They optimistic= ally ended at W](3D"%20/comments/12=) Fark Weird = News Quiz (brought to you by ox45tallboy)Another fun time on this week's Quiz, where we learned that as entertain= ment properties have become ridiculously successful in the 21st Centur= y, compensations for the people who write the material presented to us has = not followed suit - evidently the person deciding which stories to finance = is far more important from a salary standpoint than the people creating tho= se stories. On the Quiz itself, Denjiro makes it into the = 1000 club with 1001, but unfortunately we'll only be showing reruns on the = big screen due to the writers' strike. Our resident modmin Two Dogs= Farking hit 919 and somehow outdid me once again this week. = Shotgun Justice came in second with 912, relaxitsj= ustme made third with 907, spudbeach came in four= th with 896, and TheMothership rounds out the top fiv= e with 888, The hardest question on this week's Hard Quiz was about= the Newport, TN man arrested for adding a little extra seasoning to the ta= ke-out he and his domestic partner were sharing. Only 27% of quiztakers kne= w he decided to toss a little crystal meth in with the tomatoes in the take= out salad they had purchased. Like the adage goes, you don't win friends wi= th salad. The easiest question on the Hard Quiz was about wha= t Bo Knows, 81% of quiztakers knew that former NFL and MLB star Bo Jackson = has been suffering from intractable singultus, or in layman's terms, chroni= c hiccups, which he's been dealing with for nearly a year. Hopefully B= o will Know some relief soon, as he'll be undergoing a procedure in th= e near future that might stop them . The hardest question on last w= eek's Easy Quiz was about what a baby porcupine is called. Only 39% of quiz= takers knew that "joey" is a term for a baby marsupial - and porcupine= s don't have pouches. They're actually rodents like squirrels or capybaras,= and their young are called porcupettes. And yes, they do have quills at bi= rth - but fortunately for mommy, they're soft and don't harden until being = exposed to the air for an hour or so. The easiest question on= last week's Easy Quiz was about which Italian dish came about due to the A= llied invasion of Italy in World War II. 84% of quiztakers recognized the b= acon and powdered eggs from GI rations and pasta and Italian cheese as ingr= edients in carbonara. Although many Italian putists would scoff at the idea= of American-style streaky bacon rather than pancetta and would require a f= ainting couch at the idea of powdered eggs, the truth is this is how the di= sh was originally made. If you missed out last week, now's a = great time to [catch up on the Fark Weird News Quiz](3D"=) now that= you know a few of the answers. Congratulations once again to the winn= ers, and we'll do it all again on Friday. --------------------------------------------------------------- ([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.
