Anyone up for a trivia fight?



Most of the first two pages have been moved from the JJ and the rules have been quoted above from when Sess made this thread ~GDS

Sounds fun. What's the first question? lol

In music, what is it called when the accents on not on the down beats?

That sounds familiar, but I can't quite place my finger on the name and I refuse to cheat by Googling it or something. And I somehow doubt that the answer is 'upbeat'.

What is the name of the ninja variant of a samurai's sword, and why is it different?

A ninto. The blade is generally made of a lighter metal, is slightly shorter, and is not curved.

No. Its 'syncopation'.

A...Katina...that's my guess, but I don't know why its different...and I'm probably wrong.

EDIT: What is the highest pitched instrument in any given orchestra?

I want to say up beat


Ninjato or ninato.

1) I figured it was something obvious like that.

2) Is it a piccolo?

3) A/D and Raven are both correct. It is different from a katana because it is slightly shorter and lighter, despite having a katana's sheath. This is to allow for a much quicker draw time.

Which character was Mark Hamil most famous for before his role as Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars trilogy?

piccolo


The City

Q: What is the name of the Joker's fem fatal?

1) That's wrong. It's actually when he voiced the Joker in the Batman cartoon series.

2) Harley Quinn.

Harlequin.

Edit: God damn you, Nicol.

Here's a good one: What was the original name for cornflakes?

Whoops.... I read which movie ^^"


You're both right.

Q: How many times has the Trix bunny actually ate Trix?

*smack* WRONG!!!
The Batman series he voiced wasn't until '92. The only acting he did before Star Wars was TV acting on soap operas, the movie A/D mentioned, and a cartoon series called Jeannie.


And Ducky, is it granose?

Alright who was the most decorated soldier from WWII?

And who played him in the movie To Hell and Back?

Can't help it, I've been on KMC forums too much.


Don't forget he was in Wing Commander.
And no, it was (I'm not making this up) Elijah's Mana.
Edit: @ A/D: Audie Murphy and Audie Murphy again.

Dammit... I figured the second one would trip you up lol

Q: Who was the only US president to have the budget balanced by the end of his term in office?

Bill Clinton

Wrong. Andrew Jackson is the correct answer. Actually he even had a surplus of funds afterwards.

Name the first superhero to appear in comics that could fly.

Captain Marvel?

Namor the Submariner (technically) but for the most part Captain Marvel.

Q: Who created the theme for The Simpsons?

Whoever answered piccolo was correct. And just to say...how many people here have ever heard of a piccolo trumpet? Crazy stuff right there. Its so tiny!

African, or European?

Alright, basic rules. Since this was spawned in the JJ, I shall give it life! Like Dr. Victor Frankenstein!

Ahem...

Simple question. Remember, after answer a trivia question, you ask a question for the next person. Simple rules. The person must, however, be correct. And they have to be KNOWLEDGEABLE! Trivia questions, any category... just no bullshit.

Hrm... I'll give an example of that when the person answers my question.
