Ar= e you a first-time or occasional submitter looking for more greenlights?&nb= sp; I've got a hot tip for you. We could use more submissions for bot= h the Fandom and the D'awww tabs. [D'awww](3D" is pretty straightforw= ard - anything cute, good-news based. That's your best bet for instant gree= nlights - because cute is not super hard to find. It's also your best= bet for Headline of the Year candidates because it's less easy to write a = funny headline about a cute subject. But it's not impossible. = [Fandom](3D") is basically anything you'd see at a comic-con. Submissi= on levels to Fandom aren't too bad relative to other tabs, however I know t= here are tons more articles out there we're not seeing. Also, today = I've got [a new TotalFark-only discussion](3D"=) - I need a name fo= r something related to the upcoming Farks2Give / Swear Jar changes [I discussed on TotalFark a couple weeks ago](3D").&n= bsp; Come help me figure out what we should call this new thing.

Denjiro= trong> came out on top with 929, followed by bud jones= > in second with 905 and scrumpox in third with 891.&= nbsp;gunsmack made fourth with 875, and kevin= atilusa made the top five with 851. The hardest question on= the Hard Quiz was about the Great Bitter Lake Association. It's a great st= ory about a group of fifteen ships that banded together in the midst of int= ernational hostilities from 1967 to 1975 to help one another. Only 31% of q= uiztakers knew that the Great Bitter Lake is part of the Suez canal in Egyp= t, and is currently where the Ever Given is residing while impounded by Egy= pt for $900 million in costs related to freeing it from the grounding. If y= ou have a minute, this really is [a fascinating story](3D") about how people get toget= her for mutual aid when they're in one of the strangest situations in nauti= cal history. The easiest question on the Hard Quiz was about which f= amous British scientist will be featured on the new British £50 = note. 87% of quiztakers knew that computer scientist and famed codebreaker = Alan Turing will receive the honor 67 years after his death. Although most = people know him from his computer theory and the famed Turing Test of artif= icial intelligence capabilities, his work in breaking the Nazi Enigma encry= ption made more of a difference in World War II than he was ever given publ= ic credit for due to the Official Secrets Act. The hardest que= stion on the easier-than-normal Easy Quiz was about which artist had finall= y toppled controversial country music singer Morgan Wallen from the #1 spot= on the Billboard charts. Only 59% of quiztakers knew that it was (of all p= eople) whatever the hell a Justin Bieber is who managed the feat. No word o= n any upcoming collaboration with Kevin Federline. The easiest= question on the Easy Quiz was about which artist has remade his 2020 album= "Hey Clockface" en français as "La Face de Pendule à Coucou"= ("The Cuckoo Clock Face"), collaborating with such artists as Iggy Pop. 91= % of quiztakers knew that it was Elvis Costello who somehow got Iggy Pop to= learn to sing in French. Iggy Pop. In French. No word on why this hasn't s= ucceeded in knocking that Justin Bieber guy right back off the top spot. If you missed out on the Quiz, you can [catch up righ= t here](3D".
