Weekly Trivia Question: Arthur Edition
Hello, this week's trivia question is brought to you courtesy of my childhood! Growing up my paren'ts never subscribed to cable tv so I was stuck watching a combination of CTV, CBC and of course TVO. I would wake up really early in the morning just to catch Magic School Bus and Arthur before the bus came.
I also read Marc Brown's Arthur books and I loved everything about them.
Your question this week is:
In the Arthur franchise, what country is the Brain's family from?
A second prize goes to the person who writes the best Word Out inspired re-mix of Arthur's Spelling Bee rap!
Rules and regs:
1) You have to be a resident of the city of Toronto to win a prize.
2) Your answer has to be submitted by Thursday August 7 at 11:59 PM.
3) You need to provide us with a valid email address if you want to be considered for the prize.
Winners will be contacted at the end of the week.

In the Arthur franchise, the Brain (Alan Powers) is a Senegalese descent (country: Senegal) as declared in the episode of “In My Africa”. However, according to the episode of “Buster Spaces Out”, it is revealed that the Brain has a family that lives in Texas, which is in the United States.
He is from the Republic of Senegal, in West Africa!
Brain’s family is from the Republic of Senegal in Africa as the others have said,
Arthur’s rap for his spelling bee was:
A-A-R-D…VARK, repeated x 3
So my remix would be:
W-O-R-D… OUT, W-O-R-D…OUT
A-A-R-D..VARK is the key
Is the rap that is this mystery
This word isn’t shut out
It belongs in WORDOUT
LOL I guess it’s ok
W-O-R-D OUT!
You heard it right!
W-O-R-D OUT!
It comes every summer
but it aint no bummer!
W-O-R-D OUT!
Cause there’s programs,contests, reviews
but it aint new news
We have it all from murder mysteries to Yarn bombing!
So stop stalling,
and start Word Out-ing!
W-O-R-D OUT!
