I was expecting "beetle" to be one of the answers, thinking there was one by that name. I don't think the audience will know this, so I'll JTQ again.

"Cristo Redentor" is a wonder that can be built in Civ IV and Civ V. In Civ IV I believe it reduces the period of anarchy when changing civs to zero.

I didn't get the banana reference, either. Apparently, Warhol created the cover for the first album by the The Velvet Underground.

Spoiler

That image was also the subject of a lawsuit, this year, which may have brought this subject to the question writer's attention.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Velvet ... d_%26_Nico

In January 2012, the "Velvet Underground" business partnership (of which John Cale and Lou Reed are general partners) sued The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York after the Foundation licensed the cover's banana design to Incase Designs for use on a line of iPhone and iPad cases. The partnership's complaint contained four claims: one involving copyright law, and three relating to trademark law.

The only word needed to answer this question was "silkscreen." Warhol is the only artist among the choices who was known for his silkscreens. Dali did surrealistic paintings, Pollack did splatters, and Rivera was best known for his murals (and to a lesser extent, smaller oil paintings.)

For future reference, Warhol also designed the "Sticky Fingers" album cover for the Rolling Stones -- the one with the working zipper.

Thanks for that. I wasn't aware that none of the others didn't do silkscreen. The question about the Rolling Stones cover was a BAM question a while ago, IIRC.
