Trivia Thursday. blah

I know I suck. The man keeps trying to bring me down. I have been crazy busy at work, staying late, etc. And when I am at home, I am playing Guitar Hero III. Ridiculously addictive. I lurve it. I did not want to miss out on Trivia Thursday though. So here you go. These United States of America. I guess with Election Day coming, I was inspired. I think that since schools are off, I should have off from work, but my employer does not seem to think so.

It is once again Trivia Thursday. I will post a new set of trivia questions every Thursday. The rules are simple. Please put your answers in the comments section of the post and I will reveal the answers tomorrow. No Cheating! I trust that all of you will all use the honor system? That means you will not use Google, (or any other internet searches) or mooch off other peoples answers. Cheating is BAD. If your employer has somehow made it impossible for you to post comments (bastards), you may also email me your answers to me at MCnMarty@hotmail.com.

Good luck.
