Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 16 April 2017

Harry Potter is one of the most widely read book series in history, but it has virtually nothing to do with Australia.

If your team name is the title of a Harry Potter book if it was set in Australia, you will get a bonus point.

Harry Potter and the Dysfunctional Parliament

Harry Potter and the Flying Holden Commodore

Harry Potter and the Bunnings Sausage Sizzle

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Pretentious Inner City Hipsters

Anything that brings the Harry Potter books down under will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

Guessing that Burn for You by INXS is actually titled “I’ve Got Big Hair and a Synth.”

Guessing that the role of Hagrid in Harry Potter was originally going to be played by Daniel Radcliffe (which would have made for one hell of a twist), or Scarlett Johanssen (which would have been a very different film.)

Adding the fact that Georgia O’Keeffe was the one who painted “those weird vagina flowers.”

The team who guessed that what Sean Connery, George Costanza, Peter Garrett, and Dwight Eisenhower had in common was being men.  (If you don’t have our answer, your answer had better be both correct AND interesting.)

The team who were confused when we asked about the average number of shoes owned by Australian women, claiming it was impossible to know because they don’t all have the same number.
