So I'm playing trivia tonight...

#1 Post by KillerTomato » Tue Sep 15, 2009 8:05 pm

...and one of our new categories for this 4-week stretch is called "Common Scents". And naturally, the first thing that popped into my mind was "Is it TUNA??????"

Turns out that wasn't that far off. Tonight's question: "According to a Yale University study" (sound familiar?) "what has the most recognizable smell?" Then, in a very unusual move, he gave us three possible answers! (Chocolate, Coffee, Moth Balls).

Needless to say, I had a bit of an advantage on this question....

Not that you need it, but...
It's coffee, of course
There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe; when the loving, the tender, eat a crust while the infamous sit at banquets.

I would like to wager 5 cents that this thread will eventually inspire an avatar change. :mrgreen:
