QUIZ RECAP

This week was a roller coaster, wasn't it? The Internet exploded into conversations about bears, men, and perhaps manbears.  So far, no one seems to have made the reasonably obvious case the the one literary representation we have of a small child interacting with bears, she was kind of the one who was a pain, and the bears did not, in fact, harm her 😉  So, I'm still team bear--but I'll also probably die saying "here kitty kitty" to a Tazmanian Devil, so let's not use me as a role model, kay?

The weather here was also a bit on the odd side.  80+ degrees for the last few days.  Egads.  But that does explain the Strip District (our neighborhood) exploding into food trucks, live music, bar garage doors open, and people generally enjoying the out-of-doors after nearly a month of rain.

The few, the brave, the air-conditioned joined me tonight.  Just the 2 of Us rocked our worlds with an 87 point first place.  That is the two person team in the photos, and if it helps, the quiz has a maximum of 110 points, so none to shabby at all.  HOA After Dark just squeaked out their 2nd place win over Tita's Tata's by a single point.

I was grateful tonight that we had a question about Pittsburgh--particularly, what artist has his museum here.  It's the largest museum in the US dedicated to the works and life of a single artist and every single team got Andy Warhol.  I was going to have to send them for some Yinzer re-education if they didn't!

Oh, and in answer to the burning question of the night, .ly is the top domain for Libya, but it *does* seem that its use in things like bit.ly (to shorten really long web URLs) and the like is why it's such a popular top level domain (TLD).  Extra trivia with your trivia!

Hope to see some returners (not the zombie sort) next week. All kinds of fun things going on in town this weekend, so be safe, take public transit, and keep on quizzin'!
