Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is Brian's surname?

Answer: Cohen

Only mentioned once in the movie. Interestingly enough, surnames weren't generally used for another 1200 years.

2. Where does Brian's mother suggest they throw the Myrrh?

Answer: In the trough

Somehow she thinks it's a dangerous animal which might bite the baby! Perhaps she dreamed it.

3. Brian described himself as a Red Sea Pedestrian.

Answer: True

When he found out that his father was a Roman, Brian didn't exactly take the news well and insisted he was Jewish, describing himself with several names ending up with Red Sea Pedestrian.

4. What was Loretta's original name?

Answer: Stan

All because he wanted to have a baby. Reg, Francis and Judith were the names of the rest of the People's Front of Judea, a militant group.

5. What snack does Brian not sell?

Answer: Etruscan Fried Bats

He sells Tuscany Fried Bats, but not this central Italian delicacy.

6. What does the woman carry on her back (the one who can't attend the stoning)?

Answer: A Donkey

Brian and his mom bought two points, two flats, and a packet of gravel from the guy selling the beards in this scene.

7. How does Boris win the gladiator contest?

Answer: Gladiator has heart attack

The contest watched by Brian, the People's Front of Judea and the Judean People's Front (Splitter).

8. What didn't the Romans do for us or give to us?

Answer: Police

Although they did bring the peace. Which was jolly nice of them.

9. Sillius Soddus served in the Jerusalem Garrison.

Answer: False

He was a made up name. John Cleese thought Biggus Dickus was a made up name too but he was proven wrong there.

10. How much was the beard that Brian purchased?

Answer: 16 Shekels

And he got a free gourd to boot. Still, he had to haggle a fair bit for it and almost got caught by the Romans.
