Farktography: [A, E, I, O, U](3D") flondrix = g> [observed a constellation from Griffith = Park](3D") Beyond Fark (by Blythe) Thanks to a good friend for letting= us know [Bimmer Jones](3D"=) passed away= on June 19. Caturday [said goodbye to him this past week](3D"=).&= nbsp; Bimmer Jones was a Farker for the past five yea= rs in his current username incarnation. As he noted in his bio, he wa= s also known as dramatools, joining in 2003 and retiring t= he name in 2015. Bimmer Jones posted most often in C= aturday, often commented on technology links, and occasionally joined in on= politics threads. He was especially proud of his greenlit submission= "I hereby order the Fark admins to greenlight this thread," saying "Holy shia= t, it worked!" We send good wishes to his friends and = family, and hope he has cats and Fark access in the great Beyond Fark. Fark Weird News Quiz = (brought to you by ox45tallboy) Another fun ti= me on the Quiz last week, although the 1000 club remains elusive for a= ll yet again. Pity, too, with strawberry being my latest homemade ice cream= flavor. On the Quiz itself, Dallymo came out on top with = a score of 921, followed by uberhonky in second with = 910 and Oliver Twisted in third with 906. syrynxx made fourth with 901, and Auntie Chees= us snuck in to the top five with 896. The hardest ques= tion on last week's Hard Quiz was about which company owns Boost Mobile, Ti= ng Mobile, and Republic Wireless. Only 29% of quiztakers knew that in = the myriad world of corporate acquisitions and takeovers, Dish Network actu= ally owns these MVNOs. I'm guessing someone must have thought it was a good= idea at the time, or maybe there's a fan of[A= qua Teen Hunger Force](3D") on the board of directors. I mean, with all the s= atellites, I'm pretty sure they know where you at. The easiest quest= ion on last week's Easy Quiz was about John Glenn's historic orbit of the E= arth back in 1962. 82% of quiztakers knew that his spacecraft was named the= Friendship 7. All of the Mercury spacecraft were given a name with a numbe= r designation of "7" because of the seven astronauts in the program. Or may= be just for luck or because the person in charge of naming lost a bet. = ; The hardest question on last week's Easy Quiz was about who is goi= ng to be gracing one of the three covers of this year's Sports Illustrated = Swimsuit Issue. Only 37% of quiztakers knew that it would be Megan Thee Sta= llion, who has taken her fame earned from "WAP" with Cardi B and run with i= t. She's joined by tennis star Naomi Osaka and model and activist Leyna Blo= om on the other covers. The easiest question on last week's Easy Qui= z was about where you can hear the voice talents of actor Judy Greer. 89% o= f quiztakers were familiar with her work as Cheryl Tunt in "Archer," which = returns to FXX and Hulu on August 25. Sadly, this will likely be the final = season after we lost Jessica Walter early this year. If you mis= sed out on last week's Quiz, [be sure to catch up on the Fark We= ird News Quiz](3D=) now that you know a few of the answers. Congratulations o= nce again to the winners, and we'll be doing it all again later this week. = --------------------------------------------------------------- ([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.
