DEDICATION: These contests are dedicated to my sister, Peggy, who answered more of the questions correctly than anyone else so far.

QUESTION

Sexual harassment is certainly nothing new. This major female actress, wrote this about working at her classic TV series:

“That show catered to every kinky thing imaginable – and no wonder considering some of the writers we had. We had a foot fetishist I’ll never forget. That’s why I was always being photographed in leather boots with my feet stuck in the air somehow. Another one was fascinated by bondage, so for another string of shows I was always getting tied up in some outlandish way. And the leather! God, I thought I’d never get out of all that leather. ”

Name the actress. (Then stop sexual harassment!)

FINE PRINT: The prize is only available to those with mailing addresses in the US. Foreign winners will have to settle for the miniscule fame alone, and the satisfaction of a job well done. But don’t forget you can always listen to all the music , read all my writings, and see all the art, whether you win or lose – and I’d be glad if you did!

Musea Quiz 10/17

The answer to, and winner (if any) for, our last contest question of:

I say Earthlings have landed on Mars. You say no.
When I tell you why I know that it is true, you will say … Yes Tom you are correct and I was wrong. Explain what is going on!

IS …
Bacteria are Earthlings just as much as you and me. Though NASA does everything it can to keep the outer space hardware sterile, I doubt they cover EVERY bacterial Earthling. So I say, recently, Earthlings have landed on Saturn – and in all likelihood when the spacecraft Cassini fell into Saturn 9/15/17, there were bacteria aboard and they went down with the ship!

I had no correct eligible answers. Seems you didn’t have a GERM of an idea on this one. I don’t dumb down so please wise up.
