That...I agree with you about useless knowledge. That's why I enjoy your Trivia. I guess I just wanted to make sure it was a level playing field. I expected you to play fair but after seeing "Themyscira," I began to wonder if you used the I-net to get questions for which we couldn't use the I-net to answer.<br /><br />So its your brain-load of useless knowledge against ours - GAME ON!Steve USMA '85https://www.blogger.com/profile/01098957060650513905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-13150386647979343962009-08-25T20:18:44.462-07:002009-08-25T20:18:44.462-07:00Steve, for the most part I know the answers off th...Steve, for the most part I know the answers off the top of my head. Infrequently, I'll come up with a question I find interesting and will guess and then look up the answer, or I might look up information so I can expound upon an answer.<br /><br />There's an old quote that I'll paraphrase: "There is much pleasure to be gained by the collection of useless knowledge." In this regard I am *very* pleased :-)Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-42485322988677715242009-08-25T05:21:28.309-07:002009-08-25T05:21:28.309-07:00Hamtramck, Michigan!

So she concocted the whole "invisible island" con because growing up in a blue-collar neighborhood in the Detroit area just didn't work for her.<br /><br />Hope this helps.allen (in Michigan)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-65559865210985952422009-08-25T05:10:45.530-07:002009-08-25T05:10:45.530-07:00OK, I was going to say the Amazon or maybe a ficti...OK, I was going to say the Amazon or maybe a fictional land of Amazonia because I know she came from a race called the Amazons.<br /><br />However, I just looked it up online and realize that I don't have the right answer (although her race is the Amazons). Do you know these things off the top of your head or do you use the I-net to come up with them? Hard to believe a normal person knows how to spell her homeland let alone remember it.Steve USMA '85https://www.blogger.com/profile/01098957060650513905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-110300360862364002009-08-24T20:25:17.613-07:002009-08-24T20:25:17.613-07:00Phoenix, Az...upps, that's Linda Carter.
