Try your hand at these brain-busting trivia questions. Remember, please, that you may not google or use any reference sources for the first 24 hours of this thread.

-1. Why did the Jelly Belly company create a blueberry jelly bean?
-2. You’ve all heard the famous words, “Dr. Livingston, I presume?” Where did Stanley discover Livingstone?
-3. In Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1835 short story, Young Goodman Brown, what color are Faith's ribbons?
-4. Where was the January 1973 peace accord that ended open hostilities (at least on paper) between the United States and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) signed?
-5. How does Beowulf kill Grendel?
-6. Diocles and Scorpus were two of the most famous to compete in which ancient competitions?
-7. What was original collective name for the moons of Jupiter, discovered by Galileo, and why did he choose the name?
-8. What phrase did Muhammad Ali continuously shout at Ernie Terrell while defeating him for the undisputed heavyweight championship in a 1967 bout?
-9. The 'Lollards' were followers of which religious reformer/heretic?
-10. Who was the first person to be shown wearing a milk mustache in the American Dairy Association "Got Milk" campaign?



The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
