Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is syringomyelia?

Answer: A spinal cord disorder

The condition forms a cyst over the spinal cord and expands over time, destroying the center of the cord. When your spinal cord is damaged, then nearly every other aspect of your body is damaged in some way or another.

2. Which CD by celtic music phenom Steve McDonald contains the track 'By Law'?

Answer: Highland Farewell

Released in 2000, 'Highland Farewell' was somewhat of a different direction for Mr. McDonald, because everything was upbeat. Like most of his other music, though, it focused on retelling the history of Scotland in a musical manner.

3. Route 66 goes through all but which of the following states?

Answer: Colorado

Also called 'The Mother Road', route 66 is renowned for its beauty. Other than the correct states listed above (New Mexico, Kansas, and Illinois), the highway also goes through Arizona, California, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas.

4. When does Djibouti celebrate its Independence Day?

Answer: June 27

Djibouti was granted independence from France in 1977. Djibouti is a small, dry country in Africa (a tad smaller than Massachusetts). It borders Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia.

5. The Gummi Bears candy was based on a fairy tale starring human-like bears. From what source did the gummi bears of lore get their strength?

Answer: Gummieberry Juice

The Gummi Bears candy that we all know and love (and eat) is derived from a fairy tale, set in the medieval era. They lived in houses, participated in recreational activities, and basically went about as anthropoid bears should. They could access a secret juice made of gummieberries which, strangely, also gave them the ability to bounce.

6. In the novel 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald, what sport does Jordan Baker professionally play?

Answer: Golf

She goes carelessly throughout her life. As a character, she connects Gatsby to Nick.

7. In 1999, what U.S. senator used the word 'floccinaucinihilipilification' when he commented on the demise of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty?

Answer: Jesse Helms

Jesse Helms, a North Carolina senator, said, "I note your distress at my floccinaucinihilipilification of the CTBT." Floccinaucinihilipilification means 'the act or habit of estimating something as worthless', and came about in the eighteenth century when William Shenstone used four consecutive Latin words (flocci, nauci, nihili, pili) meaning to be valueless, and placed the suffix '-fication' at the end.

It was the longest word in the first edition of the Oxford dictionary, but was exceeded in length by another word in the second edition. What word was that, you ask? None other than pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, meaning 'a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust'.

8. Which of the following movies has Ashton Kutcher not appeared in?

Answer: Wet Hot American Summer

He was George Durham in 'Texas Rangers', Tom Stansfield in 'My Boss's Daughter', and made an uncredited appearance in 'Cheaper by the Dozen'.

9. What does the Welsh word 'barddoniaeth' translate to in English?

Answer: Poetry

Other ways to say poetry are 'cerdd dafod' and 'prydyddiaeth'. Last (adjective form) can be said 'diwethaf', flower is 'blodyn', and the English language would be 'Saesneg'.

10. Who did the voice for Mackie Stingray in the original Japanese version of the anime 'Bubblegum Crisis'?

Answer: Sasaki Nozomu

Sasaki Nozomu also lent his voice talent for animes like 'Akira', 'Card Captor Sakura', 'Rayearth', and 'Yuuyuu Hakusho', among many others. You can also hear him in the videogames 'King of Fighters 2001' and 'Ehrgeiz'.
