S19 E3 - Water, Water, Everywhere

Quiz and Hers

Prepare to get wet, because this week, Justin has the second installment in our loose series of quizzes themed around the four Classical Elements, with a six-question quiz about water! We also dive into discussions of classical music, movies, and one crazy sport.

3:04: Q1 (Movies & TV): Four years after winning an Oscar for Best Director for Dances with Wolves, what actor starred in Waterworld, which is mostly known for being a ridiculously expensive, not very good, sci-fi action movie?

8:34: Q2 (Times & Places): What is the largest freshwater lake by volume in the world, the oldest lake in the world, and the deepest lake in the world?

16:00: Q3 (Music): What composer wrote Water Music, in response to a request from King George I for a concert on the River Thames?

26:50: Q4 (Sports & Games): At time of recording, Cal Berkeley’s men’s team has won 16 championships, and is the defending national champion, in what full contact sport?

33:46: Q5 (Arts & Literature): Like most seascapes, Christ Asleep during the Tempest, or Christ on the Sea of Galilee, is dominated by water. What artist, better known for Liberty Leading the People, painted it?

39:02: Q6 (Everything Else): One of its more curious symptoms is a fear of water. Name this viral disease, sometimes called hydrophobia, which is transmitted primarily by animal bites.
