Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This "Blue Lagoon" star didn't quite have her thoughts together when she made this statement. "Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life." Who was this?

Answer: Brooke Shields

This was actually given the distinct honor of being one of the stupidest quotes ever. Brooke was born in 1965 and started her career as an Ivory baby. She played the role of Emmeline in "The Blue Lagoon" and went on to star in her own television series, "Suddenly Susan" in 1996. Hey, even Brooke is allowed to mess up once.

2. Feel the moment. You're getting ready for the big game. You need your team to line up. You yell out to the team: "You guys line up alphabetically by height." I guess anything goes in a locker room. Who exactly made this quote?

Answer: Bill Peterson for Florida State

William Peterson was born in 1920. He coached for Florida State from 1960 to 1970. He was known as the 'Coach of all Coaches'. Bill not only used this quote but several over the years of coaching that made you think, 'Is he for real?'

He once quoted Patrick Henry with this quote, "Kill me or let me live". As they say, anything goes.

Answer: Arnold Schwarzenegger

Now call me crazy, but if I heard this quote, I really don't think he would have gotten my vote. This is California and I know, anything goes, but I'd have to wonder just how many times he got hit in the head, as the 'Terminator'.

Arnold was born in 1947 in Austria. He took up body building and took the role of Mr. Olympia and Mr. Universe before taking the role of The Terminator. He was elected Governor on November 17, 2003.

Answer: Charles de Gaulle

Charles was President of France from 1959 to 1969. He was born in 1890 in Lille, France. He married Yvonne and had three children, Philippe, Elisabeth and Anne. He passed away on November 9, 1970 after many years of service to his country. I guess after so many battles, you're allowed one little slip on a quote.

Answer: Lee Iacocca

Lido, also known as Lee, Iacocca came up with a bunch of cute one liners that just had you chuckle. "People want economy and they will pay any price to get it" was another one.

Lee was not only a businessman, but a good one too. He was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania back in 1924. He worked with Ford Motor Company in his earlier years. He brought back the Chrysler Corporation when it was failing. He wrote many books including his autobiography, "Iacocca: An Autobiography". He was married three times over the years, but only had two children with his first wife, Mary.

6. I know that boxers put up with a few blows to the head, but who made this statement? "I was in a no-win situation, so I'm glad that I won rather than lost."

Answer: Frank Bruno

Franklin Bruno, who was born in 1961 in England, won exactly 40 fights during his career. He won his debut fight against Lupe Guerra on March 17, 1982. He continued knocking out his opponents until he went against James Smith in 1984 - his first defeat after a whopping 21 wins. His final fight was against Mike Tyson in 1996, which he lost in the third round.

7. This American blonde singer actually does have blonde roots, especially when we heard her make this statement, "I get to go to lots of overseas places, like Canada." Who was this singer?

Answer: Britney Spears

Britney made this statement in "Blender Magazine", for the whole world to read. Britney, I know 'anything goes', but what sea do you have to fly over to get to Canada?

Britney never fails to keep us in shock. With her 55 hour marriage and then her 'head shaving' outburst. Nope, nothing shocks me anymore with this young singer.

Answer: Ivana Trump

Ivana Trump was born in 1949 in Czechoslovakia. Her claim to fame came about when she married her second husband, Donald Trump, in 1977. Ivana and 'the Donald' divorced in 1992. Ivana commented in the movie, "First Wives' Club", "don't get mad, get everything!" describing how she divorced.

Ivana has the 'anything goes' attitude with her great quotes, including, "Looking good is the best revenge". I'll agree with that one Ivana!

Answer: President George W. Bush

You can even watch this video of President Bush at this link. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uO46ii3W07U

President George W. Bush became the 43rd President of the United States on January 20, 2001. We even elected him twice! We must have enjoyed his 'anything goes' comments. He was succeeded by Barack Obama in 2009.

10. This is one of the classics by a fine baseball player. Who made this statement? "Predictions are difficult. Especially about the future."

Answer: Yogi Berra

Yogi Berra played with the New York Yankees from 1946 to 1963. He was awarded the American League Most Valuable Player three times.

Lawrence Peter Berra, or as we know him as, Yogi, was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1925. He played with the NY Mets for one season also. He was inducted in the Hall of Fame in 1972. He had quite a few great quotes that made you say, 'Wow, anything goes' with this baseball player.
