Trivia

So, I have the most awesomest sister in the world. She worked a twelve hour shift yesterday, wiping geriatric butts, then rushed over to watch my kids so that I could go out and play trivia. Then, she got up with them, fed and dressed them, and took them to school so I could sleep late. Oh, and she is knocked up, so she did it without copious amounts of coffee. What an amazement.

We did okay at trivia last night, and came in third, but I was a little disappointed that we blew the first place lead we carried through the first two rounds. Much fun was had, though, and our all-girls team picked up a few male scabs and . . . well, we didn't really need them, but it was good to see them. There has been much discussion about whether our trivia team should be open to males or if it is a girls' only night, and so the desegregation was not bad at all. I even picked up one very funny naked skateboarding story. You can't beat that.

On to the questions, if i can remember them:

Bonus: Name the two actors who played Bo and Luke Duke in the recent movie.

Round 2 -
  1. What article of clothing did the invention of the bra replace?
  2. Classical Music: Who wrote the Brandenburg Concerto? (There might be more to this question, but if there is, I don't remember)

  4. East Atlanta Village: What happens at the former location of the Kingfisher school on Thursday evenings and Sunday mornings?
  5. Gods: What is the name of the Egyptian sun god?
Bonus: Name the four members of the Walsh family on Beverly Hills 90210.
