~ When discussing my friend Jen the English teacher's October celebration of Chaucer, you're supposed to use a soft C as opposed to a hard C - Chauc-tober. And if you use the hard C, it's much more fun than it should be, because she's so not a fan of saying it that way.
~ It turns out that the question I was convinced we'd get last week on Nora Ephron, we actually got this week instead. It wasn't about who she was married to, but I'm still going with the quiz-writer knowing I knew stuff about her.... : )
~ Theatre questions are always easy. When you're a theatre nerd, you want hard questions, not something as easy as what show was just nominated for a record breaking 16 Tony's? (Hamilton in case you were wondering.)
~ Edison invented the light bulb in a lab in Menlo Park NJ. According to the rest of the people our team, he also had labs in Florida and California that they've visited. That seems like way too many labs for one person to have.
~ One member of our team was told by another member of our team that she knows nothing about vegetables. However the person that supposedly knew nothing about vegetables was closest to the right answer. Funny how that works out.
~ After many years of Spanish, I was prepared for a difficult translation question when the category was Spanish. So being asked what is the name of the animal that means "little armored one" was a bit of a let down. (Armadillo obviously)
~ The Molotov Cocktail was not created by the nation of Moltovia as I assumed but in Finland. : ) I still have no idea why someone on our team knew that.
~ When asking a question about the song "Don't Stop Believin' ", it's only right that you should play said song during the next category. I feel they missed a prime opportunity to see us rock out to some Journey.
