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. :)

Hey, look Ma! I'm a question! That's cool!

Hey—

I fared well last time and this is a lot of fun, so here’s my crack at the latest quiz…

1. true
2. nope—false
3. true- Faeryshan is indeed a moderator (Hey Faeryshan, you're in an answer now too) :)
4. false- it was developed in the 1960’s
5. true – Yuck!- I could’ve gone without that tidbit of information :)
6. false- it lasted only 38 minutes
7. true- and this person was a weirdo
8. true
9. false- it’s a myth
10. false- it was made in 1955
11. false- another myth
12. true- I’m going to leave this one alone.
13. false- it’s 35%! I’m shocked! That’s scarier than the Grim Reaper guy
14. true- parts of the Bible have been translated in Klingon
15. false- it’s 10%
16. true
17. true
18. false- it’s Baywatch
19. true
20. true- that’s just awful!

And we have a winner. Actually number 2 in the trivia questions I had the answer was yes. In a movie called "Junior"....I tried to verify this (as you surely did some research in getting all the other questions right)....but couldn't. Jodie foster is not even in the actors list on IMBD.com

YAY!
5 and 13 shocked me! A maggot is allowed for every 100 grams of tomato puree, gross. I would have surely have answered false to this one, and it is actually true.

Had to laugh about the Grim Reaper story.

about tomatoes---my dad told me that years ago-he had a summer job in a cannery when he was a senior in High school and he had to check the gunk concentration. what's worse is if they have a batch that's too dirty, they mix it with "cleaner" batches until gets diluted and it passes the test.

Ewwwww!

Gross!

(I have something like that about chicken, but if I said it, no one would want to eat chicken any more)

I had a friend who actually had the chicken job....for one day. Then she quit.

I think anyone that has worked in the food industry can tell a tale. I just to work in a bakery and in a lunch meat butcher place. Gross man.

But 100grams is not very much at all. That's like a can. 1 maggot per can. UUUUUURGH.

Theres also a law about allowing an amount of rat droppings in a hotdog. Something like 3 droppings. Also, a Mars bar has an average of 5 insect legs. Apparently, a person eats one insect or arachnid(spider) in their sleep every year.

So a can of tomato sauce is like a years worth of sleep. The glass is half full!:)
