Great quiz Patricia!

Thanks, Patricia for that interesting quiz.  Always learn something new from all these quizzes.

Joy

Thanks everyone!

Great Quiz!  I had fun trying to figure out the answers!
Although I could have, I didn't Google anything, which is probably why I only got two answers!  Kind of like playing Jeopardy, which we watch every day.  I just love it when I know the answer to something, since my brain is sometimes recalcitrant.  Some days I get in the car, drive to the corner, and have to pause to remember where I was actually headed!  Whew!  That is scary!

I agree as it is often fun trying to come up with something on your own! I have a daily trivia email and over the past year or so, I've maintained a 76% average. It has become one of my missions in life to raise that bar. So far at least to no avail, but I'm working on it! 

That was a most interesting Quiz, Angel. It sometimes takes an effort to drag up memories of things you know you know but seem to have gotten buried in the dusty basement archive of the brain.

I know, sometimes you need a crane to dig that much deeper!

I just put together a new Quiz...It is a bit different than those previously presented and may prove interesting to some..
