Trivia Game for Benzo Brains (let's heal and have fun at the same time)

I like this one and its also quiet simple I guess..

 

 

Late afternoons I often bathe. I'll soak in water piping hot. My essence goes through my see through clothes. Used up am I; I've gone to pot.

What am I?

[[Yo...]]

You must be a tea bag.

The "Easter Hare" originated among German Lutherans. Like Santa Claus, it judged whether children were good or disobedient, and carried colored eggs, candy, and sometimes toys to the homes of deserving children on the night before the holiday.

 

In other notable Easter trivia, the sickly sweet Cadbury Cream Egg was first introduced in 1963...

This pristine copy of Action Comics #1, featuring the first appearance of Superman, is the most valuable comic book ever sold.

 

Guess how much it fetched in a 2014 eBay auction?

[[Yo...]]

Answer: $3,207,852 USD

 

It surpassed the copy bought by actor Nicolas Cage for $2.16 million in 2011.

 

With a print run of approximately 200,000 in 1938, less than 100 are thought to be in existence today.

 

The seller made an arrangement with eBay to donate 1% of the proceeds to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, an organization dedicated to helping individuals with spinal cord injuries such as the one sustained by the Superman movie star.

Why did Disney order a recall of the home video version of the 1977 animated feature The Rescuers?

The great white sharks of South Africa are known for a hunting habit called "breaching", in which they shock their prey from below and lunge out of the water.

 

It was first observed by white shark expert Chris Follows in the 1990s and made famous by the Discovery Channel film "Air Jaws" in 2001. His reaction was one of astonishment.

 

"Big sharks aren't supposed to jump! It is bizarre to see a really big shark go flying, sometimes 10 feet clear of the water. It is also really amazing to see how athletic they can be."

I recall seeing "Jaws: The Revenge" as a kid and chuckles from the audience when the shark jumped almost completely out of the water... It did look ridiculous, with one critic describing it as "dancing on its tail", but it turned out to be factually correct, though still a lousy movie.

Now I've ruined C-3P0 and The Rescuers for you...

 

Q. In the early 1960s, the U.S. government made a deal with General Foods to buy what product in bulk and for what purpose?

 

The product received a huge boost in sales and became a household name as a result of the association.

[[wa...]]

Was it Tang? And was it to poison people with? Because that's what it tastes like.

[[Yo...]]

Yes, it was Tang, the vitamin C-packed orange flavor crystals chosen by NASA to help nourish its astronauts.

 

It remained connected to the space program throughout the Gemini missions and into Project Apollo. In 1968, Tang sponsored ABC's televised coverage of the Apollo 8 mission.

 

The "breakfast drink" was advertised as the drink of astronauts, and kids cheerily drank it to emulate their heroes. The association was so strong that it created the misconception that Tang was developed by NASA.

 

"Buzz" Aldrin, never one to mince words, made it known to the world that "Tang sucks" in 2013. It became a billion-dollar brand in 2011.

I mentioned Nicolas Cage being a Superman fan, having paid over 2 million for his first comic appearance...but what was he doing here all dressed up as the Man of Steel?

It was Halloween and he was trick-or-treating.

[[Yo...]]

I'm sure it felt like Halloween and Christmas rolled into one for Cage.

 

He was set to star in "Superman Lives", which had been in development for over 10 years, when the studio pulled the plug just weeks before filming was to start in April 1998.

 

 

With director Tim Burton, who appears to be thinking "This isn't happening."

It's one of the animation puppet armatures from King Kong (1933). This one was used for when Kong climbs the Empire State Building. In 2009 it was auctioned by Christie's of London for about $200,000.
