truth's trivial treachery
<< Jul 12, 2006 @ 09:56 >>
I played trivia with Gray, Anne, Laura, and Ian last night. One of the questions was, "What animal can't jump?" Then they decided to clarify and say, "What four-legged mammal can't jump?" They were irritated at the players' irritation in them obviously doing what amounts to completely changing the question.
Worms don't fucking jump. If you meant mammal, say fucking mammal next time.
Anne's answer was also good: dead. Dead animals don't jump.
I was all for "sloth," but Laura disagreed. I don't know what went on our sheet, but they were looking for "elephant." I've seen elephants jump. Baby elephants jump. What bullshit.
They also totally screwed up the definitions of isotope and ion.
AND, if we had known we could write down the actors' names instead of just character names we all had Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor... and Gray knew exactly who those two like 50s actors were as well.
The good news is, since I'm clearly smarter than the trivia masters... I think victory will be ours!
Oh... best part? No sports questions.
