I need to stimulate myself. A thread devoted to Trivia Quizzes. What a novel thought! If you get these right, I’ll come up with more.
These ones are pretty easy overall…if you know them. They go from easy to harder. Doper with the highest score can…do a funky dance.

Most people don’t know these so you can attempt them by guessing. Good luck and godspeed.
IIRC, there wasn’t one specific defect that they both had, but they each had an odd one. Both were the result of generations of inbreeding. Roderick had overdeveloped senses, so he could hear a cricket chirping a mile away or something. His siser (forget her name) had a tendency to up and die every now and then, only to “ressurrect” after a while.
Well, Mermaid, maybe you didn’t get any questions…but hell. I’m a sucker for a good dance.
Screeh-owl, I feel so proud! I caused someone to spit out their drink in merriment, at last. What can I say, I knew someone was going to make the inevitable connection when I wrote that first line.
Gun, I think it wasn’t quite white out but something else.
And the Usher one- yeah, inbreeding was the one I meant. Roddie’s sis was Madeleine.
The name of the substance used to create the Powerpuff Girls. Um… I’m guessing then that the answer isn’t as obvious as say, um, semen?
The pilot in which Mia Wallace starred, in the movie Pulp Fiction. Fox (as in, they’re foxy ladies) Force (as in, they’re a force to be reckoned with) Five (as in, there are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 of them)

The (basic) plot of the story Jack Torrance is writing in The Shining. (Book, not movie…) I believe it’s something to do with a guy working too much and not having any time for fun things, making him a very dull person…
Leela’s real name in Futurama. Sylvia Plath
The strange defect in the Usher family in The Fall of the House of Usher. catatonia?
Norman Bates’s middle name in PSYCHO. Sylvia Plath

As you can see, I don’t know most of these, but I thought it’d be fun to answer anyway.
Yeah, were it not for the fact that I am still wiping beer off the wall.
Is it spelled Wite-out?
Or Liquid Paper?
I forget which is the knock-off of the other.
Sigh. The PPG weren’t created by semen…they were created by Professor Utonium. Just one person- no intercourse. And I’m not talking about masturbation. (This thread is only 8 posts old and already we’ve got two references to it. Yeesh!) It was Chemical X (plus sugar, spice, and everything nice.)
Haven’t taken many art classes, huh?
Let’s start with the color wheel - BTW I’m talking art colors here, not the colors of light, there’s a difference.
You have your primary colors: red, blue, and yellow. These 3 colors make all the others (along with white and black, which are technically not colors - more on that later if you still give a shit)
Now imagine these colors in a circle: blue, blue-green, green, yellow green, yellow, yellow-orange, orange, red-orange, red, red-violet, violet, blue-violet and then the circle continues on to blue again. Understand? That is a simple color wheel.
On one side of the wheel, the blues, greens, and violets are generally considered “cool” colors (think grass, ice, water)
One the other side of the wheel, reds, yellows, and oranges are the “warm” colors (think, fire, sun, blood)
Drawing a line from one color across the center of the cirlce to another color directly opposite, you will have a “cool” color opposite a “warm” color,
I’m virtually married Zoggie and the last time I got into a discussion like this, the wives were gonna divorce me and I’d lose half my post count in alimony payments.
WTF?! Was I not clear enough when I said, “blues, greens, and violets are generally considered “cool” colors (think grass, ice, water)
One the other side of the wheel, reds, yellows, and oranges are the “warm” colors (think, fire, sun, blood).”
Was that too hard to follow?
