See if there is interest for this.
1. Each day I will post 10 questions, at random times of the day.
2. Each Quiz runs exactly 24 hours.
3. The first person that has all 10 questions right, wins. Or if no one has all questions right, the best one wins.
4. You can only post answers ONCE for the same quiz.
5. No cash involved. Just glory. :)

Sorry for taking so long on the answers, but here they are...
1. Blue
2. Kermit the Frog
3. The room where actors or performers relax
4. Jealousy
5. Dipsy
6. Ralph Nader
7. The green M&M is a female
8. A newcomer or 'newbie'
9. Purple
10. Green Day
BONUS: Whatever comes to you...
The winner...or, rather, WINNERS, are Serena Siren and jstkdn (jstkdn since she added Rhiemma's bonus answers to Serena's quiz). Serena's got 'em all right, except for not including the bonus answers (which jstkdn included), but I really can't decide on one winner, so them two can duke it out on who can go next.

Serena or me, doesn't matter! If serena wants to post a pubquiz, she should. If not, then I can. Serena?
The Robben shirt........last week they cost 50 Eur which would be waaaay too much to hand out as a price. But now that we miserably lost, to Portugal no less, it's probably worth 5 bucks. :)
