A few weeks ago I posted a short quiz on Bible related trivia. Since then I’ve been requested by a number of readers to do another. Today is the day and since I’m a big fan of the Old Testament that’s where we’ll begin. This is a quiz with questions relating to the rulers of the time: Kings, Pharoah’s, and other questionable miscreants. Eleven quick questions with the answers as always listed below.
- What king hosted a banquet where a phantom hand left a message on the palace wall?
- What king of Israel was murdered while he was drunk?
- What military man captured 31 kings?
- What king had a strange dream about an enormous, fruitful tree that was suddenly chopped down with only a dry stump left?
- Who is the only king in the Bible referred to as the “Mede”?
- What king of Israel consulted the god Baalzebub after falling from his palace balcony?
- What king called Elijah the worst troublemaker in Israel?
- What king wanted to see miracles when the arrested Jesus was sent to him?
- What saintly king had a fleet built to sail for gold, though the ships never sailed?
- Who slept on a stone pillow at Bethel and had a dream of a stairway to heaven?

SPECIAL THANKS TO J. STEPHEN LANG
(I got three correct.)
I decided to take a break from watching the tremendous happenings that are occurring around the world. The gigantic wakeup call has commenced but I feel the need to step back and not get too caught up in politics. I have only one thing to say and I’ll do it at the top of my lungs . . . THANK GOD FOR OUR TROOPS.
Now for todays posting. In the past I’ve posted quizzes from the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s , and 80’s. Some were easy and some were not. The people that lived through each era scored well as you would expect. Todays quiz concerns the 1950’s and the number of people born and raised in that time has been significantly reduced by old age. Let’s see how well you all do with this one. As always the answers will be listed below.
- Who succeeded Joseph Stalin as the leader of the Soviet Union?
- In what year was Dwight D. Eisenhower first elected US President?
- Great Britain, France, and __________ attacked Egypt during the Suez Crisis.
- North Korea and South Korea are separated at the __________ Parallel.
- In 1956, most of the action in the Hungarian Revolution took place in what city?
- What was the game that Eisenhower referred to in his famous “Falling” speech?
- __________ was the leader of China during the Korean War?
- In what country was Joseph Stalin born?
- More Americans lost their lives in which Korean War battle that lasted from November 27 to December 15, 1950?
- __________ was the leader of Egypt during the Suez Crisis?
I was just a five year old during the fifties and I scored seven correct answers. How did you do?

AND GO YOU EFFING STEELERS
We’re three days into the new year which naturally demands a fresh batch of cute and bawdy limericks. These might be considered unacceptable for the younger children so DON’T LET THEM READ THEM. I’d rate them as “PG”, so consider yourself warned. Here we go . . .
💥
There was a young sailor named Bates
Who did the fandango on skates.
He fell on his cutlass
Which rendered him nutless
And practically useless on dates.
💥💥
I lost my arm in the army,
I lost my leg in the navy,
I lost my balls
Over Niagra Falls,
And I lost my cock in a lady.
💥💥💥
A lady both athletic and handsome
Got wedged in her bedrooms transom.
When she offered much gold
For release, she was told
That the view was worth more than the ransom.
💥💥💥💥
There was a young maid from Madras
Who had a magnificent ass;
Not rounded and pink,
As you’d probably think –
It was gray, had long ears, and ate grass.
💥💥✝️💥💥
And here’s a fav from a long-term recovering Catholic.
❤️❤️❤️
In the Garden of Eden lay Adam,
Complacently stroking his madam,
And loud was his mirth
For on all of the earth
There were only two balls – and he had’em.
❤️❤️❤️
HAPPY NEW YEAR
I’ve noticed in recent years that many people are questioning the value of a college education. I agree with that but not entirely. If you’re majoring in a useful subject that will help improve your life and that of society – DO IT! If your majoring in some lame-ass course that teaches you to spot acne forming on the asses of transgendered people – JUST STAY HOME. I’m a college grad who majored in Design and Commercial Art and I’ve never held any job even remotely related to it. Todays blog entry is proof that college degrees and college education are only as good as the student permits them to be. These items are called “malaprops” (meaning “inappropriate”) misstatements taken from actual high school and college exam papers. Sadly, they’re all true. Read on …..
- Samuel Morse invented a code for telepathy.
- Louis Pasteur discovered a cure for rabbis.
- Pharoah forced the Hebrew slaves to make bread without straw.
- Moses led them to the Red Sea where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients.
- Christmas is a time for happiness for every child, adult, and adulteress.
- Good punctuation means not to be late.
- Adam and Eve wore nothing but figments.
- Columbus discovered America while cursing about the Atlantic.
- The first book of the Bible is the book of Guinesses.
And last but not least My Fav.
If a pronoun is a word used in place of a noun, a proverb is a pronoun used in place of a verb.
