Just found this group last night. Wow, do I wish I been reading this
before I went to a pub quiz in Rhode Island a week ago.
I don't see that particular quiz here but I see many of the same
questions. (Congratulations to any of you who have all of this stuff
in your head.)
As much trivia as there is to quibble over, I would think that anyone
spending a day reading this group would pick up 10 or 20 points in the
next pub quiz.
Aren't they supposed to test how much information you've picked up
randomly, rather than how much you can memorize by reading the last 10
years' quizzes?
Well, enough preaching. I love the enthusiasm and knowledge I see on
this board.
There was one question in the pub quiz which I thought had a wrong
answer. I'll leave it up to you guys.
What was the Tin Man after in "The Wizard of Oz"?
Of course you know the answer-- A heart.
But someone at the table brought up, "What about an oil can?", which I
thought was a perfectly correct answer.
What do you think?
