Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Well the first thing I see on my desk is my computer monitor. So how about a computer question? Which of the following is not a brand of computers?

Answer: Maybelline

Ok, the first question was easy. But that's how we get you, by luring you in with a easy easy question. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
2. Well I see I just got a new calendar. Oh I'm so very excited. I can use my new calendar to determine that October 8, 2003 actually falls on which day?

Answer: Wednesday

So how bored am I? Well, thirty minutes before I decided to write this quiz, Captain Stapler had ordered Sargeant Tape Dispenser and Corporal Scissors to begin a retreat, while Major Calculator ordered Lt. Nameplate to begin a counterattack with the second platoon consisting of paperclips.
3. I have a bottle of Vitamin E on my desk. According to the label, which of these is not an ingredient of Vitamin E?

Answer: Phosphoric Acid

So you are taking this quiz and you are supposing that since professorjon has so much time on his hands he must be an Executive. WRONG! I am just a 'little peon' in the company of life. I wonder how this happened. I mean I did not start out this way. It was not my ambition to be a peon. I did not raise my hand when the teacher asked what I want to be when I grow up, and say "Peon." Yet here I am. And it's not like I did not want to be something. I was not so ambitious that I wanted to be President of the United States. I would have settled for millionaire, with a nice house, a couple of cars and a couple of harems.

Instead I am stuck at my desk thinking up names for my stapler.
4. I have a tape dispenser on my desk, but I don't think I will ask you what it dispenses. Instead, I will ask you a question about my phone. What number is represented by the letters MNO? (no peeking)

Answer: 6

So this morning I was sitting at my desk talking to myself and I was able to learn a few things. For instance, did you know the telephone does not have a Q? Or that ink pens come in such wonderful colors as red, blue and believe it or not, the color green? Or that Texas is surrounded by an ocean? Did you know these things? Do you care? That's the problem, nobody cares anymore. That's why I am such a geek. I am such a geek that I get pop up ads that are not flashing.
5. I have some of a certain substance which I keep on my credenza, which is known as 'The Magic Spray.' What is it's more common name?

Answer: WD40

I know what you are thinking. Professorjon is a talented, well-respected genius. Oh, that's not what you were thinking? You were wondering why I have a can of WD40 on my desk. Well you know, it's a handy thing to have around. You never know when you will need it.

They don't call it 'the magic spray' for nothing. It has over two hundred uses. WD40 even has its own fan club. And I use it all the time. Just this morning I used it as air freshener because I er...well, we'll skip that part.
6. I also have a book on my desk. It is a volume (which I had loaned out and just got back) of five complete novels by mystery writer Ellery Queen. Which of the following is not a book by Ellery Queen which appears in this volume?

Answer: The Silent Speaker

If you had bothered to take my quiz on 'Ellery Queen' it might have helped you with this question. (nah) Queen also wrote "The Player on the Other Side" and "Inspector Queen's Own Case" (The other two novels in the volume). "The Silent Speaker" is by Rex Stout.
7. I also happen to have a book on my desk called a "Mapsco." This map book is ideally suited for looking up addresses in the same_______?

Answer: City or metroplex

Professorjon does not need a stinking map. I can be equally lost with or without one.
8. I happen to have a coffee cup on my desk. I don't drink coffee, but I have the cup. It is a souvenir cup with my name on it that I got while visiting this great state which joined the union on February 14, 1912. That state is ________?

Answer: Arizona

That was a trick question. I live in Texas and no one has ever referred to North Dakota or New Mexico before as 'Great States.'
9. I also have on my desk a schedule for my favorite hockey team, the Dallas Stars. Since this quiz is based on today, November 15, 2002, I want to know what team will be opposing the Stars tonight when they play at the American Airlines Center in Dallas?

Answer: Colorado Avalanche

OK, I made up the other three so I hope you got this one right. There are only two things that are really important in life: The comfort of Professorjon and the Stars. Go STARS! So if you are not into Hockey, please, please, this weekend go down to your local library and check out a book on hockey. Tell them Professorjon sent you.
10. The final thing at or about my desk is me. I know what you are pondering. You are pondering that it would be unfair to ask a question about me because you don't know if I am tall or fat, short or thin or if I am a hunk with wavy blond hair, deep blue eyes and broad shoulders, or if I am a dork with brown hair and pudgy eyes. Well you can relax. I am all of the above. However, my question about Professorjon concerns the Trivial Portal. Which of the following is Professorjon outstanding in?

Answer: Writing General quizzes centering around Common Bonds

I can't be in the South Pasture because I am at my desk writing this quiz and I don't have a long enough extension cord. And as for Art and Science . . .I couldn't tell the difference between a painting by Picasso and a muskrat. Thus, by deduction, the answer must be Common Bonds. Well I hope you enjoyed my quiz.

It isn't everyday that I get the chance to write a quiz while the boss is out of the office. Be sure to check back with me in the future when I get bored once again and write a quiz on the contents of my pockets.
