Trivial Pursuit...Forum Style

[dirtygirldiva]

New game y'all!

Basic trivia game.

Here is how it works. Post a question and have a good clue on standby. If you know the answer to the posted question, answer it and cite your source. Post new question. Simple.

Rules are as follows...

1 - Answer to trivia question must be available via search engine or something similar to Wikipedia...don't want people getting tottaly stumped..

2 - If someone answers wrong, the poster of the question can correct them the next time they post.

3 - You may only ask for one clue...

4 - In stating your question, if the question can have multiple answers, state the category in which the question falls. For example if I asked what a jammer was, there could be multiple answers, but if I asked "In Roller Derby, what does a Jammer do?" there can only be one answer.

Get it? Got it. Good.

I'll start.
