Sunday is Father's Day so this week's trivia is in honor of dads everywhere. Winner for the past three weeks, Chris Dixon is looking to extend his streak. Natalie Blake, who's studying to be a hair stylist, is hoping to defeat the current champ.

Questions

1. According to Greek mythology, who was the father of the gods and mortals?

2. What state first held a father's day celebration in 1910?

3. What is the most popular gift given on Father's Day (according to the U.S. Census Bureau)?

4. Who played the dads in the original version and the remake of "Father of the Bride?"

5. Who is considered the Father of Modern Biology?

6. In the movie, "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," what actor played Indy's dad?

7. Name the musician dad who named two of his kids Moon Unit and Dweezil.

8. Who were the first father/son presidents of the United States?

9. What famous comedian said, "Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope?"

10. In Shakespeare's play, what is Hamlet's father?

Chris's answers

1. Zeus.

2. I'm guessing New York.

3. Books.

4. Don't know the first, but Steve Martin was in the remake.

5. Darwin.

6. Sean Connery.

7. I don't know, the guy from Aerosmith.

8. The Adams ... John and John Quincy.

9. Adam Sandler.

10. A ghost.

Natalie's answers

1. Zeus.

2. California.

3. A tie.

4. I've never seen either one.

5. I can't even guess.

6. The best James Bond ever! Sean Connery.

7. Frank Zappa.

8. John Adams, the second president, and John Quincy Adams, the fifth? Or sixth, I can't remember.

9. Woody Allen.

10. His father's dead and comes back as a ghost.

Conclusion

Well, Dixon's reign as trivia champ ends with his loss to Blake who now faces the challenge of defending her new title. In the meantime, don't forget dear old dad on Father's Day. And maybe give the necktie thing a rest this year. Your father will probably thank you.
