  1. When I tossed my prize “for the fairest” I knew I would cause all sorts of trouble, but I had no idea the consequences would be immortalized in literature for millenia.

Eris.

Being of such a deplorable nature, the gods have kept Eris apart and, as it is widely known, she was not in the list of guests who were invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, the parents of Achilles. Nevertheless Eris, being difficult to get rid of, came to the party and threw a golden apple through the door with the inscription:

“For the fairest”

And Hera, Athena and Aphrodite started disputing on account of the apple and were therefore sent by Zeus to Mount Ida near Troy in order to be judged by the shepherd Paris, who chose Aphrodite as the most beautiful, accepting Helen’s hand for a bribe.

This is one cause of the Trojan War, for Paris, having come to fetch his bribe at Sparta, where Helen was queen, left the city as her lover and sailed with her to Troy.

  1. He dissed my homies so I ripped off his arm and nailed it to the wall. Then I went after his momma.

Beowulf is a warrior from southern Sweden who sails to his uncle’s court in Denmark where he slays the monster Grendel. As a trophy, Beowulf carries home the monster’s arm and shoulder that he has wrenched from the giant’s torso. Of course there is a great victory feast followed by drunken slumber on the banquet hall floor. After all are asleep Grendel’s mother creeps in, kills some of the sleeping men, and carries the bloody “trophy” back to her home beneath the waters of a dismal swamp.

The next morning Beowulf tracks Grendel’s mother to the swamp. Fearlessly he dons his armor and plunges down to the opening of her cave. After a mighty battle with the hag-monster, he kills her with a weapon forged by the giants of old.

Well bugger. I had hoped against hope that Shayna/Chocolate & Grace, who I am dubbing “The Formidable Ones,” hadn’t seen this yet. Still, I’ll post my changes (I don’t think my previous change/addition post went through, but I’m adding more changes this time anyway.)

Singledad, please change these answers for me:
For #8 - change to Albert Einstein
For #39 - add George Antheil to my answer
For #44 - change Andromeda to Large Magellanic Cloud

And add these please:

For #15 - Ella Fitzgerald, I Wish I were Still in Love, Richard Rodgers & Lorenz (Larry!) Hart. (Bonus fact - from Babes in Arms, 1937.)
For #26 - Ways to get a flush
For #36 - Cisco & GE
For #43 - 1969 Mets

Thanks very much.

27

Damn board… Had to re-score all of these.

Shayna/Chocolate/Grace: 47 1/2 (1 half)

Arnold Winkelried: 47 (2 halves)

WaterJ2: 44 1/2? (giving you an new point for a valid alternate answer)

I’m not naming any names {subliminal}waterj2{/submliminal}, but please post a summary of all your answers when you’re updating. It’s hard to score accurately when I have to consolidate several posts.

{{{{ blush }}}} Gee, thanks guys! :slight_smile: I’m flattered!

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

28

OK, I’m changing some of my answers. Can’t think too much about it, because now we’re in the final stretch! Here goes.

Arnold Winkelried here, changing four of my answers.

3) When I tossed my prize “for the fairest” I knew I would cause all sorts of trouble, but I had no idea the consequences would be immortalized in literature for millenia.
Eris, the personification of strife, daughter of Nyx, and sister and companion of Ares, or the Roman Mars. Eris is best known for her part in starting the Trojan War. When she alone of the gods was not invited to the marriage of Peleus and Thetis, she threw among the guests a golden apple inscribed “For the most beautiful.” Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite each claimed it, and Zeus assigned the decision to Paris. Paris awarded the apple to Aphrodite, who then helped him win Helen of Troy. In the war that resulted, Hera and Athena remained implacable enemies of Troy.

41) How many rings of power did Sauron make?
There were 20 rings total, but Sauron himself only made 1.

44) These two galaxies are the closest to the Milky Way.
The Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy, SagDEG, a small galaxy which is currently in a close encounter with the Milky Way, and thus our closest known intergalactic neighbor at about 80,000 light years from us - followed by the more conspicuous Large Magellanic Cloud at 179,000 light years.

50) Whopat opis yopour fopavoporopite copolopor?
Pig latin for “What is your favourite colour”, might be a reference to “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.”

29

Sorry SingleDad, I just now noticed you said “please re-post full answers.” Do you need me to re-post the full Q/A?

(What I do, when I get near the end, is keep a list of posters with what questions they have wrong, which helps when they only post updates.)

30

Iolanthe: 48 (2 halves)

Hints: Several people have foolishly identified a different president than what I’m looking for.

Fopor fopull popoints, yopou mopust opanswoper quopestopion fopiftopy coporropectoply opin thope mopannoper opit wopas opasked.

Arnold: I have that list… at home… It’s easier for me (naturally) if each person keeps his/her own list, especially with 5 posters in a position to win.

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

32

I take it back. For the sake of efficiency, just post your changes. Since I’m going to be home for the rest of the weekend, I can keep everything together there. :slight_smile:

If you wish to dispute your score, however, do post just a summary of all your answers; I’m may well have miscounted or skipped one.

33

Sorry Arnold. I miscounted your previous score, it was 46 (2 halves). You added one correct answer, got a half point on another question, and switched two correct answers to alternate correct answers. Your current score is 47 1/2 (3 halves). Iolanthe still has you by a half point.

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

OK then, more corrections.
