Art History

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing which originated on  

WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. You may have heard the expression, “honor among thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we try to credit the blog that we stole it from, if possible. We also provide a link to the victim's questions in our "Previous Victims" widget. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") Sometimes we edit the original meme, to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, to select the best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from recently asked questions from a previously post. Cheers to all of us thieves!

 This is a quiz I picked up a long time ago and my notes say that it was stolen from "Master of Art History Asks," but I can't find a trace of that blog today.  But the questions were interesting (a couple downright relevant!)

1. Do you look forward to the spring?
2. Which area of the sciences do you enjoy the most?
3. If you could own a classical statue in the form of any figure from myth, religion, or even modern fiction, who would you choose?
4. Do you have a good relationship with your mother?
5. What is your favorite mythological story?
6. If you put on a big feast, what would you serve?
7. How do you have fun? (What is your favorite 'Earthly Delight'?)
8. Do you often look for hidden messages and meanings?
9. Have you ever received an award or special position?
10. If a revolution was about to happen in your country, would you be part of it?
11. Have you ever planned an act of revenge?
12. What is the most dramatic thing you have ever done?
13. Do you care about your weight?
14. Is your life moving too slowly or too fast?

Here's something different for this week.  

There is a woman named "Wendy Weetabix" who wrote a blog called That's My Bix, but the last entry was from 2015.  But she has been posting random questions for the past several months on Facebook.  I went through and picked a few of them for us to answer this week.

1. What is a normal thing that took you an embarrassingly long time to learn?
2. In what ways are you old-fashioned?
3. What is the best sandwich you've ever eaten? Where did you get it? What made it so delicious?
4. What are you currently not bragging about that you should totally brag about?
5. What food have you never tasted and are most interested in trying?
6. What history facts were you surprised to learn because it was never covered in school?
7. What is something that you waited entirely too long to start or stop doing? What made you say "Why did I wait so long?"
8. What socially expected thing do you hate doing the most? What thing about polite society really grinds your gears?
9. What is something about your city that I should know if I'm going to visit? What is the hidden "must see" that you always tell friends and visitors to not miss
10. What do you miss most about childhood?
11. What "fact" did you learn in school that is not true or no longer true?
12. What's your favorite piece of useless trivia?
13. What's your best go to homemade "lazy" meal
14. What's the title of this current chapter in your life?
15. What is a habit or practice that you learned from your childhood that you didn't realize was "weird" until you were an adult?

These questions were on a site by Debbie Hodge, which apparently once had more blog content, but now seems to be mostly devoted to scrapbooks -- content, supplies, etc.

The artwork is by Picasso.

2.  The most expensive bill you paid last month.
