I'm a big reader, but in general I'm not much for Stephen King.  Now I think I should start reading his books (especially Dark Tower) just so I can get those answers on the Literature quiz.  Yesterday 4 out of 10 questions were about Dark Tower and I got all of them wrong.

You are so right!!  I always get so many King questions, and his books have always been too scary for me to read!

Waugh! How did it get to be June 5 already?  I'm so sorry for the delay, everybody.  Just for that, I'll drop and give y'all 10, and then  channel a muppet.

Right.

After that 10, here's a far better 10 - the top 10 for May!  Yaaaaaay!

I agree Lizzie! But I thought we should try it out at least once.

Ok, as part of the email backup (see the alert at the top of your screen for details), blantonrk didn't get his PM notification until today.  So, he has chosen a different topic (or difficulty level) for every day between now and the end of the month.  Woohoo!

Here's what's coming up:

Trivia for June
18 - Religion 1
19 - History 2
20 - Music 3
21 - General Knowledge 3
22 - Mixed Bag
23 - Theatre/Perf. Arts
24 - Music 1
25 - History 1
26 - People 2
27 - Religion 2
28 - History 3
29 - General Knowledge 5
30 - World General 1

I got a question about Geocaching in the Hobbies category today.  How does it know I'm a Geocacher?  Is FunTrivia (gulp) watching me.......?

Okay, I've got several questions over the past few months about Geocaching.  Just have to ask--What is it?

I wish I had more time to explain it here, but I open DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS tonight. Go to the link above and find out all about my favorite hobby/obsession.  You can play worldwide with just an internet connection and a GPS. (And I first played for months without the GPS.)

Please feel free to post your questions! Enjoy!

Are you using the down key to scroll down? Because if so, that's why your answers are being changed. I've never had a problem with it "magically" changing my answers, but I did once realize I pressed the down key instead of scrolling with my mouse and saw that pressing the down key scrolls through the options.
