost?

Answer: Rainbow bridge

Bifrost was the burning rainbow bridge that linked the realm of man to the realm of the gods. It was guarded by Heimdall, the god of light and oddly enough the son of nine mothers. I wouldn't like to be his spouse as one mother-in-law is quite enough, let alone nine! Draupnir refers to Odin's magic ring and Sleipnir was his eight-legged horse.
6. What age was Michelangelo, the great Renaissance artist, when he died in 1564?

Answer: 88

Michelangelo indeed lived to the ripe old age of eighty-eight. He is buried at the Basilica di Santa Croce in Florence. Most of us know that Michelangelo is responsible for the roof paintings of the Sistine Chapel, but among his other notable artistic masterpieces are "the Pieta", a representation of Jesus and his mother Mary after the Crucifixion; the Statue of David, made from a block of marble; and a painting called "Doni Tondo", depicting St. John.

He is also noted for being the architect of St. Peter's Basilica.
7. According to the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas", which of the following were sent in the greatest quantity?

Answer: Pipers

"...Eleven Pipers Piping,
Ten Lords-a-Leaping,
Nine Ladies Dancing,
Eight Maids-a-Milking, oh AND A PARTRIDGE IN A PEAR TREE!"

The twelve days of Christmas begins on Christmas Day and continues until the eve of the Feast of the Epiphany, January 5th. However, in some traditions, the twelve days begin the day after Christmas Day, December 26th, and continues to the day of the Epiphany, 6th January.
8. In Italian cuisine, what type of foodstuff is pecorino?

Answer: Cheese

Pecorino is any Italian cheese that is made from sheep's milk, usually with a hard texture. Types of Pecorino include Siciliano, Romano and Sardano, all named after the region from where they are made. Other notable Italian cheeses include gorgonzola, a soft cheese made from unpasteurised cow's milk; mozzarella, a common pizza topping made from buffalo's milk; and mascarpone, a creamy cheese made in the Lombardy region.
9. The film "Muriel's Wedding" features hits from which band?

Answer: ABBA

"Muriel's Wedding" is a 1994 Australian smash hit comedy starring Toni Collette, Rachel Griffiths and Bill Hunter, showcasing many of ABBA's well-known hits. Queen's songs are showcased in the west-end musical "We Will Rock You", and "Saturday Night Fever" starring John Travolta is a film featuring songs from the Bee Gees.
10. Which fairytale character is known in Scotland as Rashin Coatie?

Answer: Cinderella

The story of a Cinderella-type character is a feature of fairy tales told in a variety of countries, including Italy where she is referred to as Zezolla.
