He asks questions, I try to answer.
1. Â The family on TV’s Married…with Children was named in honor of what wrestler?
It’s going to be someone named “Bundy,” but not Ted or McGeorge.
2. Â “Theobromine,” meaning “food of the gods,” is the stimulant found in what substance?
Chocolate. Technically cocoa beans, I guess.
3. Â What Best Picture-winning film was based on the short story collection Rope Burns?
Hmmm.
4. Â Who spent 1994 stocking shelves for minimum wage at a Hy-Vee grocery store in Cedar Falls, Iowa?
Hmmmmmm.
5. Â What peninsular nation is home to Al-Jazeera, whose name means “the peninsula”?
I can’t remember if this is Dubai, United Arab Emirates, or if I’m just completely off base.
6. Â What did Emily Dickinson call “the thing with feathers”?
Hope. But not Hope Davis.
7. Â What unusual distinction is shared by these famous people? Â Diamond Jim Brady, Rosey Grier, Woody Guthrie, Howlin’ Wolf, Ted Lilly, Cristiano Ronaldo, Dwight Yoakam, and Andrew Young.
They knit! They costarred with Ray Milland as a two-headed man! Sometimes they call it a sliing blade!
Yeah, I got nothin’.
#4: I could name a bunch, but you’re looking for Kurt Warner.
#7: I think they were all named after US Presidents.
Sports illiteracy strikes again: My first thought was “Kurt who?” But Wikipedia suggests you’re right.
And good call on #7.
