Trivia Tuesday

~ Even if your numbered guess is ridiculously out of the ball park (about 3 million out of the ball park...) adding "and 4" to the end of the guess somehow makes it a funnier guess and will most likely make more people agree with you.  You'll still be wrong, but at least you'll be laughing.

~ Folgers is apparently the best selling coffee in the United States which, as we learned this evening, enrages the Dunkin Donuts coffee lovers.

~ Fracas is a "hard" word to spell according to the question askers.  I'm not sure how anyone would go about spelling that particular word any differently.  However, quarrel - which was the word used in the definition of fracas is a bit more difficult, seeing as I could have sworn there was another L in there somewhere.

~ According to some stat firm, it takes most men 120 sweeps of a 3 blade razor to get completely clean shaven.  I would like to know - as well as everyone else in the bar - just how hairy you have to be to require 120 sweeps of a razor?  

~ Mae West was an original blonde bombshell in the movie Every Day's a Holiday.  There's a chance I knew this because it was in one of the Susan Branch illustrations in her book.  There's also a chance that I'm imagining that.  One can never be sure.  At any rate, no one believed me anyway and we didn't wager any points so I suppose there's that.

~ Gepetto is Pinocchio's father.  My team mates think it's less weird that I've never seen Pinocchio than the fact that I've never seen Peter Pan. 

~ The only upside to having restless leg syndrome is that sometimes it's the answer to a trivia question. 

~ Somehow our team is very, very good at answering questions about Heath Ledger.  For a team that could only name 5 of his movies after a few minutes, those 5 managed to be the answer.  It was almost spooky.

~ Playing one Elton John song after you've just asked a question about another Elton John song is just playing dirty.  Do you have any idea how difficult it is to remember the lyrics to Tiny Dancer while Candle in the Wind is playing?
