90s Trivia: How many Americans suffered battle-related deaths during the first Gulf War?


The 90s, unlike the 00s, were punctuated with numerous successful American military conflicts.  Most remembered of those was the closest thing we had to a full-scale war during the 90s: the First Gulf War, otherwise known as Operation Desert Storm.  During the conflict, the United States and other allies invaded Iraq to beat back an Iraqi invasion of neighboring Kuwait.  The conflict was an unprecedented military success for the United States, with an extremely low number of American battle-related military deaths.  So, off of Pocket Trivia: 90s Trivia - How many Americans suffered battle-related deaths during the first Gulf War?  Was it 148, 390, 1212 or 4,539?

90s Trivia: What are the name of the robbers in Home Alone?

If you grew up in the 90s, you probably saw Home Alone.  Starring Macaulay Culkin as the clever kid who gets left home alone when his parents go on a Christmas vacation, the movie was a smash success and to this day is the highest grossing live-action comedy of all time.  If you say you don't remember the scene where the criminals break-in, I'll call you a liar (as a seven year old, this movie exposed me to the hysterical phenomenon of grown men getting hit in the crotch).

It is the criminals that are the subject of today's question.  Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern starred as the bumbling thieves who broke into homes while their unsuspecting owners were on vacation.  So, off of Pocket Trivia: 90s Trivia - What is the name of these robbers?  Is it The Weak Sweeps, the Road Runners, the Bugaloos or The Wet Bandits?

90s Trivia: What movie features Bill Pullman as a jet fighter pilot?

In the classic movie that is the subject of today's question, Bill Pullman plays a fighter pilot.  There's really no prelude that I can think of for this, except to say that the plot is so stupid it kinda makes me want to punch a wall.  Anyways, off of Pocket Trivia: 90s Trivia - in which of these movies does Pullman play a jet fighter pilot?  Is it Spaceballs, Mars Attacks!, Starship Troopers or Independence Day?

90s Trivia: What product was known for the slogan 'I've fallen and I can't get up?'

This commercial is a classic.  Old woman, on the ground, writhing in pain, manages to contact emergency services (via the product in question) and says "I've fallen and I can't get up!"  I was a kid when this thing came out, and I remember running around screaming it.  Of course, it was probably pretty useful for the elderly, but that's a different issue entirely.  Anyway, from Pocket Trivia: 90s Trivia - What product was known for the slogan 'I've fallen and I can't get up?'  Is it LifeCall, Saver, NightLife or AutoER?

90s Trivia: Who sang the Macarena?

Is there anything more 90s than the Macarena?  I did that dance at so many Bar Mitzvah's and awkward Middle School dance's that I can still do it - in my sleep.  The classic hit is one of the most memorable hits on the 90s - even if it did start to drive you a little nuts.  But, what is largely unknown, at least by many Americans, is this: who the heck sung that song?

So, off of Pocket Trivia: 90s Trivia - Who sang the Macarena?  Was it Menudo, Bayside Boys, Monge or Los Del Rio?

90s Trivia: What movie features Heather Graham as Rollergirl?

Heather Graham was one of the hottest actresses of the 90s.  As a teenager, I still remember her appearing in Lenny Kravitz's video for American Woman and looking drop-dead gorgeous.  She was in quite a few movies and played some memorable characters.  One of them was named Rollergirl - so, off of Pocket Trivia: 90s Trivia - What movie features Heather Graham as Rollergirl?  Was it A Long Days Night, The People vs. Larry Flint, Boogie Nights or Six Degrees of Separation?

As we said last week, Pocket Trivia: 90s Trivia is now available for downloading (yay!).  As such, we're going to spend this week giving you questions straight out of the 90s.

Do you remember the Magic School Bus series?  This was the one about the kids that, with their teacher, boarded a Magic School Bus that took them on a variety of wacky adventures, including inside of a human body, the solar system and a hurricane, among other locales.  They were lead by their teacher, who is the subject of today's question.  What was the name of the teacher?  Was it Mrs. Casano, Mrs. Schlossberg, Mrs. Frizzle or Mrs. Lichtenstein?
