Released in 1986, "Bubble Bobble" was a popular video arcade game which had 101 stages. The goal in this game was to rescue the girlfriends of twin Bubble Dragons who were named Bub and Bob. It was one of the first games to have multiple endings, which were dependent on the amount of secrets the player found during the game.

Answer: Harpo Marx

"I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" was a popular song that was written in 1918. Harpo Marx was known to play this tune on his clarinet while bubbles came out of the end of the horn. This song was also used in the 1931 James Cagney movie "The Public Enemy" as well as the 1969 film "Women in Love" starring Glenda Jackson and Jennie Linden.
4. In 2001, the book "Bubbles Unbound" received which literary award for best first novel?

Answer: Agatha Award

The Agatha award is given yearly to the best new mystery and crime authors who write in a manner similar to Agatha Christie. The criteria include a closed setting, an amateur detective character and no sex or violence. "Bubbles Unbound" was the first in a series of funny mysteries featuring lead character Bubbles Yablonsky and written by author Sarah Strohmeyer.
5. Which of the following children's movie from 2003 featured a yellow tang named Bubbles?

Answer: Finding Nemo

The 2003 Walt Disney movie "Finding Nemo" featured the voice of actor Stephen Root as the character of Bubbles, a yellow tang who lived in the aquarium of a Sydney dentist. It is in this aquarium that Bubbles and Nemo, who is a clown-fish, first meet. Both of these fish are popular salt-water aquarium fish, primarily because of their bright colors. Bubbles is just one of the characters who helps Nemo reunite with his father.
6. Which of the following drinks is sometimes nicknamed "Bubbles" or "Bubbly"?

Answer: Champagne

The sparkling wine known as Champagne is often referred to as Bubbles or Bubbly. The bubbles found in Champagnes, soda, and seltzer water are all made of carbon dioxide. Some are formed artificially, such as in soda, some by nature, as in some sparkling waters, and by fermentation, as those found in your favorite Champagne.
7. Which of the following American operatic singers was nicknamed Bubbles?

Answer: Beverly Sills

One of the 20th century's most popular operatic sopranos, Beverly Sills was known not only for her voice but also for her looks when she was younger. The nickname of Bubbles was bestowed upon her as a child growing up in Brooklyn, New York. As a child performer she entertained under the name of Bubbles Silverman. As an adult, the nickname was used only by her closest friends.
8. Where would you expect to see a speech bubble?

Answer: In a comic strip

A speech bubble is the round bubble-looking convention used in comic books and cartoons, where characters speech or thoughts are written. Generally a chain of bubbles followed by a larger bubble with words inside indicates that the words are indicative of a thought, while a single large bubble with a point in the direction of the characters mouth indicates speech.
9. As any competent ichthyologist could tell you, a Bubble Eye is a type of which of the following animals?

Answer: Goldfish

A Bubble Eye is a type of tiny goldfish that has eyes that point upward. Under these eyes are two large fluid filled sacs. These sacs give a very distinctive appearance and the advantages of the sacs are not known. The bulging bubble sacs puncture easily, and while they will regrow they can also be prone to infection when they are burst.

When a predator attacks a Bubble Eye they will almost always attempt to bust these large eye sacs in their attack.
10. The 2006 movie "Bubble" was directed by Steven Lucas.

Answer: False

"Bubble" was an unusual 2006 movie directed by Steve Soderbergh. One of the most unusual aspects of this film was that it did not have a script. All the line were improvised by non-professional actors. The movie centers around the murder of a doll factory worker.

There are only three main characters in the movie. In spite of all the unusual aspects of the movie, it garnered Soderbergh a nomination at the 2007 Independent Spirit Awards, for Best Director.
