| Gareth Owen <gwowen@gmail.com>: Jun 25 08:44PM +0100 As befits the Third Sunday In June (Fathers Day in the US, UK and probably elsewhere), the answers to this quiz were all noted father/child combinations 1) Starred in After Earth Will and Jaden Smith 2) Le Petit Caporal and the Eaglet Napoleon Bonaparte and Napoleon II (nicknames thereof) 3) Lord Protectors of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland and Ireland Oliver and Richard Cromwell - de facto rulers of the UK during its brief period without a royal family 4) Hit back-to-back home runs for the Seattle Mariners Ken Griffey, and Ken Griffey, Jr. http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/0/v3850052/sea-laa-griffeys-hit-back-to-back-home-runs 5) Appeared in video to Aerosmith's "Crazy" Stephen Tyler (lead singer of Aerosmith) and his soon-to-be-actress daughter Liv. (accepting "Liz Tyler") 6) Commanders of the English forces at the Battle of Crecy Edward III of England, and Edward of Woodstock (the Black Prince) 7) Oscar nominees in 1947 (Mourning Becomes Electra) and 1967 (Georgy Girl) Michael and Lynn Redgrave 8) MPs for Oldham, Manchester Northwest, Dundee, Epping, Woodford, Davyhulme & Stretford (at various points) Winston Spencer Churchill (the first five) and Winston Spencer Churchill (the last two). I'm afraid I screwed this one up. I intended to use the elder Winston and Randolph Churchill (who were father and son), but accidentally gave the constituencies for the younger Winston, who was the elder Winston's grandson. 9) Duetted on Unforgettable Nat "King" Cole and Natalie Cole. Notable that the duet was recorded after Nat had died, by Natalie overdubbing on her fathers tapes. 10) #2 plus #6 John Adams and John Q. Adams. Not accepting "6" for a great many reasons, not least the rules of arithmetic. No one else attempted it, which I think suggests I was being rather too oblique for my own good. Duly noted. 11) Starred in Wall Street Martin and Charlie Sheen 12) Lemon Incest, deeply creepily Serge and Charlottes Gainsbourg. If you really want to know https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon_Incest yeeeeuch Anyway - the scores - each half-answer was worth a whole point: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Total ----------------------------------------- Mark Brader 1 2 2 2 7 Dan Blum 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 16 Peter Smyth 1 1 1 1 4 Calvin 1 2 1 2 2 8 Chris FA Johnson 1 1 2 2 2 8 Marc Dashevsky 2 2 Congratulations to Dan Blum who crushed his enemies, drove them before him and heard the lamentation of their women. |

Wikipedia tells me that it's the second Sunday. Since we have Mother's Day by the end of May and it would be the week before Midsummer (or possibly the same some years) and that is a very important holiday in Sweden, it was relocated to November. Swedish Wikipedia tells me that the date is the same for Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland and Estonia. Whereas in Denmark the date is 5th of June, which surprises me a lot, since that is also the national day of Denmark (or well grundlovdagen, "Constitution Day"). -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |
