It was 83 years ago today that Charles Lindbergh landed in Paris after flying across the Atlantic Ocean, and became one of the great American heroes of the 20th century. Of course, less than 15 years later, he would be seen as a villain by most Americans, and his legacy has been a source of controversy ever since.

Ok so we’re still working on a name for Wednesdays. Regardless, it is a good night to quiz. We start at the Vous at 6:15 p.m., as of late the most competitive quizzo on the scene. Not to be outdone, there is plenty of parity at the Black Sheep as well (with, quite frankly, a better chance to win if you score less than 100.) Black Sheep kicks off at 8 p.m. A very interesting wild card round tonight which I think is going to even the playing field at both venues. We’ll see.

I remember reading about this when I was a kid and thinking it was really cool. New England’s day of Darkness…when darkness fell at noon and didn’t lift for over 24 hours.There wouldn’t be another day of darkness  again in New England until 2010, when Boston’s hockey squad squandered a 3-0 Series lead to the Philadelphia Flyers.

Do you think an ad showing a mom holding a baby with dozens of caffeine pills within arms reach on a nearby table is necessarily a good message to send? Also, what’s up with that hair?

There is no quizzo at O’Neals tonight, thanks to the damn Flyers. We will be quizzing tonight at the Bards at 10:15 p.m., however. $2.50 Miller Lite and Lagers, and $40 gift certificate to the winners. Action starts at 10 p.m. Hope to see you at Bards!

Yes folks, there is only quiz tonight, at the Ugly American at 8 p.m. Bards has some sort of Penn function. (Insert “Penn function” joke here.) However, I will write a new quiz, because, hell, I don’t have much else to do. So French Fry Thursday will march on at the Ugly American. And there are rumors that L. Ron Hubbard can’t make it, so that makes the field side slam open. This is your chance to make the power rankings! Make it happen!
