These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-06-11,
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 4, Round 4 - Miscellaneous - Father's Day
June 16 is Father's Day. We could set this up with a dad joke,
but thought we'd spare you.
1. This Danish father and son are the only biological father and
son to both win the English Premier league title. They played
for different teams, but they won their respective titles in the
same position, at the same age, and on the same calendar day.
Who are they?
2. This boxer famously named all five of his sons "George Edward"
so they would always have something in common. Name the father.
3. This R&B singer had a posthumous duet with his daughter in 1991.
Name the father.
4. This emperor, called the "Father of Europe", had at least
20 children of varying degrees of legitimacy. When one of his
illegitimate sons, Pepin the Hunchback, was found guilty of
plotting to kill him, the emperor commuted his death sentence
and instead sent him to a monastery for the rest of his life.
Name the emperor.
5. Beheaded in 1535 for treason, this remarkable father gave
his daughters the same classical education as he did his son
-- which was practically unheard of in 16th-century England.
After the father's execution, his daughter Margaret Roper bribed
the man tasked with throwing his head in the Thames and gave
it a proper burial. Who was that father?
6. This man may be the most prolific father of all time -- 0.8%
of the world's population is descended from him. Who is he?
7. This son paid tribute to his 102-year-old father at the Golden
Globes this year by saying "Altercockers rule!". "Altercocker"
is a Yiddish term for old guy. Name the son.
8. This King of Judea was so paranoid that he killed not only
his first wife but three of his sons, causing Emperor Augustus to
comment that it was "better to be that man's pig than his son".
Name that king.
9. There are a lot of negative things being said about this late
father, but the nadir of his parenting was likely dangling his
infant son from a balcony. Name the father.
10. This chef's children are Poppy, Buddy, River, Petal, and Daisy.
Who is he?
* Game 4, Round 6 - Entertainment - Bands that Exist Only on Screen
Some of the rockin'est bands in musical history existed only in
the minds of the scriptwriters who created them. In this round,
we'll name the fictional band and give you the year, and maybe a
bit of other information. You name the movie or TV series.
1. Wyld Stallyns (pronounced "Wild Stallions"), 1989.
2. Stillwater, 2000.
3. The Soggy Bottom Boys, 2000.
4. Autobahn, 1998. A band of German nihilists.
5. The Folksmen, 2003.
6. Otis Day and the Nights, 1978.
7. Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, 1979.
8. Marvin Berry and the Starlighters, 1985. Marvin was Chuck's
cousin.
9. The Wonders or Oneders, 1996. Mispronounced at one point as
"oh-NEED-ers".
10. The Rutles, 1978. We need the part of the title that isn't
"The Rutles".

The one that the question asks about is Herod the Great, I think. He's
also the one who supposedly killed all the newborn boys in Bethlehem, or
maybe it was in all Judea, whatever. (I really have doubts this
happened, but then the entire Nativity story is probably all myths
anyway.) He also built the second Temple.
Anyway, H the G died in 4 BC and the other Biblical Herods are his sons
or grandsons. That includes the father of Salome who killed John the
Baptist.
