Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Since I am a cultural devotee, I find the "Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue?" painting series quite ugly. You might disagree, but who is the artist?

Answer: Newman

Barnett Newman (1905 - 1970) is one of the better known color field painters. Piet Mondriaan is also an abstract expressionist famous for his "Victory Boogie-Woogie". I find a mud fence more attractive, but if you can make millions with a paint roller, you are a great artist! Rietveld is a Dutch designer mostly famous for his furniture, which sometimes has the same colored fields.

Answer: Chinese Crested

Chinese Cresteds are, despite their looks, very loveable and good with children. They are energetic, and playful. Sam, the ugliest one apparently, once had a TV appearance once playing the role of a cat in a Halloween costume. He really is clock-stopping ugly, and proud of it!

Answer: So ugly you could chew off your own limb, like a coyote does when trapped.

Coyotes are known to gnaw off limbs if they are stuck in a trap. The term "coyote ugly" refers to the awful feeling of waking up next to an ugly partner you picked up in a drunken state the evening before. So ugly, in fact, that you would give up your arm just to prevent "it" from waking up and hugging you.

4. Who does not know the story about the ugly duckling? What did it turn out to be?

Answer: A swan

This tear jerking story was written in 1843 by Hans Christian Andersen. It is about a baby swan hatched in a duck's nest who stuck out because he was clumsier and uglier than the other ducklings. It is a fairy tale which explains to a child that it is all right to be different. Eventually, everything will turn out perfectly.

5. "Ugly" is also the title of a song. Which UK girl band, by no means ugly themselves, scored a modest hit with "Ugly"?

Answer: Sugababes

"Ugly" is a single from the Sugababes' album "Taller in More Ways". It was released December 2005 and did reasonably well in the charts; UK (3rd) Ireland (12th) and The Netherlands (7th).

6. Which of these words is not an official translation of the word "Ugly"?

Answer: Be'nal

H�sslich is German, lelijk is Dutch, feo is Spanish and be'nal means "wife" in Klingon. She can be ugly too, especially a Klingon wife, but it is not an "official" translation.

Answer: Gladys and Glynnis

Gladys and Glynnis appeared on the show "Friends", Episode 1006, "TOW Ross' Grant". This was a great episode of my favorite sitcom. Phoebe is moving in with Mike. He does not want Gladys in his house. Rachel and Monica both don't want to be stuck with it and argue. Phoebe comes up with a even uglier thing, so now they fight to get Gladys because she is less ugly than Glynnis.

Roy and Twayla are the names of my own children. They are not ugly at all, nor are the Olsen twins, by the way.

8. One of the best Westerns ever is "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". Who played the role of "Ugly"?

Answer: Eli Wallach

Good old Clint is Blondie, "The Good". Lee is Sentenza or Angel Eyes, "The Bad", and Eli is Tuco, "The Ugly". The movie had good casting because Eli has a face like a dropped meat pie. Bronson is not even in the movie but is phenomenal as Harmonica in "Once Upon a Time in the West".

Answer: Close Harmony

'Death grunt' and 'death growl' are sounds created by a distortion of the throat. They are considered similar to an overtone style of singing, which is a specific form of harmonic singing, but of course quite different from 'close harmony' singing like "The Barbershop Quartet".

The 'unintelligible yelling' is a description used by a music critic who described 'death grunt' as "Cookie monster vocals".

Answer: Fiat

Actually the Fiat Multipla is an ingenious design, very spacious, ideal for family use. But it still looks like a bag of spanners on a burst couch. I wish I had one though.
