Back to Normal
Friday tried its best, but it will never be Monday
Make no mistake. This is Monday. It's soporific! Yeah . . . that word sounds a lot more exciting than . . . mmm. Yawn.
Today's Question
Space
Can the Andromeda Galaxy be seen from earth with the naked eye (as embarrassing as it is for eyes to walk around like that)?
Friday's Answer
And the people who knew it
E-I stands for Educational & Informative, not Elmo Initiative as previously believed. Paul C (the C stands for Cookie Monster) and Heidi both knew because they're smart like that. Congrats!

May 1, 2009 question - Fronday
Friday in Disguise
If I didn't know better, I'd swear this week was just beginning.
Here's how today started: our five-year-old hopped in bed with us at 6:00 AM and I sent him back to bed. Next thing I knew, he was climbing back into our bed and making me give up the idea that the morning had any sleep left in it. What I failed to realize, as the rest of the house slept and he and I sat poised to fall back into R.E.M. land, was that two hours had passed. We try to get him out the door at 8:00, definitely no later than 8:10. But it was 8:11 and not a creature was out of bed.
Uh-oh. Looks like our whole family's got a case of the Monday's. And it's Friday.
Today's Question
Television
What does the e-i stand for in the "e-i bug" found in the upper-right corner of the screen during some television programs?
Yesterday's Answer
And the people who knew it
Jamestown was the original capital of Virginia, followed by Williamsburg and the current capital, Richmond. But the capital of Trivialand is Charlestown, because Charles was the only one who knew! Congrats, Governor!

April 13, 2009 question - Monday's Revenge
Weekendend
Monday's Revenge
Shh. Monday heard what I said about it last week. And boy, is it ticked. Not sure I can escape its wrath, but I'm gonna go ahead and carry on with trivia and then make a break for it. If you don't hear from me tomorrow, form a search party and look for me at the bottom of the ocean. Any ocean. Monday is dastardly like that.
Today's Question
Literature
What Shakespearean character uttered the words, "A plague on both your houses" (or "a' both your houses," depending on where you read or hear it)?
Thursday's Answer
And the people who knew it
Vanna set the record for most on-screen television clapping. But does anyone stop to clap for Vanna? Maybe these people do, since her applause garnered them a little G-L-O-R-Y: Diannalee, Heather M (the M stands for Make Some Noise Up In Here), Karen H (the H stands for Hold Your Applause Until The End), and Heidi. No words could describe how proud I am of all of you, so I will just stand here and clap, Vanna style.
Oh, no, wait. I found the words: pretty darn. But I'll still clap.

April 6, 2009 question - Shining a Light in My Eyes
Somebody Turn That Thing Off
It's too early for sunlight
Monday morning is an interrogation. Monday steals us from the arms of our loving parents, Saturday and Sunday, and locks us in a cold, bare room with nothing but an irritating light that shines as bright as the sun. Because it is the sun.
What do they want to know? What's so important that Monday had to bring me in on trumped up charges of "having work to do," whatever that means? Spare me the torture, Monday. I'll tell you whatever you want to know.
Just take me back home to the weekend. You always do. Why must you keep returning? Go, Monday. Go steal someone else's children.
Stranger danger. Stranger danger!
Today's Question
Animal Kingdom
How many teeth does an adult hippo have?
Yesterday's Answer
And the people who knew it
Google is worth 8 points, but the Y and H in Yahoo give it a whopping 11 Scrabbleriffic tallies. Here's who knew:
Charles (who actually knew the exact point totals)
Maridee
Frislem
Diannalee
Steve T (the T stands for One Point)
Micaela
Nancy K (the K stands for Five Points)
Well done, all of you. May all your word scores be tripled and all your Q words be plentiful.
