This entry is my 200th! It’s one of those high points that only I’m aware of, but what the heck. The last time I hit a similar milestone, I did the slightly gimmicky 100 Things list, so why should this be an exception? In honor of my two hundred entries, I’ve compiled two hundred — just kidding! — twenty trivia questions that can be answered from one’s own brain or by hunting through the blog.
I’m curious as to the degree of difficulty here. As one of my more cantankerous college professors would say regarding an exam, “I thought it was easy.” Right, very helpful. Answers — available for impatient or highly-motivated folks — will go live on Monday.
Happy scavenging!
