I need some PH help on some Xmas quiz questions at work, so far I've 97 out of 100 but am stuck on the remaining 3;

1 - How many bones do Turkeys have?

2 - What event prompted the tradition of making gingerbread houses?

3 - What do the following people all have in common? - Mohammed Ali, JF Kennedy, Joh Wayne, Churchill, Neil Armstrong, Alfred Hitchcock, Peter Sellers, Baden Powell, Barack Obama, Frank Bruno.


I know they are slightly random questions but any help would be appreciated!

They have all at one time, been on the telly - but not at the same time (you might get a bonus point for that snippet of information)

1 - How many bones do Turkeys have?

Norfolk turkeys are given an extra bone by the farmhand.

2 - What event prompted the tradition of making gingerbread houses?

It was originally for poor people who couldn't afford to give real houses at Christmas.

3 - What do the following people all have in common? - Mohammed Ali, JF Kennedy, Joh Wayne, Churchill, Neil Armstrong, Alfred Hitchcock, Peter Sellers, Baden Powell, Barack Obama, Frank Bruno.

They are the only group of keywords which produce this exact list of sites in Google: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&sa=X&...

1. There are 307 bones in a chicken. Assume a turkey has the same number, only bigger

2. The tradition of baking a Gingerbread house began in Germany after the Brothers Grimm published their collection of German fairy tales in the early 1800s. Among the tales was the story of Hansel and Gretel,children left to starve in the forest, who came upon a house made of bread and sugar decorations. It is possible however that brothers Grimm were actually writing about something that may have already existed.

Just thought I'd mention that these answers are all straight guesses.

Huskisson was the first man killed by a train (or was it a car).

Huskisson was the first man to be killed by the (first) train.

The horse was called Billie but can't remeber the name of the plod. Something daft though.


ETA Turkeys have about 200 bones and Brothers Grimm "Hansel and Gretel" was the start of gingerbread houses.

"Scorey"... told you it was something daft. Not sure that counts as "football related" though. wink
