The Roman Empire *started* declining in the 2nd century, but it didn't altogether fall until the 5th century, or much later if you include the Byzantine Empire as part of it. Tricky. > 3. "Kingdom of Heaven", "Becket", "Ivanhoe", "The Lion in Winter". 1100s (12th century). 4 for Dan Blum and Dan Tilque. In "The Lion in Winter", you may remember Katharine Hepburn as Eleanor of Aquitaine saying: "Of course he has a knife. He always has a knife. We all have knives! It's 1183 and we're barbarians!" > 4. Peter Gabriel wrote "In Your Eyes" for this American actress, > and while she was dating a member of the band Toto, they released > a song with her first name as a title. Who is she? Rosanna Arquette. I decided to accept either name. So, 4 for Dan Blum, Marc, Erland, Joshua, and Jason. > 5. She was the muse for the song "Something" by George Harrison and > "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton. She was married to both > men, who wrote many songs for or about her. Name her. Patti Boyd. 4 for Marc, Pete, Joshua, Dan Tilque, and Jason. > On two separate occasions he rented it out to famous friends > in the music industry, who proceeded to die there at age 32. > Name either of those pop stars who died in the flat. "Mama" Cass Elliot, Keith Moon. 4 for Marc and Jason. > The next day he returned, changed one aspect of this act, and > got booed off the stage. Who was he? If you want to show off, > for fun but for no points, also mention what he changed. Bob Dylan. 4 for Peter, Marc, Erland, Pete, Joshua, Dan Tilque, and Jason. He switched to an electric guitar. All of the above except Dan Tilque got this too. > been released. The music, guitar playing, and this musician's > performance dry-humping and burning his guitar, launched him > to immediate stardom.

Jimi Hendrix. 4 for everyone -- Dan Blum, Peter, Marc, Erland, Pete, Joshua, Dan Tilque, and Jason. > the band's name but commonly known as "The Black Album". > Some estimates put the crowd at 2,000,000, the 5th-largest of > all time. Which band was it? Metallica. 4 for Erland, Joshua, and Jason. 2 for Pete. > * Batman Villains > In each case, name the *actor or actress* seen portraying a baddie. All images are either from the 1966-68 TV series "Batman" or the 1966 movie "Batman" that had the same principal cast. > 10. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/gfr7/who/10.jpg Otto Preminger. (As Mr. Freeze, also played on the show by George Sanders and Eli Wallach; and later by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Nathan Darrow.) 4 for Pete. > 11. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/gfr7/who/11.jpg Lee Meriwether. (As Catwoman, also played on the show by Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt; and later, if they all count, by Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Berry, Anne Hathaway, and Camren [sic] Bicondova.) 4 for Pete. > 12. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/gfr7/who/12.jpg Frank Gorshin. (As the Riddler, also played on the show by John Astin; and later by Jim Carrey and Cory Michael Smith.) 4 for Dan Blum, Pete, and Jason. > 13. "Jeopardy!" creator Merv Griffin also composed most of the > show's music. What's the one-word name of the tune that runs > while the contestants write their "Final Jeopardy!" answers? "Think". 4 for Marc, Joshua, and Jason. > 70,000 seasonal white collar employees work only 4 months > a year"? How should he have answered? Remember, this is > "Jeopardy!". What is H&R Block? 4 for Dan Blum, Marc, Joshua, Dan Tilque, and Jason. Jennings had always *done his own taxes* and "seasonal" didn't make him think of tax season. He guessed "What is FedEx?" > 15. Who was the original host of "Jeopardy!", from 1964 to 1975? Art Fleming. 4 for Marc, Pete, Joshua, and Jason. If you aren't old enough to remember that yourself, you might still know it from Weird Al Yankovic's song "I Lost on Jeopardy".

Sure, the guitar thing was a big deal, but I think most of the kerfuffle was about the absolutely awesome polka dot shirt he wore for the second gig. Seriously, its an amazing shirt. |

| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Feb 10 12:39AM -0600 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-12-05, 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 Smith & Guessin' and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have been retyped and/or edited by me.
