The answers:

1. What is common to Proverbs 23:12, 19:15, 27:4, 14:30, 16:18, Isiah 56:11 and Peter 2:11?

## The Seven Deadly Sins.

2. This shock rocker's father was a priest. He had his pet boa constrictor bitten and killed by a rat. He came out with his first album Pretties For You in 1969. A total of 22 albums including Brutal Planet which is to come out in March '00. And I heard that one of his albums was sold with an article of ladies' underwear and needless to say there was a boom in sales.

## Alice Cooper.

3. "In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum-security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help and you can find them, maybe you can hire the _______" Opening lines of a TV serial. Which one?

## The A Team

4. He once threatened to sue Timex over a TV commercial that had someone trying to break a watch. Now this man wants to sue Nintendo, makers of Pokemon games and cards, for 60 million pounds. The case he's making is that Nintendo is using his image without permission as a Pokemon monster. Namely, Alakazam, Pokemon #65, which carries bent spoons in his hands.

## Uri ("Bent Spoons") Geller

5. Mr. X has written a book, Truth versus Lies, its chief aim is to assert his sanity. He lives on "Celebrity Row", a group of eight cells protected from the general population. Among them (prisoners on "Celebrity Row") are Ramzi Yousef, the Mastermind of the World Trade Center bombing, and Timothy McVeigh. Mr. X says McVeigh (who has recently been transferred to another prison) lent him one of the most interesting books he's read lately, Tainting Evidence: Inside the Scandals at the FBI Crime Lab by John F. Kelly and Phillip K. Wearne. Who?

## Theodore "Ted" Kazcinsky

6. Her real name was Shirley Schrift. The secretary in the office of the Group Theatre in New York helped her coin her screen name (first name = her favorite poet, last name = her Mother's maiden name). She once enrolled for swimming classes to become a lifesaver and was coached by Johnny Weissmuller - Tarzan himself. Who? She won Oscars for The Diary of Anne Frank ('59) and A Patch of Blue ('65).

## Shelley : Winters :: her favourite poet : her mother's maiden name :)

7.Mozart's full name was Wolfgang Amadeus Theophilus Gottlieb Mozart. What's so special about his middle names?

## Latin : deus - god; Ama -love
Greek : Theo - god ; Philus - love
German : Gott - God ; Lieb - love

Sandipan Deb writes:
## All three mean "loved by God". However, the question isn't really correct. Mozart was christened Johann Chrysostom Theophilus Wolfgang Mozart. The name Theophilus however was latinised by some to Amadeus, and germanised by some to Gottlieb. They are variations of the same third name of Mozart and altogether, they don't form part of Mozart's name.

8.Darren McGavin starred as Carl Kolchak, a Chicago journalist in Kolchak: The Night Stalker, a 70's TV series in the US, who searches for zombies, monsters, etc. This inspired the role of Fox Mulder in the X-files. The connection between these two serials doesn't stop here. X-plain.

## Darren (Carl Kolchak) McGavin stars as the guy who gives "inside" info to Mulder. Darren plays Arthur Miles (if my memory serves me right). Arthur Miles was supposed to be a real-life FBI man who created the X -files. Chris Carter's tribute to Carl Kolchak.

9. From '42-45, he served in the US Navy during WWII as a fighter pilot. During '71-73, he was US Ambassador to the UN. During '76-77, he was the head of the CIA. Who is he? (Clue: His son is making news.)

## George Bush Sr.

10. Connect Ila Arun and Vicks.

## The connection I was expecting for question 10 was that Ila Arun's daughter Ishita Arun is the 3 yr old who appears in the Vicks "Gale mein Khich Khich" Ad along with Jayant Kriplani. I haven't heard about Ila's (Ad men) brothers (Piyush Pandey and ?) making the Ad.
