Three of a Kind, Part 3 Trivia Quiz

Answer: bulldog

The bulldog is the mascot of the United States Marine Corps. The first was introduced by Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler in 1922 at Marine Barracks, Quantico. Many Marine Corps mascots have been named "Chesty" in honour of Lt. Gen. Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller Jr..

Especially during WWII, the bulldog was used in political cartoons to represent England or the United Kingdom. A few wags have suggested that this is because of its resemblance to Sir Winston Churchill. The mascot of the University of Georgia is the English Bulldog.

Georgia's athletic teams have been called "the bulldogs" since 1920. The live mascots, all named Uga, are from a line owned by an alum in Savannah. Uga V appeared in the 1997 movie "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil."

Answer: penguin

Tux the penguin was inspired by Linus Torvalds, the Finnish mad-scientist computer genius who created the Linux kernel for his own personal computer. As Linux grew, a number of depictions of penguins were suggested to be official. Tux won a contest and, with a few modifications, spread throughout Linux as its logo.

"Happy Feet" is a feature-length animated musical comedy made in Australia. Using the voices of Elijah Wood, Robin Williams, Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman, it tells the story of a penguin who cannot sing the requisite "heartsong" to attract a mate. Mumble is a penguin who cannot sing but can tap dance like crazy (hence the film's title).

John and Christie McVie lived near London Zoo where John frequently visited the penguins. He was actually a member of the Zoological Society. The group named their seventh album "Penguin."

Answer: face

Roughly half of all clock faces are analogue (the circular kind with hands). The use of the term "face" for a clock probably dates from the 13th century but this is not a well-fixed etymological date.

"Man of the Thousand Faces" is the 1957 American biography of Lon Chaney from silent films up through his famous movie monsters. Joseph Pevney directed James Cagney in the lead.

Henry Higgins realizes how much he will miss Eliza Doolittle when she walks out on him (in both the 1956 stage musical and the 1964 movie) and he sings "I've Grown Accustomed to Your Face." The role was filled by Rex Harrison in both. The song has been covered by Johnny Mathis, Dean Martin, Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, Rosemary Clooney, Barbra Streisand and Kermit the Frog.

Answer: jockey

American newspaper and radio gossip columnist Walter Winchell (1897-1972) coined the expression "disc jockey" to describe Martin Block (1903-1967) who hosted "Make Believe Ballroom" on WNEW radio in New York. Block pretended that he was at a ballroom where all of the big bands of the time were playing when, in fact, he was playing their recordings.

Jockey is a term for one who rides horses competitively.

Jockey shorts men's briefs have been made and distributed by Jockey International since 1934. Despite efforts to protect the trademarked name, the term "jockey shorts" is used generically, as well.

Answer: law

"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" is Sir Isaac Newton's Third Law of Motion. It means that, if you are standing in a canoe afloat on the lake next to the dock, and if you attempt to step out of the canoe and onto the dock, as you move toward the dock, the canoe moves in the opposite direction.

The rock song "I Fought the Law and the Law Won" was recorded by Sonny Curtis and the Crickets in 1958, by Paul Stefen and the Royal Lancers in 1962, by Sammy Masters in 1964, by the Bobby Fuller Four in 1966, by Hank Williams, Jr. in 1978, by the Dead Kennedys in 1978, by the Clash in 1979, by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in 1992, by Mike Ness and Social Distortion in 1999, and by Bryan Adams, John Cougar Mellencamp, Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Waylon Jennings, Green Day, and Alvin and the Chipmunks.

William Law (1809-1892) was a member of the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints under Joseph Smith. When Smith attempted to induce Law's wife to enter into a polyandrous relationship with him, Law denounced him and Smith had him expelled for apostasy. Law then founded the "True Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints."

Answer: buffalo

The Buffalo Sabres National Hockey League team was created in 1970. They have played twice for the Stanley Cup and lost both times. They are not to be confused with the Buffalo Bisons AHL team which represented the upstate New York city from 1940-1970.

Wood Buffalo National Park is the largest national park in Canada and the second largest national part in the world (Northeast Greenland National Park is the largest in the world). Wood Buffalo exceeds provincial boundaries covering parts of Alberta and the Northwest Territories.

The Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes was founded in 1822 as a fraternal organization. Its charter expanded over time to include charitable work. Chapters followed the British Commonwealth around the globe and the organization is thus international. Members are prohibited from discussing religion and politics at order functions.

Answer: Delilah

Delilah is the temptress in the Book of Judges who was Samson's downfall. She permitted the Philistines to cut his hair while he slept on her breast and he thereby lost all his power.

Delilah Rene Luke has hosted a late-night radio talk-and-music programme for many decades. Beginning in Seattle, her home, she shares advice (especially about romance), cooking, living (she is a Christian) and family (she has ten children). Her programme airs as "Delilah".

Although Tom Jones' recording of "Delilah" is the best known worldwide, there are many covers of this song: Chuck Berry, Horace Andy, Il Volo, and Queen. The Welsh Rugby Union plays it as a singalong in Millennium Stadium before matches.

Answer: Dutch

The word "Dutch" in earlier forms was used to mean both Germanic peoples and languages and, more narrowly, the people and language of the Netherlands. The sense narrowed to the latter in around the 17th Century.

President Ronald Reagan (1911-2004), the fortieth President of the United States, was nicknamed "Dutch" by his father, who thought he looked like a "fat little Dutchman" with a "Dutchboy" haircut.

Bird's Opening, also known as the Dutch attack, is a chess opening used since the early 15th Century but made popular by Henry Edward Bird (1829-1908), an English chess master. It is notated 1.f4. Of the twenty possible opening moves, the Dutch attack is the sixth most popular.

Answer: eagle

There are about sixty sorts of large birds of prey called eagles; all of them are hunters with sharp vision, sharp talons, and sharp beaks. The eagle is an interesting creature which has inspired its use as a religious, military and heraldic symbol.

The Eagle Crater is about 22 meters wide in the Meridiani Planum. The name derives from the first crewed lunar lander (1969) and a humourous reference to the golf term for sinking a ball two strokes under par.

Apollo Lunar Module 5 was nicknamed the "Eagle." The ascent stage was left in lunar orbit and, when its orbit decayed, crashed at an unknown location on the surface of the Moon.

Answer: Sherry

Sherry wine takes its name from the Spanish city of Jerez de la Frontera where the Palomino grapes from which it is made grow in the Andalusia of southern Spain. An older name for sherry is sack. Christopher Columbus brought sherry with him on his voyage of 1492.

The simple lyrics of "Sherry" ask "Sherry, Sherry baby, can you come out tonight?" Bob Gaudio changed the name of this song several times before settling on "Sherry" because it was the name of his best friend, New York disc jockey Jack Spector's, daughter.

Sherry Palmer first appears as a supporting character, the wife (then ex-wife) of African-American senator (then president) David Palmer. Her role grew into centrality over the first three seasons until it ended rather abruptly.
