Trivia Tuesday

~ Drinking a margarita before eating dinner is a sure fire way to make your head spin.  Also, attending Trivia after only 2 hours of sleep makes me fairly chatty.

~ Attending Trivia is good for something - in this case, it's good for getting you into the Semi-Finals for the playoffs for the second time.  Who said you have to do good every week?  Apparently attendance is important too!  Woohoo!

~ The addition of extra people who really want to contribute even though you're team is at its maximum of 8 people is really, really annoying.  Some are better than others at hiding this annoyance.  (For once I was one of the better ones : )

~ 5 of the 8 people on our team went to Catholic school and yet somehow we knew the Hebrew word for a good deed was Mitzvah.

~ Verboten means forbidden in German which is apparently mostly associated with the law.  Who knew?  I just know it's something you hear a lot of Germans say in WWII movies.

~ When basing an entire category on movie couples, the quiz master apparently couldn't pass up the chance to use Jack and Rose from Titanic.  I know some questions are easier than others but really?  Did you have to give one that was that easy?  I've never even seen the movie and I knew that.

~ Viktor and Ilsa are from Casablanca, not Frozen as someone on our team suggested.

~ The Aerosmith song "Walk this Way" was based on the scene using that phrase in Young Frankenstein.  All I could see when they asked the question was John Travolta bopping to the BeeGees in Saturday Night Fever - a movie none of us had ever seen.  For the record most of us had seen Young Frankenstein. Sometimes we just stink!

~ 400 women broke a record for longest rug weaved.  They did not however weave a rug that was 10 miles long as was strongly suggested by a teammate.  

~ Jimmy Stewart retired at the rank of Brigadier General after fighting in WWII and Vietnam.  While I was the one who suggested this answer, I had no idea he was that high ranking nor did I think he ever fought in Vietnam.  I now like him even more than I originally did, which was a lot.
