Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner AND Questions

Alright...here's the answers to the quiz according to Trivial Pursuit (and, surprisingly, none were ham):

1) What's the most popular drink in Greece? Ouzo
2) What film won Rod Steiger the best actor Oscar in 1967? "In the Heat of the Night"
3) What four letters were placed on the cross on which Christ was crucified? I.N.R.I.
4) Who commanded the Jolly Roger in J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan? Captain Cook
5) What plan does natural vanilla flavoring come from? The orchid
6) What does a philatelist collect? Stamps

The winner, despite nearly being disqualified for: 1) complaining about the prize and 2) complaining about a delay in the results, is Steele. He won a 2006 Family Guy Wall Calendar. Congratulations! I will get you your prize eventually...when I feel like it.


In order to give more people a chance to play, I will post this week's questions today and I will now declare a winner and post new questions every Monday. This week has two prizes.

1. Score-4 Four Player DIGITAL GOLF SCORECARD. The pocket-sized, smart-card that keeps your score keeping up to par. Automatically tracks stroke-by-stroke, front and back 9 tallies and overall scores for up to 4 players. Batteries included. Never opened.

2. The December 2006 Edition of WIRED Magazine. Featured articles include YouTube Grows Up: Lonelygirl15, WebVideo & The End of TV Advertising; True Crime: Sex, Drugs and Triple Murder on Myspace.com; and Me Translate Pretty One Day: How one firm is cracking the language code.


Yes, both of these prizes can be yours if you can answer the following questions correctly, as picked from Trivial Pursuit: Genius Edition.

1) Who was the capital of Ohio named for?

2) Who said: "It's not the men in my life, it's the life in my men"?

Send your answers to mswish18@gmail.com or you can comment them but you risk giving the answers to cheaters. Everyone who answers all 6 questions correctly will be entered into the random drawing to win the 2 prizes described above. In the event no one answers all six questions correctly, the winner will be the person answering the most correct. Answers must be submitted by midnight on Sunday. Best of luck!
