By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1}

What Wisconsin town is named for a sport that was observed there by explorers?

La Crosse, WI

Answer: La Crosse is a city in the state of Wisconsin. The first Europeans to see the site of La Crosse were French explorers who traveled the Mississippi River in the late 17th century. As they ascended the river, they saw the Indians playing a game on the prairie that stretched two miles eastward from the bluffs. The game was played with a long racquet that reminded the French of their tennis game which they called "la crosse". They recorded the location's name as "Prairie La Crosse". By the 1850s the town had shortened the name to, La Crosse.

Which of these US presidents shares a name with a Pulitzer Prize-winning composer?

My guess: John Adams

Answer: About sixty miles and a few hundred years separate John Adams, the second president of the United States, and John Adams, the composer and conductor of classical music and opera. We’ll focus on John Coolidge Adams, the Pulitzer Prize winning composer from Worcester, Massachusetts. Adams won the 2003 Pulitzer in music for his piece "On the Transmigration of Souls", a New York Philharmonic commission to commemorate the September 11 attacks. Adams has written several operas, notably "Nixon in China" (1987), "The Death of Klinghoffer" (1991), and "Doctor Atomic" (2005).

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" is said by which of Shakespeare's characters?

My guess: Juliet

Answer: "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet" is a quote from William Shakespeare’s play Romeo & Juliet. The line is spoken by Juliet in Act II, Scene II of the play. Juliet argues that it does not matter that Romeo is from her family's rival house of Montague, that is, that he is named "Montague". The reference is often used to imply that the names of things do not matter, only what things are. Juliet compares Romeo to a rose saying that if he were not named Romeo he would still be handsome and be Juliet's love.

Transylvania is a region in which modern-day nation?

Answer: Transylvania is best known as the mysterious land of bloodthirsty vampires and howling wolves. While many people may think it’s fictional, Transylvania is a real place. Transylvania is a historical region in central Romania. The Western world commonly associates Transylvania with vampires, due to the influence of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula and the many films the tale inspired. Bordered to the east by the Carpathian Mountains, this region of Romania is rich with mountains and undisturbed forests, and home to some of Europe’s oldest and prettiest castles.

My guess: George C. Marshall

Answer: A five-star general, George C. Marshall rose through the United States Army to become Chief of Staff under presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman, and then served as Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense under Harry Truman. Winston Churchill lauded Marshall as the "organizer of victory" for his leadership of the Allied victory in World War II. As Secretary of State, George Marshall formulated the "Marshall Plan", an unprecedented post-war U.S. program of economic aid to Western Europe following the devastation of World War II. In recognition of this work, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953.

My guess: Dole vs. Mondale

Answer: On October 15, 1976, Republican Bob Dole and Democrat Walter Mondale met in what moderator James Hoge called “as far as we can tell … the first formal debate ever held between vice-presidential candidates.” This historic debate saw two longtime Senate colleagues square off as stand-ins for incumbent President Gerald R. Ford and Democratic nominee Jimmy Carter. They started off with smiles as Senator Dole said that he hoped it would be a “fun evening.” They ended with bitter exchanges with Senator Mondale calling his opponent a “hatchet man.” An estimated 43.2 million viewers tuned into the debate.

My guess: Adam's apple

Answer: The Adam's apple is the lump or protrusion in the human neck formed by the angle of the thyroid cartilage surrounding the larynx seen especially in males. Its size tends to increase considerably during puberty due to hormonal changes. The name of this natural body characteristic goes back to the biblical story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. As the tale goes, Adam ate a piece of forbidden fruit from the apple tree, and a part of it got stuck in his throat. This is where the name “Adam’s apple” comes from.

My guess: Sean Connery

Answer: Over a decade before Sean Connery became 007, he competed as a professional bodybuilder. Connery’s official website states he “spent much of his free time bodybuilding, a pastime that eventually started his acting career. His hobby of bodybuilding culminated in a bid for the 1950 Mr. Universe title where he placed third.” A local casting director in attendance offered him a small part in a touring production of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific. According to Connery, one rehearsal was all it took for him to decide to become an actor.

My guess: Robert Redford

Answer: All the President's Men is a 1976 political thriller film about the Watergate scandal, which brought down the presidency of Richard M. Nixon. It is based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, the two journalists investigating the Watergate scandal for The Washington Post. The film stars actors Robert Redford as Bob Woodward and Dustin Hoffman as Carl Bernstein. Redford not only played Bob Woodward in the film, but also bought the rights to Woodward and Bernstein's book in 1974 for $450,000 and was instrumental in getting the film made.
