| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Jul 09 06:29PM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-06-11, 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 Unnatural Axxxe 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 2019-01-22 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)". * Game 4, Round 4 - Miscellaneous - Father's Day June 16 is Father's Day. We could set this up with a dad joke, but thought we'd spare you. 1. This Danish father and son are the only biological father and son to both win the English Premier league title. They played for different teams, but they won their respective titles in the same position, at the same age, and on the same calendar day. Who are they? 2. This boxer famously named all five of his sons "George Edward" so they would always have something in common. Name the father. 3. This R&B singer had a posthumous duet with his daughter in 1991. Name the father. 4. This emperor, called the "Father of Europe", had at least 20 children of varying degrees of legitimacy. When one of his illegitimate sons, Pepin the Hunchback, was found guilty of plotting to kill him, the emperor commuted his death sentence and instead sent him to a monastery for the rest of his life. Name the emperor. 5. Beheaded in 1535 for treason, this remarkable father gave his daughters the same classical education as he did his son -- which was practically unheard of in 16th-century England. After the father's execution, his daughter Margaret Roper bribed the man tasked with throwing his head in the Thames and gave it a proper burial. Who was that father? 6. This man may be the most prolific father of all time -- 0.8% of the world's population is descended from him. Who is he? 7. This son paid tribute to his 102-year-old father at the Golden Globes this year by saying "Altercockers rule!". "Altercocker" is a Yiddish term for old guy. Name the son. 8. This King of Judea was so paranoid that he killed not only his first wife but three of his sons, causing Emperor Augustus to comment that it was "better to be that man's pig than his son". Name that king. 9. There are a lot of negative things being said about this late father, but the nadir of his parenting was likely dangling his infant son from a balcony. Name the father. 10. This chef's children are Poppy, Buddy, River, Petal, and Daisy. Who is he? * Game 4, Round 6 - Entertainment - Bands that Exist Only on Screen Some of the rockin'est bands in musical history existed only in the minds of the scriptwriters who created them. In this round, we'll name the fictional band and give you the year, and maybe a bit of other information. You name the movie or TV series. 1. Wyld Stallyns (pronounced "Wild Stallions"), 1989. 2. Stillwater, 2000. 3. The Soggy Bottom Boys, 2000. 4. Autobahn, 1998. A band of German nihilists. 5. The Folksmen, 2003. 6. Otis Day and the Nights, 1978. 7. Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, 1979. 8. Marvin Berry and the Starlighters, 1985. Marvin was Chuck's cousin. 9. The Wonders or Oneders, 1996. Mispronounced at one point as "oh-NEED-ers". 10. The Rutles, 1978. We need the part of the title that isn't "The Rutles". -- Mark Brader | "To call the characters cardboard is Toronto | to insult a useful packing material." msb@vex.net | --Roger Ebert My text in this article is in the public domain. |

In the original game the expected answer was 25 but the question asked about her coronation, with was actually about 16 months later when she was 27. (Being a purely ceremonial event, it gets delayed until a convenient date.) I decided to keep the answer and change the question. She's now 93, by the way -- see the specially selected non-random signature quote. > 5. When did Terry Fox's "Marathon of Hope" take place? 1980 (accepting 1979-81). 3 for Joshua. > 6.
