Try your hand at these brain-busting trivia questions. Remember, please, that you may not google or use any reference sources for the first 24 hours of this thread. -1. Named for an African animal and introduced in 1959, what was the first Chevrolet model to be given an animal name? -2. Which NFL team sang backup on and appeared in the video for the 1986 Huey Lewis and the News hit “Hip to be Square”? -3. Which Caribbean island is the home of the active volcano Mount Pelée? -4. What name is shared by a folk singer and a U.S. senator from Illinois who was known for wearing bow ties and heavy-rimmed glasses? -5. What was the signature outfit of the Fonz on Happy Days? -6. Is the claw of a hammer a lever, a wedge, or an inclined plane? -7. When an official complained that the walls of his structure were not high enough to display some of the art, Frank Lloyd Wright suggested they cut the pieces in half. Name the building. -8. Most people think biscotti is Italian for “biscuits”. What does it really mean? -9. Which American first lady drew fire for using her astrologer to dictate the president’s appearances? -10. What Canadian brigantine became the “ghost ship” after it was found in Spanish waters in pristine shape – but whose captain and crew had vanished?
The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

6. I'm going to say lever and wedge. Inclined plane has to have straight flat sides.
Bob As I've grown older, I've found that my memory is not as good as I used to think it was.

7. Guggenheim Museum. Hey Bob, imagine a girly girl trying to tell us guys about hammers. Phooey The only time they use a hammer is when they take off their shoe and use the heel.
