Answers for Visuals - Quiz 9
Hi !
The answers,

Pic 4 shows a Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids (initially the name of the band) flyer poster.
2. 38th Parallel North - Since 1948, it has been the line of demarcation between North Korea and South Korea. It also finds mention as Panmunjom which is a village on this line.
3. Tulsi Tanti (Suzlon)
4. Simon Templar aka The Saint (from the initials St) created by Leslie Charteris. Roger Moore played this character on the eponymous TV series and it helped him land the role of OO7.
5. Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath
6. Freemasons (the logo is referred to as the Masonic Square and Compasses)
7. Armageddon (from Mount Megiddo in the New Testament. It is the site of the final battle between God and Satan)
8. Ricky Ponting and the other guy is Eddie Barlow, a key member of the Proteas pre-Apartheid. The similarity is in their nicknames. One's 'Punter' Ponting and the other was 'Bunter' Barlow.
Barlow was nicknamed so because of his resemblance to the character Billy Bunter.
Barlow was also said to be so short-sighted early in his life that he couldn't see beyond the front wheel of his bicycle.
9. Thomas Alva Edison (Pic 1) tested his invention, the gramophone with a recording of 'Mary had a Little Lamb' which was written by Sarah Josepha Hale (Pic 3). She was also instrumental in making Thanksgiving (Pic 2 - A painting by Jean Leon Gerome Ferris depicting the custom) a National holiday by writing to five Presidents. During Lincoln's presidency, her actions bore fruit.
