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. :)

Yes, Squirrel, with your questions I'll probably have to do a lot of Googling. Well, it's never too late for learning.

... did I say Google... oops [hides face with paws in shame]
LED Arsenal ... yech! Go Inter! And Nick Cave has a song Hallelujah, but it aint the same one, sorry... "I took the small roads out of town and I passed a cow and the cow was brown..." I'm listening to it now... Nick has problems... [he's not the only one I hear RC say... ]

Della's answers + Ijon's 6. and Grey's / LED's 2. = well done folks...

Umm OK 8. is the sticking point. Answer is Meatloaf :)

And now I'll be gone... like like a bat outa hell... like a bat outa helllllll... [sighs]

Ijon says I'm the family quiz maker, but he promises to write one soon. Knowing him, it'll probably be something connected to SF. And, Squirrel, we're still waiting for those things hairy, scary, contrary, and above all 'bout Mary.
