Who will knock me off this lofty perch?

[BallHawk]

The Chinese toy thing was news to me.

I was at least familiar with most of the other stories.

The Pakistani Prime Minister question was unfair because I knew the former PM but disagreed that this person was the cause of the riots--the political situation caused the riots--so I guessed at another name.

I had the airline question also but changed it when I thought I might have confused that airline story with another.

I flip-flopped the two car manufacturers.

That was fun.

I always thought it was great watching "Who Do You Know Wants to Be a Millionaire?" and some smart nerdy dude would be nailing questions like the ones in this quiz and then at the 250,000 dollar level Regis would ask, "Which well-known rapper received a Grammy for the hit song 'BEACH U BAD-BUST A CAP IN U AX!'"? and the poor smart guy would look sad and leave with the 100k.

I spend X amount of time doing it, then it prompts me to take a survey to which I choose not to do, then it starts the test all over again

[Scott Campbell]

96%, which helps explain why I can remember bullshit that Harlan posted 3 years ago.

How can you guys score so high when you spend so much time on this forum?
