Ilsa_Lund's Super Tough Trivia.

  1. Who is James B. W. Beavis’ guardian angel?

  2. Who was the original intended director for Breakfast At Tiffany’s?

  3. The co-star of La Comtesse d’Somerive went on to make what other famous film?

  4. Where was the 2003 Joint Meeting of Icthyologists and Herpetologists?

  5. In the book “The Great Brain At The Academy,” how much candy were the boys allowed to buy and how often?

  6. In the movie Interiors, a single joke is told. How does it go?

  7. Who tells it?

  8. In the South Park episode “It Hits The Fan!,” how many times was the word “shit” said?

  9. What was Alfred Hitchcock’s wife, Alma Reville, often credited with in his movies?

  10. What do the numbers 113/113, 48/24, 3705/1235, 296/74 and 185/37 have in common?

  1. Doug Lewellyn. Probably mis-spelled, but the guy from The People’s Court.

  2. John Frankenheimer

  3. Manaus, Brazil

  4. A little over 200 times.

  5. Aside from reducing to whole numbers (1,2,3,4 and 5)?

  1. J. Hardy Hempstead. That was an old episode of “The Twilight Zone.” Not a particularly good one, either. It played like a bad sitcom pilot.

Oh, and as for “Interiors,” well… I haven’t seen the movie in years and years (I hated it from start to finish), but I recall that E.G. Marshall is shown telling a joke that can’t really be heard. It’s almost as if Woody Allen was trying desperately not to allow anything remotely amusing to happen. If we HEARD the joke, we might laugh, and we wouldn’t be as depressed as Woody obviously wants us all to be.

Ah, that Beavis. I thought the “James B.W.” was an obscure trivia point from Beavis and Butthead.

astorian got 1.

Sublight got 2 and 4.

  1. What changes on the SDMB came about as a result of the poster gl0worm? (Remember, no cheating!)

  3. What happened to Apollo 12 shortly before liftoff?

  4. What is the name of Joan Fontaine’s character in Rebecca?

  1. No more html coding allowed in posts.

11 is correct.
19. What prizes were given to the winners of the caucus race in Alice In Wonderland?

  1. One thing was certain, the WHITE kitten had nothing to do with it. Who’s fault was it, though?

  2. Had Herbert Clutter known his family was in danger, it was said he would have fought how?

Would this be at the beginning or after changes are discussed near the end? It’s been a while, so those changes might be something I’m lazily attributing to the end that happened in another book. Or I might be misremembering.

Any road, it was something like a penny’s worth every 16 weeks. That came about not because the head of the school was a sadistic meanyhead but because the boys were eating candy constantly and not brushing their teeth.

5 refers to the beginning. Close, but no cigar.

Damn. Not what I had in mind at all, but I’ll let it stand.

If I remember correctly, she’s never named.
