These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-07-15,
and should be interpreted accordingly.

On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.

All questions were written by members of Unnatural Axxxe and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see
my 2019-01-22 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".


** Game 8, Round 9 - Entertainment - Movie Taglines

Simple enough: we'll give you the movie tagline and the year,
and you name the movie. Note: if any of them are sequels, we'll
need the specific title.

1. "Garbo laughs!" (1939)
2. "Where were you in '62?" (1973)
3. "It's scrumdidlyumptious!" (1971)
4. "The monster demands a mate!" (1935)
5. "An adventure 65 million years in the making!" (1993)
6. "They're young, they're in love... and they kill people!" (1967)
7. "They'll never get caught. They're on a mission from God." (1980)

8. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water."
(1978)

9. "This is Benjamin. He's a little worried about his future."
(1967)

10. "Being the adventures of a young man whose principal interests
are rape, ultraviolence and Beethoven." (1971)


** Game 8, Round 10 - Challenge Round - One Giant Leap

As you may have heard, July 20 marks the 50th anniversary of the
Apollo 11 moon landing. So here's a round where every category
has a lunar aspect -- if not in the question, then in the answer.

* A. Major-League Moons

A1. This new National Football League franchise was awarded
in 1965 to lawyer Joe Robbie and actor Danny Thomas. In
a contest to name the team, the name Moons was one of the
finalists, but an aquatic creature was eventually used.
Name that franchise. (City and chosen team name.)

A2. This L.A.-born quarterback spent most of his career with
the Houston Oilers and Edmonton Eskimos. He was the first
black quarterback inducted into the Pro Football Hall of
Fame. Name him.


* B. Lunar "Oceans"

The lunar "maria" or "seas" are, of course, not seas at all, but
large, dark, basaltic plains that were imagined as oceanic from
Earth. Here are questions about a couple of them. Please answer
in English.

B1. Name the "sea" where Apollo 11's lunar lander touched down
on July 20, 1969.

B2. Name any of the three other "seas" upon which Apollo
missions landed.


* C. Under the Moon I Croon, or Lunar Lyrics

C1. As sung by Sinatra, this song secondarily demands, "let me
see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars". Give the
song's title (which is also the opening line).

C2. In its opening verse, this R.E.M. song names wrestler
Fred Blassie, Mott the Hoople, and of course comedian
Andy Kaufman. Name it. Exact title required.


* D. Lunar Lit

D1. In Jules Verne's 1865 novel "From the Earth to the Moon",
how was the capsule containing the first three (yes, three)
lunar travelers launched from Earth?

D2. In 1901's "The First Men in the Moon", the craft in which
an inventor and a London businessman reach the moon is
propelled by repelling gravity with an element called
cavorite. Who wrote "The First Men in the Moon"?


* E. The Moon in Religion

E1. Which religion recognizes the moon god Chandra, also known
as Soma?

E2. The moon retained its immaculate symbolism with the
conversion to Christianity, and the crescent moon has a rich
iconographic connection with which New Testament character?


* F. Apollo's Canadian Connection

On June 26, Canada Post unveiled stamps honoring two Canadians'
contribution to the moon mission.

F1. The head of engineering for Project Mercury, Kamloops-born
Jim Chamberlin is credited with discrediting one approach
to the moon landing in favor of another. What was his
preferred idea?

F2. The chief engineer of the Apollo project, Sarnia native Owen
Maynard made the first sketches and went on to design what
key Apollo delivery vehicle?

Using a separate lunar lander, with orbiting command module, instead of
landing the whole rocket on the moon.
