Quizzo Results

Blogger.com has been acting weird lately and somehow managed to delete my recent Quizzo entry. I've reproduced it here:


In an epic Quizzo battle for the ages, the Myoclonic Jerks narrowly edged the Cool Chaussures by a score of 34-33 last night. The evenly-matched teams were tied after each of the initial 3 rounds and it wasn't until the 4th & final round that the Jerks eeked out a victory. Honorable mentions go to the Rectum Rouge & Rectum Bleu (don't ask) teams.

For those of you unable to make it or would like to try out your quizzo knowledge online...I have included questions from rounds 1, 2, and 4 (Round 3 was a picture round of famous paintings which would be too much of a pain in the ass to put online) below. A link to the answers can be found at the bottom of the page. Happy Quizzoing!
