April 30, 2008 question

In Britain, Milky Way bars were called Mars bars. Only Diannalee and Karen H (the H stands for Have Three, We're In London!) knew that. But that was yesterday, this is today. At least for now.

It's the last day of April, and you know what that means . . . no more April. AND time for shower trivia. Or flower trivia. I don't know, here's the question:

What Peanuts character was seen almost exclusively wearing a ponytail? (Super Bonus Points if you know her last name, too)

Well, we've got a little bit of housework to do here in trivia village. First of all, I need to give credit to the people who got Friday's New York question correct:

Heather M (the M stands for Manhattan)
Cindy
Heidi

I'll also give double credit to Heidi for being the sole winner of yesterday's nougat-filled trivia. She knew that the Milky Way bar took the first big bite out of the U.S. economy. Ironically, Heidi is also one of those who believes that New York and the Milky Way are approximately the same size. Ah . . . I can hear the Bronx cheer resounding my way right now . . .

Anyway, here's today's continuation of chocolaty triviality:

What was the U.K. version of the Milky Way bar called when they shipped it across the pond?

New York was the first state to require automobile license plates, probably because they had so many criminals with nothing better to do. In the wake of the news that Mars is about to purchase Wrigley, here's today's confectionery question:

What was the first candy bar to become a major financial success for the Mars candy company?

Kristin
Karen H (the H stands for How You Like Me Now, Yankees?)
Charles
Nancy K (the K stands for Kicking New York Butt)

Double congrats to Steven F, Karen H, and Kristin who knew both correct answers: the Cubs and the Giants. And to everyone who guessed the Yankees . . . ha. Here's today's question:

What was the first state to require license plates for automobiles?

Only Laurie and Karen M (the M stands for Maybe I'm Amazed At The Way You Speak In Iambic Pentameter All The Time) knew that the Bard was 52 years old to the day when he shed this mortal coil. Brava!

And since today's the fourth Thursday in an even-numbered month, here's a sports trivia question (with a hint):

What are the only two franchises in Major League Baseball history with at least 10,000 wins? (Hint: if you only guess one team, and that team happens to be a team I really like, I'll still give you credit.)

Did we elect a new president yet? No? Man! . . . or Woman! Okay,
let's get into trivia without any more ado about nothing.

Today is William Shakespeare's birthday (yeah!) but it's also the day
he died (awww) . . . how old was he when he died?

The vocal chord, or vocal fold as it is termed by people who really care about such things, is a legitimate ligament, as Karen H (the H stands for Hoarse), Elena, and Karen M (the M stands for Mi Mi Mi Mi Mi Mi Mi) could tell you. Hooray for the three of you, and hooray for ligaments everywhere!

Reigning American Idol champ Jordin Sparks had to drop a few dates off of her tour, thanks to a vocal chord hemorrhage. And let me tell you, when your voice is hurt so bad you can't even lip sync, you're in bad shape. It's been bordering on painful watching Miss Sparks mouth the words to national anthems and teeny bopper hits alike. And now this? It almost makes me feel bad for mocking her. Almost. Here's today's question:

A human vocal chord is actually:

A) a ligament
B) a muscle
C) an organ
D) skin
E) a tendon
