Your question, Quis.

1) In the cartoon "Rocky & Bullwinkle" what was Natasha's last name?

2) What was ironic about the Battle of New Orleans, fought in the War of 1812?

3) What is the capital of Austrailia?

1. Fatale
2. It was fought in 1813.
3. Canberra.

Edit--and I looked it up. Let's just say I misremembered a song lyric.

Wasn't the Battle of New Orleans fought after the war was over?

1. Fatale
2. Fought after the War had formally ended.
3. Canberra.

EDE has it.

The ironic part was that the battle was fought after the peace treaty was signed. However, communications not being what they are today, that fact did not arrive in time to stop the battle.

I would have posted all 3 correct answers, but then I would have had to come up with questions. Crashing comets! What a narrow escape!

Unfortunately, I wasn't so lucky!

Let's make this one an all-theology quiz:

1) What item of fruit did a youthful Saint Augustine steal with his hoodlum friends?

2) What is the central difference between Sunni and Shia Muslims?

3) What biblical story provides the central theme of Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling.

1. apple
2. one ascribes authority only to Mohammed and the Qu'ran, while the other also gives the same authority to his descendants and to supplemental teachings
3. Daniel in the Lion's Den

These are all guesses, although some are more educated guesses than others

1. Nope.
2. That's close enough. The main difference is over line of secession. The Sunni believe in elected leadership, whereas the Shia follow a line directly descended from the Prophet.
3. Nope. But it is a story about obedience to God and deliverance from death.

1. Orange
2. What he said
3. The story of Abraham

1. Nope.
2. Yep.
3. Yes. In particular the sacrifice of Isaac.

1. pomegranate
2. elected vs hereditary leadership
3. the sacrifice of Isaac

Hint: The fruit in question has a distinctive shape.

1) a banana

2) the line of succession from Mohammed

3) The sacrifice of Isaac

Still not right.

1. a pear
2. elected vs. hereditary leadership
3. the sacrifice of Isaac

1. a kiwi
2. elected vs. hereditary leadership
3. the sacrifice of Isaac

Xben has it.

1. What do Dutch children leave out on the night on the night of December 4th, hoping that the historically based figure Sinterklaas will fill with candy and presents for them to open the next morning?

2. Who is the only character missing from this list: Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, C-3PO, R2-D2, Chewbacca, and Obi-Wan Kenobi? (Hint/Clarification: This question could have been asked in 1984).

3. Who or what is a Devon Rex?

1. I think they leave shoes, not stockings, hung up next to the chimneys. If memory serves, they leave offerings of carrots inside, for Sinterklaas' horses.

2. It sounds like all the characters that appeared all three movies of the original trilogy; otherwise Yoda, Lando, Boba Fett and the Emporer would count. I'll guess Wedge.

3. A relatively new breed of cat, created in 1960s Britain.

Correct, Kent! At least I assume all the extra details are correct. All I was looking for was Shoes, Wedge, and a Cat.
