QUIZ RECAP

How wonderful! We had four teams compete at the Tilted Mash tonight. What made the night even better was the food truck outside serving fresh lobster dishes. 

We had the repeating teams "Le Tigre" and "Just for Fun" back to throw down the gauntlet against the two new teams "Frank and Beans" and "Team Terry". In the end, the point spread was soooooo close.....for the teams taking the last three slots. The team taking first place was the Tilted Mash's favorite team of knitting knockouts, "Just For Fun" with a 15 point lead over second place! Who is able to dethrone the champions!?

*******************Spotlight On Our Teams**********************
I was able to sit down with two teams, "Team Terry" and "Just for Fun". Team Terry were a team of newcomers who were new to the Tilted Mash, but not to trivia. The couple and their young son tried out trivia, and surprisingly their elementary school age son was a key player. This lead them to join more and more games at various venues. No doubt that earned them a high point value tonight.

"Just for Fun" was back and were a full group of 6 formidible players. I asked if I could take pictures of some of their knitting. The woman pictured is making a shawl and promised to show me the progress at next week's game 🙂

****************Fun Fact of the Week****************
Did you know that the lungs of birds don't expand and contract the same way you might think. In fact, they don't change at all. Birds have multuple air sacs throughout their body. The path of air moves down through a passage towards air sacs near the abdomen during "inhalation". During "exhalation", the air is pushed out of the air sacs, through the lungs, and into air sacs closer to the head. The next step is for the air to be expelled. This means that there is always a breath of fresh air being moved through the lungs!
