⁠
Tub Trivia is a new live quiz show from Mental Floss. It's like pub trivia ... but in a bathroom with our very own Justin Dodd!⁠

Join us tomorrow LIVE here at 7 pm EST:

We couldn't help but laugh at little at the variety of spellings in the answers to this trivia question from last week. "Thomas Harris’ character Hannibal Lector is based on an amalgam of famous serial killers, including this grubby gentleman from Plainfield, Wisconsin who had mommy issues."

Shout out to 2 Men & A Lady who wrote "Cereal Killers" as the category title.

Four Corners Monument - Wikipedia

Tuesday before Trivia! Here's your article folks!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Corners_Monument

Two weeks until our next game! Missed the first one? Try your hand at a few of our questions. Answers will be revealed in the comments tomorrow.

1. What two cheeses were first created in Wisconsin?

2. Doodles are all the rage. How many breeds of doodles are there in the American Kennel Club?

3, Steven Van Zandt, who played strip club owner Silvio Dante in the Sopranos, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of what New Jersey band?

4. Was Richard Nixon impeached?

5. It might surprise you to know that only Mason Crosby played more games in a kicking or punting role than this Packer who didn’t really kick, but definitely punted. He played from 1954 to 1968 and was one of many Packer kickers from bygone days who actually played another primary position. And he was not a quarterback. Who was he?

6. LOCAL QUESTION: This small creek, snakes through the city and is most noticeable running under Fremont Street between Buchanan and Flora. What is it called?

FAQs on Teams for Methunky Trivia

1. Do we have to have 8 people? No, teams can range from 1-8. Got a pal getting off work after 7pm? They are more than welcome to show up any time as long as you don’t max the limit of 8 people. Got someone who has to leave early to put the kids to bed? That’s okay too.

2. Do we have to have the same team each time? No, teams are flexible month to month. Each league date you can even choose a total different team name. We are NOT playing for cumulative points over the whole series.

3. What if I don’t have a team? We will help anyone who comes without a team find a group to join. Or we will make an Island of Misft Toys team 😊

4. Can I play on two teams? No.

5. How do I build a good team? Pick a variety of ages and interests to make the most well rounded team.
