The 1000 club remains empty thi= s week, which is good because we're currently installing the anti-robot sec= urity measures. On the Quiz itself, rcw00 came out on top = with 956, followed by Joelogon in second with 926 and= Saab Story in third with 922. bak= a-san made fourth with 921, and Myk-House of El= ng> snuck into the top five with 918. The hardest question on last w= eek's Hard Quiz was about what you shouldn't strap your iPhone to in order = to prevent damage. Only 34% of quiztakers caught the notice from Apple abou= t the constant vibrations of motorcycles affecting the image stabilization = feature. Also, if you're recording your hot political take TikToks while ri= ding your motorcycle, maybe don't do that on any cell phone. Or at all.&nbs= p; The easiest question on last week's Hard Quiz was about what Mass= achusetts governor Charlie Baker has a bunch of National Guard personnel do= ing. 91% of quiztakers knew it was driving school "buses" (they're actually= conversion vans without air brakes, meaning the licensing requirements are= less stringent). I'm not sure what a Guardsman would have had to have done= to upset their CO enough to get assigned this duty, but I'm sure the = officers are grateful to have something to threaten the malcontents with.&n= bsp; The hardest question on last week's Easy Quiz was about the upc= oming Sony TV series starring Anthony Mackie as John Doe. Only 51% of quizt= akers recognized the PlayStation series of futuristic car battle games feat= uring the psychotic clown Needles Kane on the cover as Twisted Metal. FWIW,= "Sweet Tooth" is actually the name of Kane's ice cream truck. I'm kinda lo= oking forward to this, as the story in the later games featuring John Doe c= ould make for some good action/adventure. The easiest question= on last week's Easy Quiz was about which Danny Devito/Arnold Schwarzenegge= r movie is getting a sequel. 93% of quiztakers knew that Tracy Morgan has s= igned on to be their long-lost triplet brother in a follow-up to 1988's "Tw= ins". Let's hope the dialogue and comedy make up for the reaaaaaly-stretchi= ng-it plot and the fact that this is about 30 years too late for relevance.= If you missed out on last week's Quiz, [you can catch up= on the Fark Weird News Quiz](3D" now that you know a few of the answers. Co= ngratulations to the winners, and 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.
