Mine's going pretty well= . The news cycle all this week, and especially today, is all about Ta= ylor Swift. I almost leaned into it on queue duty today but decided a= gainst it. Yes, the number of TS links greened today represents restr= aint. Hard to believe I know but you should see the TotalFark submiss= ion queue if you haven't already. Speaking of, I'm also mentally gearing up for my birthday next Wednesda= y. Last year I had a huge dance party to celebrate turning 50, but I'= m dialing it back a little this year. Mainly because 51 isn't divisib= le by 10 but also because Feb 7th lands on a Wednesday this year. Whi= ch probably means I'm taking the entire week. We'll see how it goes. Meanwhile, if you might happen= to want to get me something for my birthday, may I suggest signing yoursel= f or someone else up for a [TotalFark](3D"h=)subscription! It comes with some super cool [perks,](3D" (inc= luding the option to beta-test and provide your opinions on proposed change= s,) but also it keeps the lights on ar= ound here.

On the Quiz itself, we have four people w= ho punched their tickets into the 1000 club, where unfortunately we're stil= l waiting on a plumber to fix the toilets after the big freeze two weeks ag= o, so we're gonna need you to bring your own solution to this problem.= djspiffymcdoo took first with 1041, followed by MinorThreat1 in second with 1023 and runwiz= ng> in third with 1016. SoundOfOneHandWanking made fo= urth with 1010, and bobbelieu rounds out the top five= with 979. The hardest question on last week's Hard Quiz was = about marifuana sales. Only 43% of quiztakers did the math and knew that $3= billion in sales at $300/person meant a population of 10 million, which me= ant Michigan had the highest per capita spending on weed in the country. I'= m pretty sure the fact that it's the only state with legal recreational wee= d that borders Ohio has nothing to do with it. FWIW, Massachusett= s has a population of about 7 million, and Arizona about 7,4 million. = The easiest question on last week's Hard Quiz was about which door= bell camera was going to stop giving your camera footage over to any cop wh= o wanted to see what time you took your garbage out last night. 88% of quiz= takers knew that Amazon owns the Ring brand of cameras, and now will ask la= w enforcement for a warrant before they hand over images of you checking yo= ur mail in your bathrobe and house shoes at 3:30 in the afternoon. The hardest question on last week's Easy Quiz was about the late Robb= ie Robertson and his many collaborations with director Martin Scorsese. Onl= y 50% of quiztakers recognized Robertson as a founding member of The Band, = the subject of Scorsese's first movie, the concert film "The Last Waltz" ab= out The Band's (then) final shows as a group (they reunited several times l= ater without Robertson). Scorsese consulted with Robertson on nearly every = project he did after that, including having him score major hits like "The = Irishman" and "Killers of the Flower Moon," for which Robertson has been no= minated for a posthumous Oscar. The easiest question on last = week's Easy Quiz was about a dingy black 1987 Dodge Ram B250 van. 93% of qu= iztakers knew this was the vehicle of choice for Jack Black's character Dew= ey Finn in the 2003 comedy "School of Rock". And for those of you who didn'= t know this, just remember that rock isn't about getting an A and the Sex P= istols never won anything. If you missed out last week, now's a gre= at time to [catch up = on the Fark Weird News Quiz](3D".=) now that you know a few of the answers. Con= gratulations to the winners, 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.
