Trivia Tuesday

So last week, I shared our recent adventure of a trivia night gone bad. The consolation though is questions for this week. Your challenge is to answer the ten questions below. Once again, there is no theme whatsoever.

1. On what continent is the city of Timbuktu?

2. Who received a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation in 2008 “for his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power.”?

3. Long before green, what color was closely associated with St. Patrick?

4. What animated series broadcasted a controversial episode (“Trapped in the Closet”) spoofing Scientology, on November 16, 2005?

5. The maxilla is associated with which human body part?
a. Foot b. Jaw c. Knee d. Ankle e. Finger

6. Which Major League baseball team was the first to wear “lucky” green jerseys on St. Patrick’s Day, in 2004?

7. What popular (and very colorful) monthly magazine has its own museum, Explorers Hall, in Washington, D.C.?

8. Which club founded in 1998 by Sue Ellen Cooper for ladies over 50 requires members to wear formal purple outfits to club functions?

9. Diamond, the hardest known substance, and pencil “lead,” one of the softest, are pure forms of what element found in all living things?

10. Which cloth pattern – traditional for bandannas and often on neckties – is named for the Scottish town where it was developed?

As always, please leave your answers in the comments section and don’t use the internet to search for answers. In case you're wondering, we scored 8 out of 10.

I'm not giving the source for these questions since I'm advocating not going to the venue for trivia. (Sorry for the double negative.)


Finally, stop by tomorrow for a very special contest with an actual prize. It's a really, really good prize. I'm being serious.
