Quiz-O-Mania 1

Ok here is the 1st Quiz-O-Mania for all of you and I have ensured that you have to sweat over finding the answers.

==========================================================

1. This non profit Wakf organization invests its profits into a
charity venture having the same name as itself. It makes many products
which are household names in India. One of its products which is
supposed to have blood purifying properties was pulled up in health
magazines for having exceeded the maximum permissible arsenic levels
by over 40 times. Which company are we talking about???

2. Connect Pilot, Purple Giraffe, Sweet Taste of Liberty, Return of the Shirt, Okay Awesome, The Pineapple Incident, Life Among the Gorillas, Nothing Good Happens
After 2 A.M and Belly Full of Turkey amongst others (Note: List is not
exhaustive). They all have something in common. What is it?

3. Connect the following ships - Grand Turk ,Friendship, Wesley,
Salem, Birmingham and Hamilton.

4. This person played football for Arsenal and represented England in
a grand total of fourteen matches. He then shifted his focus to
cricket making his debut for Middlesex as a slow left arm bowler and a
tailender. He slowly moved up the batting order and went on to become
one of England's finest batsman. Who??

5. This product's unique packaging led to a stand-up comedian's theory
that its original intention was to make tennis balls, but on the day
that the rubber was supposed to arrive a bunch of ________ showed up
instead. Which product?

6. The Russian soldiers were in Paris, and they had very little time
to have a drink or two before they joined their military outfits
daily. So, every time they entered a Parisian bar to drink something
quickly, they shouted the words 'quick!, quick! in Russian. The French
bar owners thought the Russians
were talking about their establishments. Thus that word started to be
used for a watering-hole for alcohol-thirsty people. What word?

7. What term in publishing originates from the name of a Venetian
coin, originally used to buy the first newspapers published in Italy?

8. This person was hoping for a place in one of the league baseball
teams. He also used to play bass for several rock bands for about a
decade. These bands used to play in bars and night clubs. A lot of
people belonging to a particular profession used to hang around these
places after their days work. He was soon noticed by one of them and
convinced him to try out their profession. He soon started liking his
new work and became extremely famous in it. Who is this person???

9. He first came into limelite in 1987. He weighed nearly 70 Kgs then
and was a female. He switched gender in the mid 90's and put on some
weight (started weighing nearly a hundred and fifty pounds). He
developed a malignant growth on his head and proceeded to recieve
chemotherapy.Immensely popular with cancer patients, he however died
in August this year from prolonged illness. Who am I talking about???

10. This ranks as the most prestigious inhouse award that this
organization gives to its employees. The winners of this award are
those people who do something that they think will help the company
and do so without informing their higher ups or take their permission.
The act has to be a well thought one although it need not be a
successful one to win this award. The CEO of this company has gone on
record saying that while it is dangerous to reward such behavior it is
also extremely dangerous to bring into his company the culture of
having to ask permission to do anything. Name the company and the
award which takes its name from a famous logo of another company​

=========================================================

BEST OF LUCK
