Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Music: What is odd about the album "The Cow Goes Moog?"

Answer: The title's play on words includes a mispronunciation.

The name 'Moog' is pronounced 'mo-gue'(rhymes with Vogue), not 'moooo-g.' The title assumes the pronunciation of 'moooo-g,' so it is incorrect.

2. Shopping: What Canadian store's inhouse brand is Truly?

Answer: Zellers

Zellers is a department store of a certain higher quality then Wal Mart. Sears has everything, The Bay mostly has clothes and Jennifer's of Nova Scotia has souvenirs.

3. Movies: Who played Spinner in the Danny DeVito movie "Death to Smoochy"?

Answer: Michael Rispoli

4. Cereal: What cereal had to be pulled from the market when the food coloring turned excrement a bad color?

Answer: Frankenberry

Frankenberry turned feces pink. Corn Fetti used a crystalline coating for sugar on the outside that would cut your mouth. Sugar Corn Pops became Corn Pops and Boo Berry, well, I don't know about Boo Berry.

5. Urban Legends: What is quite kooky about a report urging the government to "Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide"?
