It's been ages (almost three months!) since I posted some trivia for the entertainment-starved masses who frequent this site. I guess that means this is overdue! I'm gonna make it a potpourri of trivia today, so as to provide a little something for everyone. Answers will be posted by Monday end-of-day, so get your guesses/answers in before then.
1) The last 3 Stanley Cup Finals have featured Canadian teams losing to American ones. Name the 3 Canadian hockey entrants in those series.
2) What classic movie popularized the expression, "That's a horse of a different colour"?
3) What state was the fictional "Twin Peaks" located in?
4) What was the original name for the band that eventually became known as "The Beatles" (pre-"Silver Beetles")?
5) Which Marvel super-hero had the Mandarin as his arch-foe?
6) Which two teams battled for the 2006 Major League Baseball World Series title?
7) What movie brought us the line, "I am not an animal! I am a human being!"?
8) What well-known TV writer co-wrote the screenplay for "Toy Story"?
9) Who were the five original X-Men in the 1960s comic series?
10) What other famous singer died in the same plane crash with Buddy Holly, after winning a coin toss with the Big Bopper as to who'd get the final seat? Bonus: What famous Country & Western singer, then a member of Holly's band, gave up his seat on that fateful flight, unwittingly saving his own life and allowing him to enjoy a long and illustrious career?
