Trivia Tuesday

~ I'm always astounded by the shear number of things that I remember from grade school and the shear number of things I forget - the forget stack is much larger than the remember. However, for some unknown reason, I pulled 271 as the number of electoral college votes a candidate needs to become president.  Unfortunately, the answer was 270. Just for the record though, I'm taking the win.  

~ While my knowledge of movies may be limited - apparently I was the only one at the table to not know how Jack secured his ticket on the Titanic - the odds that I know a movie question will increase exponentially if the movie has been nominated for an Oscar recently.  I credit my love for movie awards and not the fact that I've seen any of the movies themselves - because I haven't.

~ Geography is an unnecessarily evil category that must be eliminated from the general roster of categories.  I'm not sure our collective team has ever gotten a geography question correct.

~ While I credit myself a lover of all things Golf, I only managed to name 3 players that have won more than 9 championships (out of a possible 6.)  That's terrible!  I thought for sure Arnie had more than 8 wins.  

~ Asking a bunch of people in a bar any question revolving around the present star of a Disney Channel show, is never going to end well.  I'm thinking we're not the Disney Channel's target audience.

~ Things I learned tonight: The Phantom of the Opera's first name is Erik.  Who knew? And Bad Lip Reading has its own YouTube Channel.  I know what I'll be doing tomorrow...

~ Playing trivia in Mardi Gras masks, beads and hats just makes things more exciting.  Laissez le Bon Temps Rouler!
