I managed to complete my 519-= mile bike ride across upstate New York this past Saturday, raising $3,= 500 for cancer research in the process. Special thanks goes out = to all you Farkers who contributed, especially to DoctorCal= trong> who kicked in the final amount on day five to close it all= out. I rode across Iowa last year; this ride had more chal= lenging hills and an extra 80 miles of distance. My butt is very= angry with me. Had a great time meeting folks in Utica and Buffalo = as well!

Fark Weird News Quiz Results (brought to you by ox45tallboy) Another fun time on the quiz this week, fill= ing out forms and playing with the styluses and complaining about Bluetooth= . Denjiro came out on top with 905, followed by= beggindogwith 858 in second and jayfurr= in third with 846. sugaryvitamin made fourt= h with 835, and scrumpox finishes out the top 5 with = 816. The hardest question on the Hard Quiz was over who designed the= "Nudge" supermarket pop-up in London. Only 8% of quiztakers caught the art= icle about it being a product of The Royal Society for Public Health - basi= cally the UK version of the FDA. The supermarket was designed not just with= healthier food, but in such a way that promotes healthy choices rather tha= n high-profit junk food and "fizzy drinks". It actually went over surprisin= gly well, although people were a bit miffed when their toad-in-the-hole and= lager pints weren't in the usual spots. The easiest question on the= Hard Quiz was over the World Hide-and-Seek Champion, 44 years running now.= 77% of quiztakers knew that Jimmy Hoffa used to be the head of the Teamste= rs Union, who controlled America's trucking industry for decades. And becau= se of OJ, we'll never revisit the office from Naked Gun 2 1/2 where the loc= ation of Jimmy Hoffa's body was listed. The hardest question on the = Easy Quiz was over which preventable disease was experiencing a large outbr= eak. Only 22 of quiztakers identified July 28 as World Hepatitis Day, and k= new there were over 22,000 preventable Hep A infections currently in the US= . For clarity, World Measles Day is March 16 and there have been fewer than= 2,000 cases so far this year in the US - although they tend to get a lot m= ore publicity. The easiest question on the Easy Quiz was over Katy P= erry's 2013 hit "Dark Horse". 77% of quiztakers knew that a jury ruled the = song was waaaay too close to something called a "Christian rap" song from 2= 005, which I think is something you get when religious bands try to be too = hip. Th real downside for Katy Perry isn't the loss of royalties so much as= a jury of her peers determined that she must have listened to that Christi= an rap song at some point.
