| It's time for a high-speed quizzing extravaganza! I know you've missed out on a lot of quiz consistency this past month, and that's a true shame. We'll make up for it right now, this week, with action-packed ADRENALINE!
The next four days will have four quizzes with four questions, one quiz a day. You have TWENTY-FOUR HOURS to take your best shot, because the answers will be up and running the next day. No time to snooze! The heat is on!
(I've been in Kenya for a little while, so I've got a lot of energy stored up for this. Let's go!)

| Don't worry, the quiz is not dead. It's just... pining for the fjords. I will indeed put out the results from the latest quizly offering as soon as possible, which could be Sunday, or Monday, or Tuesday. Life and work in Kenya make some things more challenging. So, once I'm back in the good ole USA, we can get back to non-serious business. And business is good. As a side note, I have not had a satisfactory gin and tonic since I arrived here. Nor have I encountered a decent pudding. Cute exotic baby animals, however, are in full swing. I suppose one out of three isn't too bad... - Tags:reminders
- Location:Kenya
- Mood:busy
- Music:Lions and Tigers, Only in Kenya!

| Hello quizlings and quizlingas! As previously reported, I'm in Kenya. So, yeah, things will be a bit delayed this time around. However, that's no excuse for you not to play this- err, last week's quiz. Sorry for the delay; it's been hectic, and between planning and flying and stuff, I ran out of time. But answers will show; they just might be a bit late. However, there will be monkeys, as soon as I upload pictures of real live monkeys. And if we're lucky, lions too. Probably no tigers. Go! Play! Take Quiz! Only in Kenya! | |

| So, here we are, a week late, and... yeah. Some minor technical difficulties, most of which involve me going to Kenya for a work trip. Yes, that Kenya. Yes, with lions and tigers. Except not so many tigers. Nor bears. Anyway, the point is, sorry, things are crazy, and at long last here's a quiz to keep you busy. My bad. And, in all probability, answers will be late as well, unless Kenya starts treating me nicely. We'll see how that turns out.
Meanwhile, cheap quiz.
1. What movie starring Seann William Scott involved him selling sperm, stealing a school bus from a blind lady, and leaving Tom Green behind to care for a voracious snake?
2. You can’t travel this way anymore, but back in its day, some of the highlights of this path included Soda Springs, Chimney Rock, and Fort Bridger, which was actually burned down by Mormons, of all people. What was this path called?
3. What tale follows the adventures of Professor Otto Lidenbrock, his nephew Axel, and their guide Hans?
4. Fun with lyrics! Name the song and the artist: Winter is here, again, Oh Lord Haven`t been home in a year or more I hope she holds on a little longer
5. What man-made object (or, for the politically correct, device of human manufacture) holds the distinction of having traveled the longest distance ever?
