I've gotten four questions asking what year something happened, e.g. the year Superman II came out. I've missed three of them. The only other one I missed was due to a system failure. :(

I've received very easy questions and I am doing really well this month (knock on wood) so I am not going to complain.

Ack! I got my question today and clicked on the answer. The minute I clicked, I remembered the correct answer, but it was too late. :(

Yup, going for speed bites you in the butt sometimes.

I answered them all correctly, although 2 were WTF guesses. :oops:
During the month of May, I have received at least 8 (and I think 9)questions on Music and Musicians, 7 of which involved rock/pop musicians, songs and albums of the past decade, most of which I've never heard. Given the number of categories, this seems beyond mathematical probability.
Yeah, I've gotten more than my fair share of physical Science questions. I should exempt it, but I want to learn stuff.

I often laugh at their notion of what "physical science" is, as well. When you get a question about which of these is not one of the DNA bases, that ain't "physical" science. They ought to just call it general science and be done with it.

I have joined Sploofus.

I'm way, way, way behind this month.
No matter where you go, there you are.
