This is a trivia blog for trivia lovers. Trivia quizzes will (hopefully) be posted on a weekly basis, depending on popularity. Each quiz will have four categories which will vary each time. Each category will have one to two questions. Questions will be structured in such a way so that they will be very hard to look up on the Internet. Sorry cheaters! If you have suggestions for categories or questions, please email me at heather.borra@gmail.com.

Monaco.

Uganda.

Subway Sandwich Artist E wing, The Pentagon??

The 1st amendment?

I have no idea, but it better not be one of those answers where the thumbnail actually grows the quickest, but since that is "tehcnically not a finger" it is the second fastest - this would be LAME.

pinkie toe

bloodpressure o'matic

Geo:

1. Hmm...the way it's phrased, I'm thinking theaters and cemetaries, but that doesn't help me much. Maybe a cemetery with a Peter Pan memorial? I have no idea?

2. Chad? Have I mentioned I stink at geography?

Gov:

1. I think it's Secretary of State

2. 14th?

Human:

1. IIRC, the middle finger on the dominant hand.

2. Your ear. (Ow)

Words:

1. Sphygmomamometer (that's as close as my spelling can get)

2. No idea. I look at this one and all I can think is epidermis.

That was a lot of fun. This is a really well put together quiz. Thanks for taking the time to do it. I'll definitely be back.

I really don't know the answers, but I saw you on Craig's blog so I figured I'd check it out.

Geography
1. Yeah, somewhere in England. Though I'm guessing not London.
2. I haven't the foggiest. Rwanda? The Congo? If it were a map of Europe I might fare better.

Gov't
1. I'm stealing Craig's answer of Speaker of the House
2. I should ask my brother, he had to know the Constitution for law school.

Human Body
1. For me, that would be my pinkie finger
2. Pinkie toe?

Big Words
1. Blood pressure cuff thingie. I know it has a nice name and all, but really...
2. Epithets?
