I don't care about sports questions, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't belong in a general knowledge quiz.

Old Mother Hubbard

Went to the cupboard

To get her poor daughter a dress

When she got there

The cupboard was bare

And so was her daughter, I guess

I was down to 9, but guess language was part of it.

Never heard the "poem" or the idiom, and though I am very familiar with normal distribution curves, I never heard of Bell Curves before.

I have heard of bell curves, but retrieving it from memory was the problem. Don't think I could have produced it no matter how much time I had. (Unless it would be days, sometimes days later a word suddenly pops up..)
