Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I bet Terry never told you that he served in WWII under a General whose name was also Terry, and that he was commander of the 1st Infantry Division. The 1st has a nickname, it went by the name of a film directed by Samuel Fuller. Did Terry ever tell you what that is?
2. I bet Terry never told you that he attended Central Michigan University in the 1970s, or even that he wrote a musical there called, "Orchestrina", played Freeman Smith in the Tom Cruise film "All the Right Moves" in 1983 or in the 1990's he played Howard Hughes in "The Rocketeer"? I bet he didn't even tell you that he's best known for his portrayal of John Locke in the television show, "Lost"? However, did you know his birth name actually isn't O'Quinn? Do you know what it is?
3. Man! Terry is just full of surprises. Get this: he told me his parents named him after an airport, in the British Virgin Islands. His name isn't actually Terry but Terrance, and apparently he's a thirteen year old boy. Man, he really can tell stories. So, I wonder what the full name of that airport is?
4. Terry told me he has an unincorporated town four miles from Webster, Florida named after him. I looked on the map and I could only find one place that shares its zip code with Webster but it isn't called "Terry". What is it called, I wonder...?
5. Did Terry ever tell you that he was the subject of a pirate story? I asked him, "What? Are You One-Eyed Terry?" He replied, "Goonies rule! but no. An actual comic strip from 1934!" Terry looks younger than he apparently is but do you know what comic strip he's talking about?
6. Terry was telling me how he married Superman. It sounded quite strange. So, he told me that they did this documentary on him and Superman back in the 1990s, for four years. I said, "Four years?!" and he said, "Yep. From September 12, 1993 to June 14, 1997." I thought those dates were awfully specific, and he said, "When they aired it they called it "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman"." I yelled at Terry, "That's not a documentary! That's a TV show starring Dean Cain and..."?
7. So, Terry was telling me about Tommy Johnson who sold his soul to the devil at a crossroad in Mississippi. Now Terry, being the joker that he is, was telling me how he wrote the lyrics to the popular song written by Blues man Robert Johnson. Either Terry is really old or he's just straight out lying -- I'm thinking the latter. Anyway, what town was Tommy Johnson born in?
8. So, Terry just told me that he's actually a transsexual English ventriloquist who was born in Ipswich in 1937. His/Her dummy was named Shorty Harris. Can you believe this guy...gal...whatever? Who does Terry think he is now, I wonder?
9. Now Terry is telling me he's this semi-famous poet who wrote under the pseudonym Rose Cooke, and that his book "The Mormon's Wife" brought tears to many an eye. He told me to guess his middle name. Guess what I said.
10. This just takes the cake! Now Terry is telling me that he created this website. Yeah! Funtrivia. Can you believe that? Man! He even told me the year it was first launched way back in ...?
