This was a simpsons quiz that was in my university's newsletter. I actually answered every question correct, and won $10 for "beverages" at a local grocery store. See how many you can get. (note: QM means quiz master, and I have also edited most of the questions down to make it a bit shorter)

1. Where to begin, where to begin? Since it's usually best to begin at the beginning, that is where the QM will begin — who created the Simpsons?

2. The Simpsons weren't always the darling of the FOX network. When the show premiered back on April 19, 1987, it wasn't as a full-fledged half hour show, but as an animated short ("interstitals" in TV-jargon) for what already established show?

3. Slightly less vocal, but just as important, are the Simpson pets — a cat named Snowball II and a dog named what?

4. A cat named Snowball II implies that, at one point, there was a Snowball I. The original version of the Simpson kitty was, tragically, smashed flat by the Mayor's drunken cousin Cletus.

How can you tell Snoball I and II apart (aside from the fact that one is covered in tire tracks)?

5. True or False: "Homer" and "Marge" were the names of the creator's parents.

6. Being the caring, compassionate man that he is, Homer Simpson borrowed money from his dad, Abe Simpson, to make a down payment on his house, and then, three weeks later, shipped old Abe off to what nursing home?

7. Of course, Grandpa Simpson was not always a "pathetic old coot," as he so often seems. He was once a proud officer in World War Two, in, as he says, "the fightingest squad in the fightingest company in the third fightingest battalion in the army." He even sports a tattoo (a very wrinkly one) from his days in the armed services.

What is the name of the squadron in which Grandpa Simpson fought?

8. Who is the Simpson's family physician?

9. What was Moe's boxing name when he first took up the sport? What was his name when he dropped it?

10. One wears a purple vest and a black hat; one has hair that hangs over his eyes, and one has a shaved head.

What are these bullies' names, in the order that they were just described?

11. How frustrating to have a boss who never remembers your name! Such is the woe of Homer Simpson, whose boss, the venerable 104-year old multimillionaire C. Montgomery Burns, is forever encountering Homer and asking his assistant Smithers, "what is the name of this simpering dunderpot?" Of course, seeing that Burns is 104 years old, one might cut him a little slack — he most likely often forgets that the "C" in his name stands for what?

12. The Simpsons have received 31 Emmy Nominations. How many have they won?

13. How many Oscars (in the series, not real life) did "Itchy and Scratchy: The Movie" win?

14. As if all those Emmys aren't enough, "The Simpsons" holds the record for the greatest number of guest stars. Everyone from the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Ernest Borgnine to Meryl Streep to Bob Newhart have spent some time in Springfield.

Of the four stars mentioned above, who did not appear as themselves?

15. What band is set to appeared in this season's premiere?

16. On two separate occasions, a guest star lent his voice to "The Simpsons," but wasn't listed in the credits. One example of this is when Michael Jackson voiced the character of Leon Kompowsky, a man who thinks he is (and therefore talks like) Michael Jackson. Leon is Homer's roommate in the New Bedlam Rest Home for the Emotionally Interesting. Despite the fact that it is both obvious and acknowledged that Michael Jackson was behind the voice, the credits listed him as "John Jay Smith."

In another episode, "Sam Etic" is credited as being the voice of Lisa's substitute teacher, although the character is really voiced by whom?

17. One of the most popular guest stars provided the voice for favorite characters Lionel Hutz and Troy McClure. When this actor was killed in 1998, his characters were retired.

What was this actor's name?

18. We recognize Troy McClure from a lot of movies; which of the following is not one of them? The Revenge of Abe Lincoln; The Erotic Adventures of Hercules; My Mother, My Lover: A Tale from West Virginia; Hydro, the Man with Hydraulic Arms; P is for Psycho.

19. What is the name of the super-hot chilis that send Homer on a psychedelic quest in the episode entitled "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer"? Where and by whom are these peppers grown?

20. Jebediah Springfield, beloved founder of Springfield, was not the patriotic American he was made out to be. In the episode "Lisa the Iconoclast," Lisa Simpson finds that he was really an evil pirate named Hans Sprungfeld.

Hans was in need of what peculiar prosthetic body part?

21. Like father, like son: Throughout the years, Homer and Bart have both sold their soul for certain physical comforts.

To whom, and for what, did Homer and Bart sell their respective souls?

22. Famed Baltimore filmmaker John Waters stared in a "Simpsons" episode entitled "Homer's Phobia."

What, exactly, is Homer afraid of in this episode?

23. And that's not all he's afraid of. When Marge reveals herself to be a flying phobic, Homer brags that he is scared of nothing. One word from Marge, however, sends him screaming from the room in terror.

What did Marge mention to so thoroughly terrify her husband?

24. The QM wants exact data here: How much older is Bart than Lisa?

25. What is the name of the car that Krusty endorses? (Hint: It's two lanes long and four lanes wide; smells like a steer and seats forty-five.)

26. In honor of the Season Premiere, what weekly magazine is printing 24 different covers for the same issue, each cover showing a different Springfield resident?

I shall post all the answers in a day or two.

Nope, it was sock puppets.
The question said "one word from Marge", but it was actually two.
