So it snowed on Saturday. First time since 1979 that it has snowed in October. Final week of Season 23 Trivia.
State flower of Alaska is the Forget-me-not. A spermologer is a collector of trivia. Mia Farrow was on the first cover of People magazine in 1974. A dime has 118 ridges. "Utopia" means "nowhere"
How many hearts does an earthworm have? Who was the youngest man to become a general in the U.S. Army? What does the "C" stand for in J.C.Penney? What is "chrometophobia" the fear of? How many minutes does it take the light from the sun to reach the earth?
Good luck!

Back to regular trivia tomorrow night at Cobblestone.
And from last week: 17 years is the difference between George Thorogood, "Bad to the Bone"(1981) and Faith Hill, "Breathe"(1998). "Words" is the other hit for Missing Persons. ( I guess "Destination Unknown" could be another hit, even though none of their songs made it into the Top 40)
Now for some new questions:
Within 10 days, how many days does it take a snail to travel 1 mile? In what state was Colonel Sanders born?
What is keraunaphobia, the fear of? How many holes on a chinese checkerboard? What 2 men, who have nothing really to do with baseball, are in the Baseball Hall of Fame?
5 questions is a good start. Not bad questions either, if I should say so myself.
Just a note on the current season of "The Amazing Race" - Always remember to exchange your money and, don't pay full price for anything if you don't really have to, especially taxi rides.
Only 2 weeks left in the regular season of Season 23 and we have a 35.5 point lead at our location. If we hold on for these 2 weeks, we earn our free pass to the championship! We can do it team!

4th night I've had enough
It's a jinx. PuTangClan is bad luck. Can't get that final question right. Forget the $500 bucks. We can't catch them now anyway. Some good questions though.
What is the other hit song for the artist that sings " Walking in LA"? Next week a lot more questions on various subjects. Sorry this is late. I was so disgusted over losing.
By the way, final question on the 4th night: What is the difference in years between release of George Thorogood's "Bad to the Bone" and Faith Hill's "Breathe"?
Also answers from previous nights - Company B released "Fascinated" in 1986, Scott Weiland is lead singer for Stone Temple Pilots and Rob Halford is lead singer for Judas Priest ("Breaking The Law").
Glenn Frey, formerly of the Eagles, sang "You Belong to the City"
"Kids In America" was sung by Kim Wilde, whose other hit was "Keep Me Hangin' On". "Something So Strong" was sung by Crowded House, whose other hit was "Don't Dream It's Over".
A lot more to come!

3rd night didn't start out so well
Missed the whole first half of trivia tonight. Why? Because of a flat tire. In the dark, in the rain, 20 miles from home. Spare was flat, and besides, it couldn't be lowered from underneath the car because the cable is rusted. Called Geico for roadside assistance. I'm covered to have it towed to the nearest Chevy dealer. Only 12 miles away (in the opposite direction from home). I have to pay for any miles over 12. Whatever.
23.5 points at trivia tonight. PuTangClan 97 points. Oh well, might as well just work on making it to the Championship as a team. Our team name: Premature Evacuation We have a lead of 30 points at our location. Tomorrow night - $100 cash game to the winner. All audio.
What was the other hit for the artist that sang: "Kids In America"? How about the other hit for the group that sang, "Something So Strong"?
I am gonna need trivia questions to post. Any contributions?

1st night of the weeklong competition
How does Pu Tang Clan know all of those answers? Out of a possible 80 points they get 66!! We ended up with 48 points. All music and all audio questions. I've got to hand it to Brian, he comes up with some good questions. What was that song by "Company B"? Who is the lead singer for Stone Temple Pilots? The lead singer for Judas Priest? We will try again tomorrow night @ Cobblestone. Gotta do better than 48 points, even though we finished in 5th place out of 11 teams.
