Question of the Week

What spectacular river in Colombia is known as the River of the Five Colors?

Those Steak Em Up Guys and I Are in A Documentary. About Quizzo. Seriously.

A few years ago, some of you old schoolers might remember, we had video cameras following us each week at the Bards for a while. The result was this…believe it or not…a full length film about quizzo. And after watching it, I’ll think you’ll agree, Garbo is well on his way to Hollywood superstardom. Actually, this is a very fun film. I think you’ll dig it. If you do, please feel free to share it on facebook and twitter.

Question of the Week

Who plays Eugene in the film “Crossroads”, about legendary guitarist Robert Johnson?

Question of the Week

This man created the spectacular Coral Castle in Florida City in 1923, then amazingly moved all 1000 tons of it to Homestead, Florida in 1936. Who was this eccentric genius?

I did a pretty interesting piece on the Philly Post this week about the Hoosiers of PA high school hoops.

And here’s a fun piece in which I went to the library to see what they wrote about Wilt’s 100 point game the day after he did it. The political headline I found (posted at the bottom of the story) is going to blow your mind.

The Spring Invitational is now underway. Scores will be posted on Monday.

Have a great weekend, everybody.

Who Said It, Rick Santorum or Adolf Hitler?

A few days ago, Santorum compared Obama to Hitler, but in fact it is Santorum who has a few political ideals shockingly similar to Hitler’s. Don’t believe me? Take this 50/50 round and see if you can figure out who said what.

You Write the Questions Round

I know how good you nerds are at answering questions. Let’s see how good you are at writing them. Here’s how it works: Send me a message on facebook or by sending me an email (johnny@johnnygoodtimes.com) with 1-3 trivia questions in it. I will take the best 10 questions I receive (no more than one per team) to make up the wild card round tomorrow night. They can be on any topic. Just send me a message with the questions and your team name. Let’s see what you got.

Five Cool Things We Learned This Week

After cleaning himself up, Todd Bridges saved a woman from drowning.

Barbie dolls were based on an “adult” gag gift in Germany known as a Bild Lilli doll. “Early fashions are noted for their particular seductive design. Originally this doll had been produced as an advertisement gag for adults.” In 1956, an American woman named Ruth Handler, whose husband was one half of the Mattel ownership team, went to Germany on vacation. She came across the Bild Lilli doll, purchased three, and gave one to her daughter, whose name was Barbie. Her daughter loved the toy, and Mattel decided to take a chance on the first adult doll for kids. Needless to say, it paid off handsomely.

What cereal did Pee Wee Herman pour on his pancakes?

The Etch a Sketch was invented by a Frenchman in 1959, who originally called it L’Ecran Magique. Here’s how an Etch-a-Sketch works.

The first video game to reach mainstream popularity was PONG, released in 1972. Here is a really cool history of video games, and you can play PONG online by clicking here. 39 years later, and it’s still a pretty damn fun game.

The Craziest Week of Quizzo Ever? It’s Quite Possible

Sex, Drugs, and Rock n Roll Week seemed to change everything. The Jams, Duane’s World, Steak Em Up, and L. Ron’s Diabetics all lost. (Thus confirming every stereotype you have about the relationship between nerds and sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll.) Two teams won while playing their very first quizzo (7 Boobs and My Grandfather was Scottish), while the Mister Lippers won their 2nd quizzo ever.

Meanwhile, things are nuts over on the Facebook Physical Challenge Board, as people seem to have lots of pictures with themselves next to statues for some reason. If you want to score some physical challenge points, I highly suggest a trip over to facebook. You have until Monday to get a photo up of you in front of a statue.

And as if things weren’t crazy enough, Mom and Her Sun finished last at the Rendezvous, meaning I was able to capture the photo above, believed to be the first photo in world history of two black guys holding a Michael Bolton CD. They told me they were going to be blasting him on their car stereo all summer long.

I do expect things to return to some semblance of normal next week. Rejoice nerds…it’s going to be Humanities and Science week.
