Questions of Biology
by There is always a teacher that you could see yourself as an adult. (well at least for me there is.) My biology teacher Mr. C is one of them. He tells us stories of things he did when he was our age (he's really only like 26.) It mirrors things that i have only just recently done. It's really quite sad. But to move things along, perhaps when i am his age i will know tons of senseless trivia he seems to know. As an extra credit assignment (10 points on our next test) he gave us all these questions to find answers to. I thought since there is such a diverse amount of people here, that maybe some of you would know the answers. Here they are :
1)What was Mickey Mouse's original name?
2)The offical drink of the Indianopolis 500.
3)The name of the lead actor in African Queen (the movie).
4)Name of the town Bilbo Baggins came from.
5) The catch-phrase from Highlander (movie, i think.)
6)The lead male and female actors in Russian House (movie)
7)The playwright of The Dolls House. (play)
8)What year did Jesse Owens win the Olympic medal?
9)Which Beatle is barefoot on the Abbey Roads album? (one for dave.)
10)The girls name in To Kill A Mockingbird. (book and movie)
11)The name of the penguin in the cartoon Woody Woodpecker.
12) In Howdie Doodie, the princess's name (The t.v show.)
If anyone for any odd reason happens to know these answeres, please help me get an A on my next test.

wasnt African Queen that movie with Humfry Bogart and Katherine.. something.. i cnat remember...
Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn were in the African Queen and on the Abbey Road cover, Paul McCartney is barefoot (a "Paul is Dead clue")
I do believe I said that part about Paul.
Just confirming, kiddo...
haha, listen to dean... " I do believe " hahaha whatcha turning british on us?
only when talking of Beatles and such.
dave, please explain the whole "paul is dead" phenomenon to me, i just don't get it.
Wow... in a nutshell, an American DJ put together "clues" from the Beatles albums from Rubber Soul onward that showed that Paul was dead and replaced by a look-alike/sound-alike. There are some web-sites dedicated to the whole thing, I'll get the URLs of a few good ones and post them. I'm reading the Beatles Anthology book, and Paul and George make some interesting comments from their POV on it... basically Paul couldn't get married without everyone knowing so how could they cover up his death? Paul makes some great comments ("Well, I'll just tell everyone I'm alive"... "No, Paul, they'll say it's your replacement")
Couple of URLS... http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Cavern/1176/pauldead.htm and http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Towers/4816/pauldead.htm are pretty good...
4) Hobbiton (not Bag End that's the name of his hole)5) Scout is the name of the little girl in To Kill a Mockingbird. I'm almost without a doubt sure her full name is Jean Lousie (spelling?) Finch.

Man..Julie you certainly know how to earn your extra credit.
thanks everybody. but special thanks to computer whiz, ian. who managed to get me all the correct answers and 10 pts on my test. YEAHHAHA! (and all the munchkins rejoice.)
I think for the most part Ian just consolidated all our comments and threw a couple in...
now you have to help me on MY tests!!!!!
you owe me big time!
just a little update. one of your answers were wrong. the offical drink of the Indianopolis 500 is MILK! so weird. i don't think i can even understand the title to your classes mike.
i don't know about that one, julia. if u check out ian's post, and check out the link for "Pepsi," you'll see it listed as the official soft drink. Milk is what the race winner drinks in the winner's circle. I'd question your teacher further...
well that's what we got credit for and luckily i had checked my stuff with other people and they told me it was milk, so i still got the 10 pts. i don't feel the need to question because then mine would be wrong. so, BAD IDEA brian.
i'm sorry. you weren't clear that you had already been graded. i thought you DIDN'T get the 10 pts. because 'one of your answers was wrong'. absolutely don't question it now. (so send my his email address so I can question him. jk)
haha, i know, right? i hate when teacher's want "their" answer, instead of the correct one.
teachers *>rolls eyes<* and what is an A, what does it really mean?
ok, umm...*shakes device*...umm, here we go...no, that's not right...*shakes again*...UGH! my julia decoder ring is busted. can someone help me out, please?!?
im confused by the fact that your confused
im confused that all of u r confused.....
thanks to all the confusion, i was able to get this thing workin' again. u just have to know where to put the pauses...
psycho, i am not a confusing person. nobody else got lost. also, it was a line from The Cosby Show. that's one of denise's boyfriends motto.
First basically what your saying is you wanna be a man and 2. why cant your use the break tags? im not sifting through all that junk u wrote
well first because men are JUST so amazing and never make mistakes that i just wanna be them and 2 I don't know how to use break tags. if you wanna help me learn, i'll use em.
put a <br> at the end of a line to put in a line break.
yes u have learned, now go edit above!
better everyone? i like brian's suggestion because when i don't know how to do stuff that i know all of you do, it makes me mad. so if you all went and fixed it.....
new eZabel suggestion: i wanna be able to edit julia's journals so there are break tags for her. that'll leave her more time for creativity.
man, do i sound like a sukup or what?
how about a better suggestion: make it so we don't have to type in html tags for simple formatting.
can you clean my room and spoon feed me too ian? HAHAHA
i don't like that idea. but if u do it, how about an option to allow tags for those of us who are still practicing
of course, you'd still be able to type in html, but do you really need to practice <p> and <br> more than you already have? wouldn't it be nice if you could just put enters into your comments/journals and it'd format them?
once again, i bow to your superior intellect! i wasn't thinking of that
hahaha, thanks for the bow... dork :P
really nice! i give u a compliment, and you poke me in the eye! well, dork to u 2!
so then do something worthwhile...don't spend your life on the computer. I only do it because I HAVE to be on the computer all day for work.
it's called distraction. i've been working on TWO term papers this week, both of which are due thursday. everyone once and a while, i need a quick distraction and it's either go outside in the rain, or click on eZabel and check the latest and greatest. it ain't no thang!
YEA jen! what up NOW?!?!?!?
ooo i like that idea. then you guys can't use your superior computer knowledge on us unknowledgable.
