[net.trivia] The world's hardest trivia question

tom (11/10/82)

Well, I am sure many of you have been pondering about the worlds hardest
trivia question, that was sent out way back in the middle of the summer.
It seems that I just forgot all  about it. But here is the answer for
all of you that actually waited all this time.

For those of you who have forgotten the question, here it is:

     In what remote way was Scot Tracy responsible for the destruction
of the world?

There is a clue that goes along with this, if you can possibly
make any sense out of it.

     We'll meet again on the top of the totem pole.

As promised this is an extremely obscure clue yet very much to
the point if you can understand the component references.

Since no one in there right mind could possibly understand this clue,
I will attempt to explian it.

"We'll meet again" is the theme song from a very famous movie.
And, the bird found on the top of a totem pole is a Thunderbird.

If you still don't have a clue about any of this, don't feel bad.  I know
of no one that could answer this question (except the author).

So here it is, the answer you've all been waiting for:






















Shane Rimmer, the voice of Scot Tracy in Gerry Anderson's THUNDERBIRDS
series played the co-pilot of the B-52 that dropped the bomb on
Russia's doomsday machine in Stanley Kubrick's DR. STRANGELOVE!




No flames please.
