    Hi,
    I'm trying to answer some trivia question from an article.
    I tried all over the internet to find the answer for this one, but i failed.
    can u help me?

    who said:
    "This year more and more people are dying that did not die any other year"

    or something to that effect, since the quote in the quiz is not in English it might be a variation of the given sentence.
    The options are:

    a. Leo Tolstoy's hairdresser.
    b. Scott Fitzgerald's barkeeper/barman.
    c. James Joyce's wife.
    d. Ernest Hemingway's fishing instructor.

    To be honest the quote is complete nonsense.
    Of course the people that died this year didn't die in any other year :shrug:

    I haven't heard of it though, so I can't help you.

    Are you thinking of the Will Shatner Star Trek quote?

    "Thousands of people who have never died before will be killed!"

    Have me eyes failed me, has my mind clouded my judgment, has my body sank into mist ... that I clearly see like stars' guidance light, choice d mentioning Ernest Hemingway?

    Save me from everlasting fall, an angel falling into ocean of truth through clouds of illusions of my mind, tell me I was wrong, break the pain away.

    oh you are tearing the poor little draqon on technicalities again...

    causing rain to pour on me oncemore, soaked from all the punishment of this cruel world. How could you, why would you, when nothing really matters not.

    Abridged the choice d, I typed "Hemingway" and you caught me like a fish in the ocean, teared me apart and now I am almost lifeless...why?

    I can't rise again, once fallen...left and deserted in desolate town of never born hopes and shattered dreams, I have no pillar to hold on to, no hand to reach to, no eyes to look up to. I can't stand up, I can't back up, without you

    I got a little tired of Hemingway's "vomiting on a Spanish street" milieu.

    Yeah, Wolverine should'a kicked his ass and chopped him up. But he decided to drink with him instead. Loser...

    Oh, God, tell me it isn't so. Do you have proof of this abomination, or must I imagine it with a cringing inward eye?

    I'm afraid it's true. Wolvie and Puck (Eugene Judd from Alpha Flight - Canada's very own super-hero team) got dragged through a time warp by Lady Deathstrike (Yukio Oyama) to the Spanish Civil War, where, strangely enough, Puck already was: watching Hemingway participate in a bullfight before the lot of them went for a bottle of wine or two. And then the Germans bombed the town, which later became famous because of a painting by Picasso.
    I forget which issue of Wolverine it was (and I'm not at home, nor geeky enough to drag through 4.5 gigabytes of comics to find out

    Well. I think I just vomited into my own mouth.

    Oh, wait. That was just my soul, trying to get out. No harm done.

    Sadder still, I know who all those people are. Even Picasso. Don't pretend you're not impressed. All of you.

    Not true.

    The wolverine comic in which hemingway is mentioned is
    Blood Sand and Claws - Vol2 #35.
    I've checked it and the sentance is not from there.

    I realy dont know from where.
