Seems like a sprint - I can't wait for= the weekend to get here. This week on the [F= ark News Livestream](3D") - we should have everyone back! Lucky, Dill, = and Christine will join me for the best of the under-the-radar news this we= ek, both weird and important. Sorry for the late scratch last week, w= e were short on material and I was short on sleep. I've got a stack o= f about 40 stories for tomorrow that I'm gonna need to cut down to 20 or fe= wer, about half the stack came from just today.

Only 47% of quiz= takers recognized actor Tom Wilson as Biff Tannen from "Back to the Future"= , a movie series where he would go on to play several iterations of himself= and his ancestors who troubled the McFly clan (as well as Clint Eastwood).= The easiest question on last week's Easy Quiz was about how a= woman in New York City was able to escape a hostage situation. 94% of quiz= takers knew that she included a message to call police in the "special inst= ructions" of her GrubHub order. While she was successfully rescued, she was= interviewed before seeing the service charge, so no word yet on whether sh= e felt it was worth it. The hardest question on last week's Ea= sy Quiz was about sci-fi streaming serieseseses. Only 43% of quiztakers rec= ognized the "Chimps Don't Cry" video as an extra from the superhero parody = series "The Boys", featuring actress Laurie Holden (The X-Files, The Shield= , The Walking Dead, The Americans) continuing her career trajectory of seri= es that begin with "The", in character as Crimson Countess. Th= e easiest question on the Easy Quiz was about which feature Microsoft has f= inally said goodbye to. 93% of quiztakers knew that you could no longer use= Internet Explorer to download another browser, and would now need to use E= dge for this step on newer systems. If you missed out last wee= k, now's a great time to [catch up on the Fark Weird Ne= ws Quiz](=3D" now that you know a few of the answers.
