In the past few weeks, I have constantly been urged by my closest friends, family and other Michael Jackson Fans (that have bought COUNTLESS ITEMS of MJ Memorabilia from Me online … AND … due to the special place Michael had in our hearts and what he had done for our family, which led to my personal knowledge of a lot of things about him and his life) to construct these facts in quiz form and make them available for other MJ Fans Locally as well as Online. I then took it a step further and thought, “I have so many facts and things it would be like giving THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD in one page!”. Therefore, I decided to split them up into categories (Fun and Actual) and will publish them one at a time. When you are fortunate enough to touch Michael’s world and have it touch you back like I had, these quizzes will have a special meaning to you as well and besides that . . . ARE A LOT OF FUN !!! I also wanted to do something to give Michael something to SMILE about if he were here . . . And what better way to do it than to give his Fans and possibly “Fans to be” a tiny informative little dose of MJ’s World while doing two of the things Michael used to LOVE to do himself . . . HAVING FUN and LEARNING !!! So let‘s see how much you know, or how much you THINK you know . . . About . . . “The King Of Pop”!

Since this is Quiz #1, this is OBVIOUSLY going to be the easiest. Remember, I am trusting all of you to challenge yourselves HONESTLY. If you cannot get even ONE of these . . . Just don’t tell anybody you even tried and you should be ok! ANY MJ FAN SHOULD KNOW ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS WITH NO RESEARCH EFFORT WHATSOEVER !!! That is why this quiz is entitled . . .
