Farktography: [Back to School](3D") peachpicker shared [a very important first day](3D") Beyond Fark Swee= tBecca (by DisseminationMonkey) We learned the sad news of the recent loss of Farker SweetBecca. She was best known on Fark as a beloved member of Far= k's Caturday community. While she was less active on Fark over the past cou= ple of years, she had grown close to the Caturday community and kept in tou= ch with them. Our hearts go out to her friends and family. You can [visit SweetBecca's memorial thread with her Caturday friends here](3D"). DedParrot (by Blythe)After 20 years of Farking (and 58 years on Earth) Farker DedParr= ot is now Beyond Fark. As shared in [his memorial thread](3D") "DedParrot passed far too early in June of 2021, a few weeks sh= y of his 58th birthday. Although he led a healthy lifestyle, he was struck = down 20 feet from the ER door by a massive cardiac event. He was a fan= of (among other things) comics, sci-fi, and of course Monty Python. He lea= ves behind four older siblings, a heartbroken wife, and 15-year old son.&nb= sp;Ironically, his wife is named Joy." Fark Weird News Quiz (brought to you by = ox45tallboy) Another fun time on last week's Quiz, although= the 1000 club remains empty once again. Pity, too because I've got fresh l= ocal strawberries going in the ice cream maker this evening. On the Quiz it= self, Oliver Twisted came out on top with 998, followed by= FacelessDevil30 in second with 945 and = Xanadone in third with 925. partasti made fo= urth with 925, and Marcus Aurelius got in the top fiv= e with 917. The hardest question on Last Week's Hard Quiz was about = the newest Girl Scout Cookie. Only 38% of quiztakers knew that the upcoming= thick crumbly chocolate with sea salt and caramel would be called "Advernt= urfuls." "Chalet Cremes," available from 1990-95, were lemon and = vanilla cream-filled shortbread cookies embossed with the image of the Girl= Scout World Center in Switzerland, and "Juliettes" were crunchy caramel an= d pecan cookies coated in chocolate that were available from 1993-96. The easiest question on last week's Hard Quiz was about a vandal menacing= the countryside village of Wonersh in Surrey in the UK. 89% of quizta= kers knew that it was Heinz Baked Beans that came in a distinctive blue-lab= eled can. I don't get the marketing on that, as most all American brands pu= t their baked beans in a brownish bean-colored can. If we see blue in our b= eans, we usually throw them away or feed them to the opossum at the edge of= the woods. Maybe the reasoning is that Britain has no opossums to eat thei= r blue baked beans. The hardest question on the Easy Quiz was about = which fast food joint thinks you don't have enough diabeetus and is now off= ering a "glazed donut," which is actually a clump of dough balls coate= d in icing made to tear apart for sharing. Only 41% knew that it was McDona= ld's that didn't think we were getting enough of our daily dose of sugar fr= om its McCafe offerings, and is now pouring the sugar directly onto the fri= ed carbohydrates. Then again, they could have brought back the Arch Deluxe = instead, so perhaps we should count our blessings. The easiest quest= ion on the Easy Quiz was about which actor had gotten his voice back throug= h new technology from British start-up Sonatic. 84% of quiztakers knew that= it was Val Kilmer who had tragically lost his very recognizable voice afte= r a tracheotomy due to throat cancer back in 2014. I'm not sure if they'll = be using this technology for his role in the upcoming "Top Gun: Maverick,"&= nbsp;but then again, it feels like this movie was completed back in 2012 so= it might not have been necessary. If you missed out on last w= eek's Quiz, [you can give the Fark Weird News Quiz a shot](3D"=) n= ow that you know a couple of the answers. Congratulations to the winners, a= nd we'll do it all again 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.
