Trivia Tuesday

~ I have a complete inability to flirt.  When a cute boy with a super cute dog walks by, I will talk only to the dog then go on my merry way...

~ My super cute Talbot's cardigan makes me look like an "art teacher." I'm ok with it, because I love that sweater!

~ The first 2 questions out of the gate were about things most of us had never heard of - Corey Feldman signing a weird song on the Today show and where Anheuser Busch has its HQ.  However the very last question EVERYONE knew.  I think the trivia writers were playing it a bit backward tonight.

~ Even though our entire table was 99% sure that we had the Halftime question before, we still managed to completely bomb it, only guessing 2 of the 6 answers correctly.  Who knew there were loads of billionaires in the UK & Brazil?  Certainly not us?  There's a great banking system in Switzerland, why the heck don't they all live there?

~ Everyone loves the movie Toy Story (except the 2 weirdos on my team that have never seen it...) yet I hadn't a clue the year it came out (1995), who voiced Mr. Potato Head (Don Rickles) and who wrote the music (Randy Newman.)  I feel like this is one of those categories I should most definitely have known.  

~ The answer to the Cold People question was not me.  I feel like they missed a chance there.

~ We learned new words tonight - Punic Wars, Phoenician, Phyrgian.  And I've just realized they all begin with P.  Not that that helped us at all, we only learned that the words were a thing.  We still don't know what they actually mean.

~ Multiple people noticing that the number answer you've just written is a palindrome is a simple pleasure of nerds.

~ A Giant Squid could have an eye that is up to 10 inches in diameter.  A fact that I could have lived my entire life peacefully getting into the ocean, without knowing.  Now that's all I can think about...Creepy!

~ Finally a Broadway question!  And yep, I didn't know the answer.  Luckily the English teacher - who's never read Romeo and Juliet (a fact that I just learned and find alarming, but has nothing to do with this particular question) - knew that Raisin in the Sun was revived by Denzel Washington.

First week score: 118 - Not too shabby!  It helps that the question was super simple and revolved around the 2 HBO shows that won at the Emmy's this past weekend.  Yay for post award show recaps!
