Trivia Tuesday

~ Every roadtrip needs an entire playlist of songs that can be found under the category of "Best roadtrip song ever!" An inordinate amount of time is spent on compiling this list. When most of the songs are read - there's a very good chance that I will not have heard of most of them.

~ Luck is finally winning one of the Shot rounds because the team-member that would most know the answer, showed up at the exact time the question was being asked. 

~ The Pittsburgh Penguins beat The San Jose Sharks for the Stanley Cup this year.  That is not a team we've EVER heard of.  In the listing of all the teams (besides the Caps because I knew they were out in the earlier round), San Jose or Sharks never appeared. In fact, I'm fairly convinced that team doesn't really exist and the trivia-question -writer totally made it up...

~ Paul Ryan is currently 3rd in line to become President.  In another time, that would be a very sad case.  However, now that Trump may actually become President, having Ryan take over drops down to about 80th on the list of sad things about the US Government.

~ Asking a question on Brown v. Board of Education to a team that is 4/5 education majors was just giving us points.  However, since we really needed those points, we were pretty happy to take them.

~ Somehow toothpaste was stored in lead tubes during the war.  I'm guessing no one read the lit on the dangers of lead at the time.

~ Only 27% of people are literate in the South Sudan which a terrible statistic.  But to be fair most in that area of the world are slightly more worried about not being invaded by other countries, than settling down with a good book.

~ I hate Pink Floyd.  It's one of my least favorite bands.  So of course tonight's half time question was on Pink Floyd albums.  I suppose I should have listened more intently to my dad when he would go on about how great they are rather than whining about how much they stink!
