Fark Weird Ne= ws Quiz (brought to you by ox45tallboy) Another fun time on the Quiz last week, although the 1000 club remains= empty yet again, bud jones came out on top with 994, foll= owed by bobobolinskii in second with 950 and State_College_Arsonist in third with 947. Oliver= Twisted made fourth with 925, and skloon sq= ueezed into the top five with 924. The hardest question on the Hard = Quiz was over the previous career of Broadway actor Nnamdi Asomugha. O= nly 30% of quiztakers knew that he was an 11-year veteran of the NFL, with = a three-time All-Star career playing for the Oakland Raiders, Philadelphia = Eagles, and San Francisco 49ers. He got his start as a walk-on in the NBC s= eries "Friday Night Lights", and you can currently see him in the Pulitzer = Prize-winning show "A Soldier's Play." The easiest question on the H= ard Quiz was over what the "WD" in "WD-40" stood for. 83% of quiztakers kne= w that it was "water displacement", and got its name because it was the 40t= h formula the makers had tried. I will say that it is far from the 40th for= mula I try when I've got a rusted part. The hardest question on the = Easy Quiz was about the huge hit "Wagon Wheel" as performed by Darius Rucke= r. Only 49% of quiztakers knew that the song came from a chorus recorded in= 1973 by Bob Dylan, with verses added by Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine S= how in 1998. It's not the first time Rucker has showcased his affinity for = Bob Dylan tunes, as evidenced by the legal kerfluffle over Hootie and the B= lowfish's "Only Wanna Be With You," which eventually resulted in a nic= e payout of royalties to Dylan. The easiest question on the Ea= sy Quiz was over the 2020 Olympics. 82% of quiztakers knew that despite fea= rs of the Corona virus, the games were still on in Tokyo, Japan. No word on= if they've created a new furry mascot for the virus. Congratulation= s to the winners, and be sure and check out [this week's Qu= iz](3D". --------------------------------------------------------------- ([Fark.com](3D"") sent this newsletter emai= l to: {EMAIL}) To stop these emails, go to the Notifications tab of your [MyFark profile](3D"https:=) to change your subscription preferences.
