Alan Rock's Trivia

Q: Peter Roget was born on this date, 1779. What was he known for?
A: Roget's Thesaurus. He died in 1869. Expired. Passed away. Checked out. Gave up the ghost. Bought the farm. Kicked the bucket per se. Roget's thesaurus: a pretty good book, but a bit wordy.

Q: In the 1983 film, "The Big Chill", what part did actor Kevin Costner play?
A: A corpse, the suicide victim. But all anyone was his suit and tie during the opening credits. Where do you get experience for a role like that? In your spare time lay around at the funeral home? Go to cadaver school?
