Test Your Common Knowledge
Here's a new game we can try.
If any of you have seen the Howard Stern show on E!, then you may be familiar with the game he plays with porn stars, penthouse pets, strippers etc. He asks them common knowledge questions and it's funny to see how stupid they are. For example, he'll ask, "Who invented the telephone?" "Who wrote Huckleberry Finn?" "How many feet in a yard?" or "How many years in a decade?" Here's how our game will play. Without the help of the internet, answer the question from the person posting above, and then post your own question. Try to make these common knowledge questions. It should be easy. Let's see how it goes. I'll start with a grammar question: Which of the following sentences is correct? A. I don't know whose shoes are under the bed. B. I don't know who's shoes are under the bed. Answer the question and pose your own. |

In honor of the fact that I'm getting ready to head out to the teletrack: What was the name of the first horse to win the Kentucky Derby? The horse was Aristides; the jockey was Lewis. Is knowledge of the past Kentucky Derby winners really "common knowledge" though? P.S. You got the order of the planets wrong. Jupiter is closer to the sun than Saturn. When is the moon a "blue moon"? |

A blue moon is the third full moon in a season that has four full moons… or... the second full moon in a calendar month… What color is a crab’s blood? |
