We're #1!

I have like zero competitive genes in my body.  When I was younger, I would often cheat to help the other team.  Apparently you're not supposed to give the other team answers to help them win.  Who knew?  However, I do have to say, coming in first in Trivia this week, was pretty darn fun.  It's happened a handful of times, but I've never actually been there for it. Until this week.  

Of course, when you're number 1 in a sea of 4 teams, it sort of takes the shine off of it a bit. But we're still number one so...take that. 

In our search for trivia gold, we learned a few things this week.  Though, not as many as usual, because I'm feeling the questions were easier for some reason.  Maybe it's just that they were suited to our unique and ridiculous specialties.

~ A random out of the ordinary psych diagnosis, you may have gotten wind of by watching an old episode of ER, can come in handy when needing to decipher some strange condition, which also happens to be the final question.  (Of the 4 teams, we were the only ones that got it right, I might add...  yay us!)

~ Vietnam is a country that borders China and is also the last country in the alphabet that borders China.  Sometimes you should go with your gut. I didn't think I was right, because I swore Vietnam was an island nation.  Oops!

~ Spock from Star Trek was a fan of logical philosophy which is a thing.

~ An obsession with Broadway and Nathan Lane, may help you answer a question on Samuel Beckett plays (Let's not mention I thought Waiting for Godot was the ONLY play he ever wrote...)

~ A yearly pass to Disneyland is only $1000 which is seriously not that expensive.  I would have thought Disney would have emptied our pockets way more than that. 

~ Sometimes Trivia may lead to new ideas. For instance, developing a fantastic idea for a non-profit.

~ Other times, trivia leads to expensive ideas.  For instance, flying to Georgia for New Year's just because you love it there, and you want to see some singer play at an Irish Pub.
