QR–Cure–Quizzing Realms–328

Here’s a relatively easy one.

who

Identify both the artist and the context.

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

************

Three answers, and spot on! The artist is indeed Banksy, from London, famous for graffiti art all over the city. The context, as is evident from the clever wordplay, is the infamous phone-tapping scandal that spelt doom for News of the World.

Spurting out again.

This is a non-entertainment question, in a loose sense, actually. wonder if many people will consider what this insect does as entertainment,

The name is obvious from the filename. Just tell me the claim to fame of this insect.

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

******************

Four answers, three correct. This insect makes the loudest noise possible, if one considers his body size in ratio with that sound. and the BUGger apparently does it by rubbing its penis!!

This ought to be superbly easy!

There was a point of time in his life when he wore two watches on the same hand, so that he could keep track of time in his own country and in Switzerland too, where his children studied. He even confessed in a recent interview that he has worn three watches on the same hand at a certain point of time in life, but that was simply because he thought it looked stylish.

Now, years later, he has worn two watches on the same hand for a film that itself is a cheeky nod towards his younger days.

Who is this person, and which film are we talking about?

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

PS: Biz World, the book, has already gone into a reprint, with the publishers having run out of the initial 4,000 copies! Go get yours from www.flipkart.com or Dial-A-book!

Eleven answers, nine correct. This is indeed Amitabh Bachchan, who repeated the feat in Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap.

Nine answers, and seven of them are correct! Here’s a bit of explanation first. A Lazarus Pit is a fictional putrid reservoir in which Batman’s villain Ra’s al Ghul, an immortal, rejuvenates himself. That green thing is a Lazarus Pit, and Liam Neeson, last seen as Ghul in Batman Begins, shot a few scenes near and in it at an undisclosed location near Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India, for Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises!

Sorry for the looooooooong hiatus, folks. This blog will be limping back to normalcy now.
