Email from PAWS
A few weeks ago, the quizzo community raised $900 for PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society). I received an email from them that will give you a better idea of where that money went. And I want to again thank everyone who donated. You guys rule.
This Week In Worthless Knowledge
Odds are, you love worthless knowledge. Otherwise, I highly doubt you would be spending any time on a quizzo website. Well good news, now you can get some of that worthless knowledge outside of the bar.
My buddy Nat “The Truth” Jones and I used to host a radio show together on the Eastern Shore of Virginia 15 years ago. Well, thanks to the wonders of mondern technology, we can do so again, despite the fact that he lives in Boston and I’m here in Philly. So we’ve decided to make this show about worthless knowledge, and more specifically, worthless knowledge that happened this week. You can grab the podcast off of itunes here. If you don’t have itunes, you can still listen online here.
On this week’s show (our 2nd), we discussed Sir Walter Raleigh’s head, which his wife carried around in a velvet bag for 29 years after he was decapitated on October 29th, 1618. The Sistine Chapel ceiling painting was completed on November 1st, 1512, so we discussed which would rather see: Michaelangelo’s Sistine Chapel or MIchaelangelo, the 6-foot tall crime fighting turtle. It’s a pretty entertaining podcast, so I hope you’ll subscribe. We’re gonna do a new one each week. And be sure to follow us on Facebook, where we’ll be posting more strange, unusual, and worthless knowledge all through the week.
Question of the Week
The Oldest Tradition in Philadelphia (American?) Quizzo Continues This Week
It’s time for the 13th Annual Halloween Spooktacular. Yep, we’ve been doing this one since the days of Frank Clement’s Tavern, since the youngsters playing at City Tap House were 8-years old, since Gervase was hosting quizzo, SINCE EVERYONE IN PHILLY KNEW WHO GERVASE WAS!
Anyways, as always, there will be questions about killers, zombies, vampires, and pure unbridled terror, and maybe even a bit of candy to give away. Action starts tonight at Sidecar at 9:30 p.m. Only gonna do one quiz this week. (We’ll be back to two quizzes next week.) Hope to see you at quizzo this week…if you DARE!
