The Return of Tuesday Trivia

~ After 2 weeks away, it felt good to be going back to Trivia.  Unfortunately, that good feeling didn't translate to points.  Whereas we were a first half team before our 2 week hiatus, tonight we couldn't even crack the first set of 3 questions.  Sad state of affairs...

~ "Take my Breath Away" (which happens to be sung by the band Berlin AND appears on the Top Gun soundtrack, just in case you were wondering) is the perfect song to interpretive dance to - which is something I didn't even know was a thing until this very evening.

~ When being asked a question about the flag of Belgium, it helps to be in a bar selling Belgian beer on a sign that happens to have the flag on it.  However, it would have helped more if we didn't actually know the answer - turns out my clever emoji using last year while in Belgium helped me to remember the colors all by my lonesome.

~ Area 51 is in Nevada not New Mexico. That must explain all the crazies on the strip in Vegas - at least half of them have to be aliens, right?

~ When I heard the Facebook clue this week would be NYC streets I was super excited - finally a chance to shine.  Of course, when the question asked what the H-O in SoHo stands for, I was pretty bummed.  Why are all my categories soft ball questions?  (Houston in case you were wondering.)

~ The average size of an NFL player is 246 pounds.  I feel like the little dudes are bringing the average down, because have you seen the likes of Haloti Ngata lately.  He's HUGE!

~ I must admit to never knowing when Beyonce has a song out.  But I didn't even realize she had a sister that sang.  And we definitely didn't realize that her album is number 1 this week. I feel that in a world obsessed with Beyonce (I just don't get it!), this piece of information would be higher up in the newspapers...

~ The last category of the evening was Assassins - I was pretty excited because based on Karma alone (we were in need of a bit of a win after the dreadful night), the last question was going to ask what John Wilkes Booth said after he shot Lincoln (something I learned watching Timeless this week and for some reason remembered - Sic Semper Tiranus).  However, Karma kicked us in the butt and the question was on who was assassinated in 1948 - long after Lincoln died.  Apparently Ghandi.  I have to say - I'm not even sure I knew he was killed.
