    A Quiz


    I thought that it was about time we had another quiz. So here goes.

    1. Why do we sometimes call actors thespians ?
    2. In what year was the King's Cross fire ?
    3. What is the real name of Boris Karloff ?
    4. Who was England's goalkeeper for the 1966 World Cup ?
    5. Who invented the Spinning Jenny ?
    6. What is Turdus merula the Latin name for ?
    7. Who assassinated the Austrian Archduke, an event which ultimately led to the First World War ?
    8. What famous Australian building was designed by the Norwegian architect Jørn Oberg Utzon and opened in 1973 ?
