Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Tony

Tony Stewart won the 2002, 2005, and 2011 NASCAR Championships. Tony Blair was the Prime Minister of the U.K. from 1997-2007. My actual birth name is Anthony, but I prefer to be called Tony.

Martin Luther King was assassinated on April 4, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee. The Columbine High School and Virginia Tech University shootings were both in mid-April as well.

3. The name of our oldest cat is the same as that of an actress who starred on "NCIS". What is the first name of the actress who portrayed Caitlin Todd on "NCIS"?

Answer: Sasha

Sasha Alexander starred as Caitlin on "NCIS" from 2003 to 2012, and as Pacey's sister Gretchen on "Dawson's Creek" from 2000 to 2001. Sasha Baron Cohen is another famous Sasha; he has starred in "Borat" (2006) and as the innkeeper Thenardier in the 2012 film "Les Miserables".

4. Our new baby kitten shares his name with a short-lived Hanna-Barbera cartoon sidekick. What was the name of the sidekick to Godzilla in the 1978 "Godzilla: The Animated Series"?

Answer: Godzooky

Although we have changed the spelling of his name to Godzuki, my wife still cited this series as the reference for his name. The series was a joint U.S./Japan production that ran for two seasons in the United States in 1978 and 1979. Godzooky was the nephew of Godzilla and was sort of clumsy.

Whenever Godzooky would try to breathe fire he would just wind up blowing out a little smoke. He was a cute lighthearted character.

Answer: Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt had been out of office for a few years when he got chosen by the Progressive Party to run again. Roosevelt was campaigning in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in October of 1912, when he was shot. The bullet went through his steel eyeglass case and a 50-page folded copy of his speech, which absorbed much of the blow, and lodged into his chest. Roosevelt never had the bullet removed as it was just lodged into the chest muscle, and he continued giving his speech that day without immediate medical attention. We have chosen the name Theodore as the name of our first boy, when we decide to have children.

6. If our first child is a girl, we have chosen a name whose English meaning is "exalted one". Which name below is the same as a character portrayed by Kaley Cuoco on "8 Simple Rules"

Answer: Bridget

Bridget, or rather Brigette (which is the spelling variation we have chosen), means "exalted one" and originates from Gaelic. Bridget Hennessy is the character portrayed by Cuoco on "8 Simple Rules". Rory and Kerry were Bridget's brother and sister, played by Martin Spanjers and Amy Davidson, respectively. Penny is Kaley Cuoco's character on "The Big Bang Theory". We chose Brigette as the name of our first female child.

Answer: James

James Brown was an American musician known for his Billboard Hot 100 number four hit "Living in America". James Taylor is known for such songs as "Fire and Rain", "Carolina in My Mind", and "Sweet Baby James". James Joyce is famous for his book "Ulysses", among other works. Actor James Garner appeared in the 2004 film "The Notebook".

8. Teresa is the name of my mother, and is the same first name as the wife of a famous NASCAR driver. Which NASCAR great was married to a woman named Teresa Houston?
