Trivia Wednesday

~ Turns out that when the PowerPoint that holds all of the questions acts up, sometimes you see the answers for the next 3 questions.  However, since you're a good Catholic girl with a good amount of Catholic guilt, you'd rather write a wrong answer instead of cheat.  However, no one on your team feels that same way...

~ Reason #987 to go to NYC - to see 1984 currently playing on Broadway.  Because aside from seeing the answers (see above), there's no way I would have ever guessed the language in the book was called Newspeak.

~ Even when your team manages to gain an impressive 134 points at the end, you will still only be in 3rd place when you are playing at a serious heavy-hitter restaurant.  The number of points these people manage to get on a weekly basis is ridiculous.

~ The rating "the worst!" fluctuates.  There are 2 levels - normal and the worst.  And pretty much anyone can be deemed the worst at any point in time.  Also, those who are sometimes the worst but are most often normal, are called "cuspy."

~ It helps when a player googles some info on the Facebook hint of the week ahead of time.  Because if we hadn't discussed how surprising it was that Dr. Oz was Muslim, we would never have gotten that question correct. Yay Google!

~ It's wonderful that Shakespeare only wrote one play that contained a sorcerer, because The Tempest helped get us 40 points.

~ Also, my ridiculous love for all things MASH, really came in handy for questions on Military rank.

~ Is it a good thing or a bad thing that our team answered 3 questions on Drugs in Songs correctly?

~ Once again, the sports ball questions are the bane of our existence!  Doubly so this time, because it wasn't just one question, it was a half time question, so we didn't gain lots of points!

~ File this under things that I never even thought of - a rule in the NFL states that all chin guards must be white.  Why exactly is this the case? I haven't googled yet, because it's much more entertaining to speculate.
