Last night was another trivia night out with some of my family – we didn't do so hot the first couple of rounds but ended up coming back (although not quite enough to be in contention.) Still, a good time was had by all, and plenty of libations were consumed in the process. On to the trivia!
Again, I'll post the answers tomorrow.
Oh, and if you feel like trying to answer these yourself, just be aware that some people may try to answer in the comments, so don't read ahead unless you want some of the answers spoiled for you.
