Please do not google.
- President Ford was well known for his gaffes. What is the worst gaffe for which he was credited, but absolutely had no vision or hand in conceiving it?
- Jay Leno quipped that this former United States lawmaker was “inducted into the Idaho Hall of Fame, not the entire Hall, just the mens room.” Name the lawmaker.
- Bill Maher once quipped, "It's amazing, the only time you get accountability out of this administration is when they are actually holding a smoking gun." What was the incident that was the inspiration for this quip?
- When asked by Jay Leno what would be his first act as President, this candidate for President said that he would order a thorough shampoo and scrub of the carpets, drapes, furniture, and furnishings in the Oval Office. Who was that candidate?
- Identify this political couple, and what are their names? http://indiauncut.com/uploads/images/ashok-chavan-middle-finger.jpg
- We could say that Iago (in Othello by Shakespeare) has no real motives for evit acts – he's just plain evil. This famous poet characterized Iago as "a being next to the devil, only not quite the devil" and goes on to call Iago's behavior "motiveless malignity." Who was that famous poet?
- Why did the question, “asti kaSchit vaagviSeshah (अस्ति कश्चित् वाग्विशेषः)?” become so famous in the Indian classical literary lore? who was reported to have asked this question, addressing whom, and what was the answer?
- Along with questions on drugs and gender, all the athletes in 1960 Olympics in Rome had to answer a rather silly question. What was that question?
