Another fun night of trivia at Barney's Beanery in Santa Monica. It was a toss-up until the final round, but ultimately hybrid team Benjamin Beyonce took the win! Secular Healing placed 2nd and Nickelback To The Future ended up in 3rd. Your homework assignment for this week is to memorize all the pop culture references in "We Didn't Start The Fire," just in case a GenXer challenges you in a trivia tiebreaker two years from now.

Tonight's teams at Barney's Beanery in Santa Monica had to be experts in two things: Harry Potter and Millennials. Don't Worry Beyonce won the drinking round by naming the most Harry Potter characters of anyone else (it went on awhile, trust me), while a few teams got 10/10 during the "Match The Harry Potter Professor To Their Subject" handout round. Ultimately, it was all down to the "Millennials" music round, with I Can't Stop Playing With My Doodlesack taking first with 84 points!

Fun times were had by all during Trivia Night at Barney's Beanery in Santa Monica! The best part of the night was the SuperZeros drinking round, were every team had to come up with a lame superhero name and their lame superpower. Nickleback To The Future cleverly came up with Captain LinkedIn, whose superpower was "putting an email notification in your inbox....except Hotmail." That is truly the best, I mean worst, superhero imaginable. Miami Spice also had a good one with Premature Ejaculation Boy, whose superpower I'm sure you can imagine. It was a great game but in the end Benjamin Quizraeli took an early lead and held on to take 1st.
