Digest for rec.games.trivia@googlegroups.com - 15 updates in 6 topics

msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Apr 19 11:25PM -0500

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-11-16,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
 
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
 
All questions were written by members of the Bloor St. Irregulars,
and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may
have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information
see my 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
 
 
* Game 8, Round 9 - History - Cryptic Clues on Roman and Greek Mythology
 
Here are ten cryptic-style clues where the answer is from Roman
or Greek mythology. Each clue consists of a cryptic hint to the
mythological person or thing, as well as another clue to help you
get the answer, run together as if they refer to the same thing.
 
1. It's the spear of Poseidon that 4 out of 5 dentists recommend.
 
2. This is the race of Gods that preceded the Olympians and who
play their games at Nissan Stadium, Nashville.
 
3. This is the race of warriors that was led by Hippolyta with
the help of Jeff Bezos.
 
4. This Roman goddess, one of Botticelli's favorites, is the
brightest object in the night sky apart from the Moon.
 
5. An inhabitant of a city destroyed by the Greeks, who provides
a means of birth control and disease prevention.
 
6. This winged goddess can be found in Beaverton, Oregon, and was
formerly known as Blue Ribbon Sports.
 
7. She was the first human woman created by the Greek gods and
she opened our ears to an online radio station that caters to
your tastes.
 
8. A warmth-loving, long-lived bird that is the largest state
capital city in the US by municipal population.
 
9. The adopted last name of Farrokh Bulsara who was the Roman
equivalent of Hermes.
 
10. This Greek warrior in the Trojan War won the 1995 European
Champions League and can also be found 40 km eastnortheast
of Toronto.
 
 
* Game 8, Round 10 - Challenge Round - A Little Bit of This
& a Little Bit of That
 
Each week, we pigeonhole questions into categories like geography,
science, etc. But questions commonly combine a little bit of one
category and a little bit of another. Here are some crossover
questions that lie on the interface of two categories.
 
A. Science & Literature
 
A1. Which Asian herb of the family Pedaliaceae is closely
associated with a poor woodcutter from the "Arabian Nights"?
 
A2. Which member of the mint family Lamiaceae is closely

asleep reading a book that adapted Marco Polo's historical
accounts, and then based a poem on his dream?
 
B2. Which real-life title hero of an 1860 poem "silently rowed
to the Charlestown shore, just as the Moon rose over
the bay"?
 
C. History & Sports
 
C1. The World's Fair that was known as the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition, and the first Olympic Games to be held in the
US, both took place in the same city in the same year.
Name *either* the city or the year.
 
C2. Name either country that took part in the Soccer War of
1969, a war that lasted about 100 hours and coincided with
a qualifying game between them for the 1970 World Cup.
 
D. Sports & Entertainment
 
D1. The highest-grossing sports movie of all time was a 2009
movie that was based on a book by Michael Lewis. Name the
movie.
 
D2. "Win one for the Gipper!" is a quote from the 1940 movie
"Knute Rockne, All American". Which college or university's
football team did George "the Gipper" Gipp play for, before
he died at the age of 25?
 
E. Entertainment & Geography
 
E1. Which one word, related to geography, features in the titles
of three different movies starring Ben Stiller, David
Schwimmer, and Chris Rock? (That is, the all three actors
performed in all three movies.)
 
E2. By what one-word name, related to geography, do we
collectively know Dewey Bunnell, Dan Peek, and Gerry Beckley?
 
F. Geography & Science

msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Apr 19 08:45PM -0500

You still have over 14 hours to enter RQ 217 as I repost this.
See the original posting for further details.
 
For questions #1-6, see:
 
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/rq217/handout.jpg
 
1. Give the manufacturer for 1 point and the model name for 3.
 
2. Name the character for 3 points, and the 2010 fantasy movie
that introduced her for 1.
 
3. Give its common name in English.
 
4. Who is this? 1 point each, up to a maximum of 3, for the first
and last names of the character and the actress; 1 point for
the title of the 1951 movie.
 
5. What is it?
 
6. What title has been blanked out?
 
7. Two words with the same etymology and very similar spellings.
One refers to an object many of which can be found in our solar
system, the other to a type of hypocycloid curve. Give either
word for 3 points, or both (in the order indicated) for 4.
Exact spelling required.
 
8. The later seasons of the TV series "Star Trek: Voyager" featured
a regular character who had been liberated from the Borg.
For 2 points, name the lab where this character often worked
-- one that was created especially to suit her expertise.
For 2 points more, give her name. (The short one-word name
her friends would use in conversation will do for 1 point;
for the full 2 points give either a longer form of this name
or else her original first and last name before she was a Borg.)
 
9. What invertebrate sea creature commonly has 5 arms? Give its
common name in English.
 
10. Complete this line from a 1952 musical-comedy movie:
 
"'People'? I ain't 'people'! I am a shimmering, glowing..."
 
(There are 10 more words, and you need to get most of them right
for the full 4 points, but the next word alone is worth 1 point.)
 
11. In 1999 in the US, President Clinton was impeached on (and
acquitted of) charges of perjury and obstruction of justice.
The independent counsel and special prosecutor whose
investigations led to the charges is now a president himself
-- president and chancellor of Baylor University. Who is he?
1 point for the first name, 3 for the surname.
 
12. The fictional newspaper the "Daily Planet", where Superman
worked in his secret identity as Clark Kent, was named after
what real-life newspaper? Give either its present name or its
name at the time. 1 point for the city, 3 points for the rest
of the name.
 
13. This movie was nominated for 5 Oscars, winning one for visual
effects, and counted among its executive producers an emeritus
Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech, whose
ideas were featured in the story. Name the movie for 3 points
and the professor for 1.
 
By now you should have noticed that this quiz has a theme.
For each of questions #13-16, give a single word that fits the
theme and names the thing described. In one case there are two
possible answers; for that question give either one for 3 points
or both for 4.
 
14. This is when people who want to promote something, such
as a commercial product or a political position, attempt to
simulate the appearance that it has widespread popular support.
For example, they might post messages on computerized media
using many different false identities.
 
15. The Jetsons' dog.
 
16. Catastrophe.
 
17. *
 
18. (Tiebreaker.) Explain in complete detail the etymology behind
answer #14.

Belfort Instrument Company
727 South Wolfe Street
Baltimore, MD 21031
 
Ebosswatch.com rating with Belfort Instrument Company
http://www.ebosswatch.com/Reviews/Mark-W.-Decker/1412568293
Rated by his peers as "Unfavorable" in 7 different job categories
 
And now Belfort Instrument Company (dba DigiWx AWOS, Gamma
Scientific, UDT Instruments, Advanced Retro, RoadVista, KR
Acquisition Corporation) finds itself in United States Bankruptcy
Court as evidenced by:
http://www.amrcaseinfo.com/pdflib/1631_15463.pdf
 
Belfort Instrument Company financials are so BAD that CEO Bruce R.
Robinson has his primary residence in a trust as noted at:
http://www.city-data.com/bernalillo-county/P/Paa-Ko-Drive-2.html
 
You might ask "Why would someone put their home in a Trust?" at:
http://belfort-instrument-company.pissedconsumer.com/belfort-instrument
 
"Belfort's owners have "valuables" (like their homes) held in a trust
to prevent creditors (in this case, the bank that lent Belfort
Instrument Company all that money) from seizing their personal
home(s) when Belfort can't pay back the business loans. In the case
of Belfort Instrument Company, this was a smart move (some might
consider this a sneaky move also) because I pulled Belfort's credit
reports from the 3 main credit bureaus and Belfort is currently
delinquent and "past due" with several creditors by more than 90
days and in some cases 120 days. This means the money isn't coming
in fast enough from sales to pay for the company's debts. I even
found notes that some of Belfort's creditors are on a "cash only
basis" meaning Belfort needs to cough up money for goods and services
(raw materials) before another company will even sell them those goods
and services. This is NOT a pretty picture. This has been going on
for years. If you would be inclined to buy finished product from
Belfort, you may find a company which doesn't stand behind that
product because they went out of business. Info from Dun & Bradstreet
indicates turnover in this very small privately-held company at the
managerial and executive level so people's heads are probably
rolling there and it is likely only a matter of time before this
business is no more!
 
So who was driving these companies into the hole...... because there
is a common theme here...... his name is Mark W. Decker...... and he
lives at: 289 Long Point Road, Crownsville, MD 21032-1853. Call for
a personal appointment if you'd like to see how he can drive your
organization off a cliff!
 
Wanker Mark W. Decker Shatters World Masturbation Record
http://mark.w.decker.mediafetcher.com/news/top_stories/worldrecord.php
 
ATTENTION: Mark Wilson Decker is apparently posing as a photographer
based upon his Workface, LinkedIn, Posterous, Twitter About.me,
BigSight, Ziki, tBlog and Wordpress profiles --- just goes to show
you how sneaky AND creepy he really is! He's an unemployed fired POS!
 
WHAT WOULD MARK W. DECKER BE TRYING TO HIDE???
 
Well, have a LOOK at this:
Two federal cases that specifically mention Mark W. Decker:
U.S. Department of Labor Case # 2006-SOX-57
U.S. Department of Labor Case # 2006-SOX-81
 
According to:
http://www.mombu.com/aviation/civil-aviation/t-faa-dol-osha-fdic-doj-
investigating-belfort-instrument-digiwx-awos-10453477.html
 
Mark Wilson Decker was investigated for:
 
"FAA is investigating Belfort Instrument President Mark W. Decker and
Digiwx AWOS Tech M. Tylor Burton for bribing federal FAA officials."
"DOL is investigating Belfort Instrument President Mark W. Decker
for retaliating after suing a former employee who ratted Decker
Pecker out under a federal whistleblower protection program."
Did Bruce R. Robinson, Nicholas C. Kaufman, Debra S. Alascio Lange,
Ralph F. Petragnani and M. Tylor Burton aid in this conspiracy?
 
And there is MORE:
All the info contained herein has been published in some form
since at least 2005. Mark Wilson Decker gave up any legal right
(he may now be asserting) a long time ago that this info is
injurious to him or his family since the statute of limitations
to bring a libel lawsuit is 1 year in each of the 50 U.S. states.

Mark W. Decker has a boat named Spoony:
http://www.boatinfoworld.com/registration.asp?vn=96438
 
What do you think the chances are that he has already
"spooned" and felt-up all three of his daughters (Audrey,
Hannah and Libby Decker) aboard his boat with his "vessel"
which he has a propensity to play with.... even in public!
Let's see if this causes Mark Kacucha some legal trouble:
 
Belfort President Mark W. Decker (U.S. Naval Academy alumnus), let
me tell you about this lowlife. Starts the workday between 9-10AM
by checking work and personal email. Come 11-11:30AM, he's ready
to go to the local gym to work out. Gets back in the office around
1PM and only then decides to take a lunch break as if the gym work-
out didn't count for a lunch break. By 1:30PM, he's checking work and
personal email and maybe making a few entires in his family diary
which he keeps at work on the company hard drive. Come 3-4PM, he's
getting anxious and is looking to wrap up his workday so he can go
home and coach soccer league for one of his three daughters.
Needless to say, all thru-out his "playful" workday, one gets to
see all his dirty nasty habits including:
 
1) scratching his balls,
2) stroking his c o c k,
3) farting (and then asking someone else if they farted),
4) belching,
5) biting his fingernails,
6) picking his nose (and eating the choice boogies),
7) scratching his ass,
8) picking at his toenails
9) coughing (he has a chronic productive cough... yuck)
10) he has kidney stones (and urinates with pain)
 
Now keep in mind that this is a US Naval Academy graduate (Class of
1979) who's motto is "don't do as I do" but "do as I say!" Makes
complete sense because he superiors in the U.S. Navy recognized his
lack of leadership very early on. That's why Lt. Decker didn't last
in the U.S. Navy and decided to enter the corporate world where he
could use his skills of conniving, lying, denying, concealing,
deceiving, and making things up!
 
Let's get this straight, he been with at least three different
companies over the past dozen years, all where he had a hand in
running them into the ground. Doesn't a midshipman know how to steer
a boat to prevent it from running into the ground? He's been with:
 
1) Unc, Inc.
2) Mentor Technologies
3) Belfort Instruments
 
And now there appears to be evidence that he either resigned or
was fired from Belfort Instrument Company for "poor performance."
Seems like he spent four years trying to sell DigiWx and DigiWx AWOS
and was a miserable failure at all of it while dragging down the
finances for the rest of the Belfort company. It's easy to conclude
that Mark W. Decker is "all that and a bag of chips" along with
some "s h i t" salza on the side!
 
How many freakin passes does this lowlife (who was born with a silver
spoon in his mouth) get? What kind of role m o d e l is he for his
three daughters Audrey, Hanna, and Libby Decker? And how about his
wife Jennifer Racey who decided to keep her maiden name (maybe
because she knew about the lowlife she married).
 
Why do we have lowlifes like Mark W. Decker around? This guy thinks
he the best thing since sliced bread. He doesn't think his s h i t
stinks and he doesn't think too highly of woman in general either.
Wonder how he'll explain that one to his three daughters one day?
 
Mark W. Decker (the "w" stands for "wiener" which he scratches)
Jennifer L. Racey (probably wife)
289 Long Point Road (assessed value of $968,280 as of 1/1/05)
Crownsville, MD 21032-1853
DOB: January 7, 1957 according to http://anybirthday.com
 
And then we have this:
Hannah, Audrey & Libby Decker (daughters) were found dead in a
second family home owned by Ralph P. Decker, Mary Ann Decker, Mark
W. Decker and Jennifer L. Racey according to land records available
from the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation. No
immediate cause of d e a t h was available. The second family home
is located at: 11 Silverwood Circle SILVERWOOD Unit 3, Building 11,
SC 3, Annapolis, MD 21403.
 
No explanation was available about how Hannah, Audrey & Libby Decker
ended up in this second family home versus the other family home at
289 Long Point Road, Crownsville, MD 21032-1853 which is noted as
being the family's primary residence according to land records
available from the Maryland State Department of Assessments and
Taxation.

Lastly, we have this:
Belfort Instruments Digiwx has t-shirts emblazoned with the phrase:
"The Wright Brothers Relied on Us"
 
American history seems to tell a very different story!
 
There is a press release with President Mark W. Decker
name on it as the contact at:
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2003/6/prweb67805.php
 
Mr. Decker says "The Wright Brothers monitored these
(i.e. Belfort's) instruments as they prepared for
their famous flight on December 17th, 1903."
 
THIS IS COMPLETE BULL-SHIT (Mark W. Decker style)
 
Here is what the Wright Brothers really wrote
on December 17, 1903:
 
"We had a 'Richard' hand anemometer with which we
measured the velocity of the wind. Measurements made
just before starting the first flight showed velocities
of 11 to 12 meters per second, or 24 to 27 miles per
hour. Measurements made just before the last flight
gave between 9 and 10 meters per second. One made just
after showed a little over 8 meters."
 
And then there is that indisputable picture of:
WILBUR WRIGHT USING A RICHARD'S ANEMOMETER (picture)
http://wings.avkids.com/Book/Wright/history1_19012.html
 
Belfort Instrument Company President Mark W. Decker
is trying to re-write history to include mention of
Belfort and/or Friez. This is a shame and a sham!
Buy anything except Belfort Instrument Digiwx AWOS
from Bruce R. Robinson and company.

Mark came all the way across town to attend Canoe U. Plebe year he
became a news column regular from a starting position on the varsity
soccer team and co- captain of the plebe lax team. Youngster year
brought endless hours of study and a permanent nickname, " Max."
He strove to max all he did and was involved in everything from hang
gliding to " 4 pts. " and stars and strips. His home became the
refuge for many youngster autos and drunk classmates, none the
less the welcome mat was always out, and the hospitality was
deeply appreciated. Second class year saw the dawning of the
star fleet command of which Max was the CO. Even though Mark
had female pussy connections in nearly every college in Maryland
and Virginia, his 20-10 was primarily focused on the Ivy Leagues.
Whether commanding a squadron or managing a corporation,
you can bet Max will maximize and run it into the ground.

I saw where Mark W. Decker is now working at Belfort Instrumentation
as I always wonder where he went after skipping out of Dodge City
just barely when he left Mentor Technologies. If he hadn't left
in 2001, Decker would have been shown the exit after his dismal
performance at Mentor. The thing I will always remember about Decker
was his passion for playing pocket pool, the kind one plays when
they have something nasty growing in their crotch out of control. I
mean get some Desenex or something for that jungle rot. He was
absolutely icky just watching him work his hands in his pants pocket
as he attempted to reach his private parts in search of a much
needed scratch. Several coworkers wondered exactly why he scratched

No clue. As for Chicago, it's an intersection of State and Madison
Streets. No specific building there that would determine. But since
Chicago is on a grid system, it's the 0,0 point on an X,Y axis.

Depends on the city doesn't it? I guess you are looking for the city

OK, so I did this quiz in a hurry while a colleague was trying to
find an avilable meeting room. "Sax" here does not refer to the
musical instrument, but an occasional regression into Swedish where
"sax" is the word for "scissors". In the Swedish version of the game
we prefer to use a small bag rather than paper.

And I guess you also meant "stone, bag" rather than imagining a stone bag!
