SUNDAY QUIZ NUMBER TWO

I had this quiz set to post early Sunday morning but I can see by the interest already shown in it that you want to try your hand earlier. OK, here it is.


The inaugural Sunday Quiz was an outstanding success and I wonder why I didn't think of this construct earlier? All of the community bloggers responded with one (50%) completing the questions, albeit wrongly, and receiving a consolation prize of a lifetime subscription to Robert's blog.

This week the Religious Curmudgeon has compiled the quiz. Take it away TRC.

****************




Thanks TC. This quiz will be easy for those who listened up in school Christian Doctrine classes.


1. What is the name of the religious manual made up by Peter Canisius, a Jesuit, first published in 1555?

  • The Cataclysm
  • The Catechism
  • The Catastrophe.

2. To Catholic schoolboys, which Mary was the 'hottest' and appealed most to their erotic fantasies?

  • The Virgin Mary, mother of Christ.
  • Mary the Magdalene.
  • Mary Queen of Scots.
3. What do Priests, nuns and religious brothers wear under their cassocks?
  • Longjohns.
  • Frilly knickers.
  • Nothing.
4. Was Mary the mother of Christ -
  • Consumed by heathens?
  • Assumed into Heaven?
  • Assured by Insurers?
5. Is the Communion host made of:
  • Leavened bread?
  • Unleavened Bread?
  • Lemonade?



Please get your answers in by close of day and, as Richard would say "have fun but don't sin".

I wanted to enter this competition but read TC's terms and conditions and unfortunately am excluded. I feel very depressed now.

4. Not bonked by Joseph.

Well, the entries are rolling in already so this competition will be a difficult one to judge.
I can say at this point that Robert the praying guy of the many names is leading with possibly four out of five answers correct.
At close of day we will be able to decide whether that is good enough to qualify for this week’s prize. Were he to send the verification code for his credit card however, this would make the decision easier.

5. The body and blood of a sheep found in a railway station. (TRANSFROMRAILWAYSTATION)

Just in is an unusual entry from Richard that while totally incorrect has the benefit of quirkiness and isn’t quite as boring as Robert’s. At this stage Richard is now in the lead. I refer you to rule 3 in the rules and regulations-

“The Curmudgeons Inc. reserve the right to make up any rules and regulations as they go on”.

Thank you for your interest so far.

Thank you! Thank you!

Sorry, I forgot the expiry date.

Expiry Date: Eternity

THE CURMUDGEON said...

Thanks, and thanks for confirming your future address - Hell, where you’ll be relocating to.

THE CURMUDGEON said...

I’d send your prize - a lifetime subscription to Robert’s blog - to you there but can see that you’ll be suffering enough.

That looks like success!

THE CURMUDGEON said...

Oh no!

I just re-read the rules and it may mean that Richard is ineligible for a prize.

See:
"A winner of a previous The Curmudgeons Inc.ⓒ. contest within the thirty (30) days preceding the winner selection date for this Competition (including persons designated by such winners to take ownership of prizes and persons domiciled with a winner) may be disqualified. A winner who claims a Prize during the Competition Period is not eligible to enter again."

This will be subject to a review.

Sorry about that.

Don't worry, I'll live.

THE CURMUDGEON said...

Yes - that's a fair cop Robert.
The competition adjudicators have ruled in your favour.
Please accept your prize of a lifetime subscription to 'Robert the apathetic sanctimonious sinner, toilet cleaner, threatener of eternal damnation, music snob and sucker''s blog.

No need to thank us.

Richard (of RBB) said...

Fuck! I missed out!

Richard (of RBB) said...

Don't worry. I'm over it already.

THE CURMUDGEON said...

I bet that Robert's overjoyed.
It's nice for him to win something.
It might get his mind off that palpable love of God that emanates from within his Sanctus.

Richard (of RBB) said...

Look, I'll live. After all, I do manage a very successful bass bagging blog. Tra il dire e il fare c'รจ di mezzo il mare.
Sogni d'oro.

That’s good, especially with the price of seafood today.
