Trivia Tuesday

~ Apparently a "coincidence" is not a type of fish yet a "fluke" is.

~ Finally my love for all things Sherlock paid off.  Though it was thoroughly disheartening to hear the English teacher at the table compare Doyle to Nicholas Sparks.  Doyle was so much better than that tear-jerker writer!

~ Those ridiculous click-bait headlines on Facebook were a huge advantage this week.  Daryl Strawberry is attempting to get Doc Gooden off of cocaine.  Why was this a headline and more importantly why was it even a question?

~ Coin Rub is an anagram of Rubicon which is a river - however, I'm sticking to my guns on it sounding much more like a clever computer game...

~ Things you don't hear every day - a 767 sucks up enough air during takeoff to fill the Goodyear Blimp in 7 seconds.  I suppose the air traffic people stationed on the runways just got a lot more appreciated.

~ Paul McCartney sings the words "Let it Be" 36 times in the song "Let it Be."  I've listened to A LOT of live albums and I have to say - I could have sworn it was 3 times that at least. 

~ Even though we won shots tonight, it was not an appropriate time for the bartender to bring out some crazy Kahlua concoction that he used to drink in high school that should be downed with a straw.  I had a teeny tiny sip - as is the rule - then downed my Iced Tea chaser.  Oh dear god it was awful!

~ Why, oh why is the half time question always about some sport?  This time it was which QBs had the most passing yards.  I'm not sure I could tell you what that exactly meant, let alone who had them.

~ My very favorite thing is when you see the category is pasta and before the question is answered you assume the answer will be Farfalle because that seems like a pretty good question.  And you're absolutely right.  Yay carbs!
