Over the weekend, I mentioned my addiction to the Traveler IQ Challenge. The same site also has about a dozen other quizzes including the USA Challenge and UNESCO sites. I earned a score of 113,735 (Level 8; traveler IQ of 126) on the USA Challenge and 587,525 (Level 10; traveler IQ of 102) with UNESCO sites. In full disclosure, I failed miserably in my first attempt at the UNESCO quiz as Henderson Island, UK is not even near Europe.
I haven’t done this in a while, but here are real searches (usually from Google) that real people used to find and visit this place.
Do the Spice Girls mention the Packers in a song?
Unless David Beckham joined the Packers, I’m going to guess no.
Did Debbie Gibson go to Ithaca College?
I wish.
"What is wrong with Katie Holmes"
Tom Cruise is too easy of an answer, right?
What's going on with Joe Hardy from 84 Lumber
Last I heard, the 84-year-old Hardy (he may be 85 at this point) divorced his third wife, 23-year-old Kristin Georgi, after only four months of marriage. I really thought they would make it.
Why do people hat Hillary
You know, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Clinton wear a hat. Maybe a lot of people dislike Clinton because of the vast right-wing haberdasher conspiracy against her.
Why are people so hard on Clinton
This seems like an inappropriate question.
Jaguars Mating
I think this aired on Animal Planet after Puppy Bowl IV.
"looks heavier" Tom Brady
So that’s why the Patriots lost the Super Bowl!
Finally, how exactly did Sean’s Ramblings end up on a Star Trek message board debate about Hillary Clinton?

Super Bowl Weekend Links
Are you just sitting around your home waiting for the game to start? Here are some things you can do to pass the time:
Take the Traveler IQ Challenge. The objective is to click locations on the map as quickly as possible. I made it through level 6 where I scored 29255 points on World Capitals – Medium (30000 points are needed to advance to the next level). My overall score was 195,932 points. Warning: this is very addictive.
Great recaps of Thursday night’s Lost episode by Kassy K and Liz Kelly/Jen Chaney at The Washington Post.
Speaking of the Post, Kevin Mohs, vice president for production at Animal Planet, was online on Friday answering questions about the Puppy Bowl.
Reebok is making Kool-Aid shoes! (via Deadspin).
Finally, Happy Groundhog Day! Unfortunately, this is another year that I am not in Punxsutawney for the celebration. Hopefully, I’ll be there next year. (I seem to say this every year!) Yes, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, so that means six more weeks of winter. For all of your Groundhog Day coverage, visit the official website of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club.
