The Headline Game – 2/21/07

There’s absolutely nothing to work with today at The Onion. The fake headlines are all clearly fake headlines. So instead, this week I invite you to play a different game. Sorry for the last minute substitution.

Six of the twelve names below have been the Secretary General of the United Nations. The other six are characters from Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace. Can you tell the historical names from the fantastical?

  1. Padme Amidala
  2. Kofi Annan
  3. Jar Jar Binks
  4. Boutros-Boutros Gali
  5. Lord Gladwyn Jebb
  6. Qui-Gon Jinn
  7. Obi-Wan Kenobi
  8. Ban Ki-Moon
  9. Trygve Halvdan Lie
  10. U Thant
  11. Chancellor Finis Valorum
  12. Mace Windu

Bonus Question: Can you pick out the current UN Secretary General from the list?

Answers: Phantom Menace, United Nations

How did you do?

    I got all except Chancellor Finis Valorum. “U Thant” seemed to fake to be real.
