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. :)

I'm sorry, everyone...I got caught up with some agency business and it completely slipped my mind that I was supposed to post the next quiz. In honor of my faux pas, here is:

The Seven Deadly Sins Quiz

Round 1

Answer the following seven questions and receive an extra bonus point if you can name the deadly sin that each question pertains to.

2. In Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, which character speaks these words: "My ear should catch your voice, my eye your eye, My tongue should catch your tongue's sweet melody. Were all the world mine, Demetrius being bated, The rest I'll give to be to you translated."

3. How many hours a day does the average cat sleep?

4. Attributed to its rule over the reproductive organs, which of the 12 Zodiac signs is known for having a particularly amorous nature?

5. The surname of this Dicken's character has come to be a synonym for miserliness and misanthropy.

6. Which U.S. President is humorously known for repeatedly getting stuck in the White House bath tub.

7. Which lead singer famously said that his band was "more popular than Jesus?"

Round 2

And to finish off the quiz with 10 questions...The 3 lesser known deadly sins of Sleuth.

Forgetting Two Birthdays In A Row
8. How many birthdays does the average man have?

Comitting a Slight That Is Long Forgotten
9. What two American pioneer families living on the border of West Virginia and Kentucky were involved in famous a famous feud that is rumored to have started over the ownership on a hog?
