Tonight's Topic: "Tell the Truth"
ANSWERS = [ A - C - C]
Rated: TV-PG
    Good morning/evening, everybody! Thank you for joining us last night.
    We hope you discovered something interesting during the time we spent together on the Insomniac Net last night.
        -- The ever-delightful Shelley [KF7TBA] and just plain old LW [K7LWA] (email K7LWA.INS@gmail.com).
    (Please Note: The Net Controller's Answers are always CORRECT (even if they aren't every time!)
    Please check out Winsystem's Insomniac Trivia Net page.
    You can get these Questions & Answers at the Yahoo-groups' Messages Link.

       

=================
    To tell the truth, most of us know the Legend of Will Tell.
    As the legend goes, over seven hundred years ago (1307), William Tell shot an arrow through a piece of fruit on his son’s head.
    Most historians believe this famous archer never existed.*
    Accordingly, we offer for your approval, 3 Questions about that the Legend of William Tell?
    Please choose your answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) Answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each of the questions.  
    Good Luck and remember, YOU are always a WINNER with us, regardless of your actual answers!
=================
++ "Tell the Truth" ++
Question #1: What was the fruit that Tell shot an arrow through atop his son's head?
        A. An apple, or
        B. A banana, or
        C. A cantaloupe.
            Seven hundred years ago, William Tell shot an arrow through an apple on his son’s head and launched the struggle for Swiss independence. Or did he?
               
Question #2: What was Tell's "nationality" based on where lived?
        A. Prussian, or
        B. Italian, or
        C. Swiss.
        Tell’s story is cherished by the Swiss and central to their sense of origins—
        witness the image of Tell’s crossbow stamped on every item of export that passes Switzerland’s borders, as proof that it is truly made in Switzerland
           
Question #3: Which 1950's Cowboy TV series ended each episode with a "Hi Ho, Silver" and finale of Rossini's William Tell Overture?
        A. Maverick, or
         B. Wagon Train, or
        C. The Lone Ranger.
        Rossini - William Tell Overture finale "Lone Ranger theme" (Youtube Video)
           
        [SOURCE: In Search of William Tell -- Smithsonian Magazine]
=================
++ QUESTION OF THE DAY ++ -- Who was William Tell? - SWI swissinfo.ch
        "Was he a real person and, if so, is there any evidence supporting the claims that he performed the heroic deeds attributed to him?"

*In Search of William Tell -- Smithsonian Magazine Seven hundred years ago, William Tell shot an arrow  through an apple on his son’s head and launched the struggle for Swiss independence. Or did he?
