The Quiz Part 10

Greetings, the year is quickly drawing to a close once more and the month of November is here again. As such, it is time for the annual quiz on my blog. This is the tenth time you have been tested with some questions on pop culture and general knowledge. Joh was crowned the winner last year with Aaron securing second position as the runner up and Mark came in third place. Don’t forget to put your scores in the comments and we will see if there is a shake up in the scoreboard this time around.

In other blog related news, I am currently working on my Christmas entry for the Write Wise challenge as is the tradition of our blogging community. The story is taking shape nicely but it still has quite a bit to go before it can be published. Unlike last year’s story, Hotel Americana, this new project is an original series. It has a pretty unique plot and it is full of new characters which are some of the most bizarre, outlandish as well as controversial ones I have yet created. It is also a hallmark for my Write Wise ‘career’ as it is going to be my 30th entry on the site and I still have many more different ideas for the years to come. Now, on to the quiz and beware of the answers below.

1. Dr Frank N Furter is just a sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania but who played this musical villain in the 1975 film adaptation of the Rocky Horror Picture Show?

2. Who said this? - “Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?”

3. Which battle, fought in 1815, effectively ended Napoleon Bonaparte’s reign as the French Emperor?

4. Which of these Frasier actors portrayed the Simpson’s villain, Robert Terwilliger, who is best known as Sideshow Bob? A. Kelsey Grammer, B. David Pierce C. John Mahoney

5. Discounting the special episodes, how many series of the BBC comedy Blackadder are there?

6. Which race of aliens from the time travelling show Doctor Who are known for their genocidal plans for conquest of the universe and their battle cry of ‘Exterminate! Exterminate!”?

7. Name the character.

Name the character.

8. Unscramble the letters to reveal an actor- OTM SHANK

9. In the November of 1957 the USSR launched Laika into space and later immortalized her with a monument in 2008 but what type of animal was she?

10. The late great Stan Lee was one of most the important figures in creating which universally known comic book company?

Spoilers!

1. Tim Curry

2. Indiana Jones

3. The Battle of Waterloo

4. A. Kelsey Grammer

5. Four series

6. The Daleks

7. Gonzo

8. Tom Hanks

9. A dog

10. Marvel Comics

Thanks for your comments and for taking part in the quiz! This years seems to have gone in fairly quickly and November arrived in no time at all. I still have some chapters to write for my new story, which I would describe as more in the comedic genre, but I hope to have everything ready for the Christmas challenge deadline.

Dang - I got 7/10 this year.

Like Aaron, I also couldn't remember the name of Waterloo. I didn't know Gonzo or Kelsey Grammer either.

Nice quiz!

I'm also looking forward to your next story. It sounds risky (in a good way, I think).

Looking forward to reading your story, especially given that it sounds like you're trying something different and unconventional. It's always good when we get unique and fresh ideas on Write Wise.

Also, it's hard to believe it's the Quiz time of the year already. Not quite sure where this year has gone ...

Afraid I will not be winning any prizes this year. :( I got a piddling 5/10. I'm kind of disappointed for forgetting the name of the Battle of Waterloo.

9/10 - I only got one wrong because I misread the question! Oh well, an improvement on last year! :)
