Well done everyone! Great quiz @Mi-Amigo
(Still laughing at @TheresaV thinking Cujo was a Chihuahua
) Sorry @TheresaV you would only know that if you had read the book or seen the film lol
Pfffttt I notice Physics is next week. Meh!!
I thought Stephen King so must be scary and the scariest dog there is must be a Chihuahua
Thanks for another great game @Mi-Amigo and I am glad to see that @gmarkj and @LukasB have now entered a battle of naming each other in these
I didn't notice that on first pass of the answers @TheresaV !
Wouldn't mind the money that the actual author got from the book and all the adaptations!

I`ve yet to search out most of the questions for Monday`s WRQ, but it should be an interesting mix with some easier and others not-so-easy questions.
I always find it fascinating which categories appeal and those which don`t for those taking part. Everyone has their "favourite" subjects and those subjects which are disliked or even hated. But the main thing is to make the WRQ fun

Biology will be good for me... but as we didn't do physics at school, that's why it's a no.
For those who think wow, no physics. I was at school in the late 1940's and 50's. 
Of course my lads did physics and helping them with homework also helped me.
Oh and physics to do with F1 cars is also ok.
