Let me know what you think. I doubt Ted will get the joke, but who knows.

As always, everybody is welcome unlike the private POS run by srb. Hell, he's even welcome although he might need a pretty thick skin.

Also, I just put up another quiz on their site dealing with modified a/c called "Born Again Aircraft". You can play this or my other quizzes at http://www.funtrivia.com/profile/bhmbaglock.html

I got 9/10. The ICBM got me.

I thought you would do well. Over 50 people have taken it so far and only one other person has managed a 9. Lots of 3s and 4s.

Me too. I was stumped by a question about a town in Michigan

That didn't ring a bell so I re-read the quiz. Nothing I noticed regarding Michigan. Unless you're talking about something on the daily quiz.

It was something about Great Lake or Great Falls, I may have been a little out with it being in Michigan? ( I was thinking Eastern Great Falls from American Pie )

Which quiz?

The trivia (general knowledge 4 - harder) quiz.

I like the new look...

I got 6/10 on your modified aircraft. Not bad for someone who's never been in the business...

Great Falls, in Montana. Great Falls is, in my opinion, far from a great place. I was attacked by a goose there once.

Montana/Michigan, same difference. D'oh

Oh, I have no control over those ones. I thought it was on one of the quizzes I wrote. If you want to be able to send corrections to authors on the daily quizzes, you'll have to register. It's free and let's you play lots of other trivia games as well. http://www.funtrivia.com/?ref=bhmbaglock

I should wake up before taking the quiz, I sufficiently sucked today . . .

Underachiever! I sucked more than sufficiently.

You guys got nothing on me. The only two I knew for sure were the only ones I got right...

I'm thankful the air topics are only twice a week.

Beh.. 6/10. I guess that's OK...

Today wasn't my top day.

Tomorrow, the Geography one, I should do fine on, though.

OK...so my scientific knowledge is somewhat lacking...OK, a LOT lacking!!!

I keep getting the meandering stream. Funny thing is that I took Sedimentary Rocks last semester in school, so I knew that one off the bat. Please give me some more challenging geology questions. They're somewhat fun.

The only thing that keeps me from kicking everyones a** is Aerospace grab bag ( I know this is an aerospace site )

I still tend to get a high proportion of space questions in the Aerospace grab bag

Same - and most are ridiculously specific - about a certain date, with hardly any variance. I might be able to guess at a month or a year, but when the answers are along the lines of
a) 15th September 1986
b) 16th September 1986
c) 15th September 1986
d) 16th September 1987

there isn't much opportunity of knowing or working out the answer unless you happen to know it for sure.

I've got issues with #6 in today's quiz.

I'll elaborate tomorrow.

Everyone gets different questions in random order.

Among today's questions, I got one asking for the date of the Apollo 11 landing. Answers were in M,D,Y format. The question immediately following it was about the year of the Apollo 11 landing.
