US History Trivia: What is the largest official bill ever printed of US currency?

Most of us get excited when we see big amounts of currency - $100 bills are awesome, and at least for me, they are the largest bill that I have ever seen.  However, bigger bills exist out there - ones that most of us can only dream about.  Off of Pocket Trivia: US History - what is the largest official bill ever printed of US currency?  Is it $100,000, $10,000, $25,000 or $5,000?

80s Trivia: Which of these was one of Nintendo's slogans in the 80s?

Nintendo and 80s commercials are two mainstays of this great decade.  Corny scripts, bad acting and "cutting edge" graphics are in particular for what Nintendo commercials became known.  And, like any awesome product of the 80s (or more recently), Nintendo had an awesomely bad slogan.  So, from Pocket Trivia: 80s Trivia - Which of these was one of Nintendo's slogans in the 80s: "Enter Mario's World" "Join the Nintendo Fan Club" "Nintendo do, Sega don't" or "Now you're playing with power!"

US Presidents Trivia: Who is the oldest living former President?

As of this moment, only four former Presidents are still living: George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.  It's a pretty small number, but that isn't too surprising: Presidents are usually relatively old when they retire.  The most recent former President to die was Gerald Ford, who died in 2006 at the age of 93 (incentially, this made Ford the longest living President).   So, off of Pocket Trivia: US Presidents - which of the above Presidents is the oldest still living?

Movies Trivia: What team is the rival of the Ducks in The Mighty Ducks?


Quack.  Quack.  QUACK!  The Might Ducks was a classic of my childhood, and there is a good chance they were a stabple of yours as well.  I mean, come on, who doesn't like a story featuring an underdog - and then an underdog within a team of underdogs?  This movies is a 90s classic, featuring the Ducks, who come from behind to win a state championship, beating their rival and their coaches old team.  Off of Pocket Trivia: Movies Trivia - What team is the rival of the Ducks in The Mighty Ducks?  Is it The Jets, The Devils, The Sharks or the Hawks?

Music Trivia: What Cher music video was performed on a U.S. Navy ship, with Cher dressed only in a revealing one-piece bathing suit?

Ahh, Cher.  The woman might just be more plastic than human at this point.  But, regardless of any plastic surgery that she has had, you have to admit, her singing career is incredibly impressive.  Spanning more than four decades, Cher actually holds the record for the longest time span between number one hits (33 years and 7 months was the time between I Got You Babe and Believe).  A career like that deserves nothing short of admiration.


Cher is best known by many, however, for a music video and outfit that nearly blinded many...okay, not literally, but it was pretty bad.  So, off of Pocket Trivia: Music Trivia - What Cher music video was performed on a U.S. Navy ship, with Cher dressed only in a revealing one-piece bathing suit?  Was it Song for the Lonely, Believe, Gypsies, Trams & Thieves or If I Could Turn Back Time?

US History Trivia: What was the name of the Space Shuttle that was destroyed upon reentry to the Earth in 2003?

The Space Program and NASA represent some of America's most significant and important scientific advancements.  Of course, like any new exploration, these gains have not come without a price.  In 2003, seven members of a Space Shuttle crew paid the ultimate price when their ship was destroyed while reentering the Earth's atmosphere.  Off of Pocket Trivia: US History - What was the name of the Space Shuttle that was destroyed upon reentry to the Earth in 2003?  Was it the Mercury, Enterprise, Genesis or Columbia?

Music Trivia: What Robbie Williams video featured Williams tearing off his skin to reveal his flesh underneath - all while dancing?

Music videos are known for showing gratuitous amounts of skin.  In some videos, they show more...much more. One such music video was filmed by Robbie Williams.  It begins harmless enough - in an attempt to get the girl's attention, Robbie strips.  Okay, fine, whatever.  Then...he starts taking off his skin.  And muscles.  And all that's left is a dancing skeleton (which does, thankfully, get the attention of the girl).  So, off of Pocket Trivia - Music Trivia:  What Robbie Williams video featured Williams tearing off his skin to reveal his flesh underneath - all while dancing?  Is it Feel, Millenium, Rock DJ or Supreme?

80s Trivia: Who sang the theme song for 'Miami Vice'?

You don't get much more 80s than Miami Vice.  The music, the cars, the culture and the terrible, terrible clothing just screamed about the decade that so many of us would love to forget.  And let me emphasize one item again: the music.  Miami Vice was renowned for its use of music in its episodes, often spending serious cash to acquire the rights to use certain songs in episodes.  Many musicians also served as guest stars during the show.  So much original music was created for the series that it actually had three soundtracks released.

Its theme song, replete with synthesizers (many, many synthesizers) and no lyrics, was classic Vice.  So, off of Pocket Trivia: 80s Trivia -  Who composed the theme song for 'Miami Vice'?  Was it Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Jan Hammer or Elton John?

US History Trivia: Who was the first Vice President appointed by the United States Senate?

We all know that, if the President dies, the Vice President becomes President.  What is less known, and less frequent, is what happens if the Vice President vacates the office for some reason.  This occurrence has happened on eighteen different occasions - yet, only twice in American history has a Vice President been appointed by the U.S. Senate.  So, off of Pocket Trivia: US History - Who was the first Vice President appointed by the United States Senate?  Was it Charles Fairbanks, Nelson Rockefeller, Hubert Humphrey or Gerald Ford?

US Presidents Trivia: What President was not allowed to attend his party's national convention by the Secret Service?

One of the highlights of virtually every Presidential nominating convention is speeches by the incumbent President or former President's.  With relatively few exceptions (2008 being one of them), former/current President's are welcomed with open arms and seen as rallying points for their party.  However, this isn't always the case - in some cases, President's are unpopular and seen as relics of the past.  And in at least one case, the Secret Service refused to allow a President to attend his party's nominating convention due to fears on his life.  So, off of Pocket Trivia: US Presidents - What President was not allowed to attend his party's national convention by the Secret Service?  Was it Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson or Woodrow Wilson?

Movies Trivia: In Dogma, what does God like to do?

Dogma is a classic parody of religion and religious extremists that brought us such gems as "the Buddy Christ" and Alanis Morissette as God.  The movie is filled with hysterical moments that can piss off just about everyone.  At its core, however, is a search for God...both literal and metaphorical.  God, as portrayed by Alanis Morissette, has a hobby (that ultimately gets her into trouble).  So, off of Pocket Trivia: Movies Trivia:  In Dogma, what does God like to do?  Is it Watch Soap Operas, go clubbing, magic tricks or play Skiball?

Music Trivia: What 1988 song refers to Stalin, Mussolini, Kennedy and Ghandi?

Songs make political statements all the time - that's pretty much par for the course at this point.  Most political songs are protest songs in some way.  Some, however, deal with broader political issues - like the nature of politics itself.  So, off of Pocket Trivia: Music Trivia - What 1988 song refers to Stalin, Mussolini, Kennedy and Ghandi?  Is it Ohio, Freedom, Cult of Personality or This War?
