August 28, 2009
As with my other connection postings you have to answer ten questions on various subjects and then try to find a connection between those answers, or at least between part of each answer. The connection is not necessarily anything to do with the initial ten questions simply a theme or link running through the original answers.
So here we go, in the first instance simply try to answer these ten questions
1. Which singer was born Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr. in 1943?
2. The current Member of Parliament for the British constituency of Hampstead and Highgate has two Academy Awards, who is this MP?
3. Which US president was assassinated in 1865 in Washington DC?
4. At what London Palace did Queen Elizabeth I die?
5. What singer had a UK number one in 1966 with ‘You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me’?
6. What 1997 film tells the story of a 1960s secret agent who is brought out of cryogenic freezing to fight his greatest enemy?
7. Who played Mike Waters in ‘My Own Private Idaho’ in 1991 and then two years later died of drug-induced heart failure at the age of 23?
8. What navigator and explorer set sail from Spain in 1492 with the Santa María, the Niña, and the Pinta?
9. What name was shared by the Apollo 11 command module and the first space worthy space shuttle which disintegrated during re-entry over Texas, on its 28th mission?
10. Which Frenchman is often described as the ‘Founder of the Modern Olympics’?
