Man what happened to the epic marathon trivia battles that would go on for pages and pages.

We either need to make these harder or stay away from search engines.

As far as I am aware, Mitch doesn't allow search engines already.

I don't do search engines for 2 reasons

1. it would be cheating

2. it's too much trouble and it's easier to just guess

It's not like the prizes are color TV's or anything

Way more fun to guess, as well.

However, having said that, I think we need to rerun the contest. I knew the answer because it was in a trivia game we used to play at my old job when we had nothing to do. BUT, this was ringing a bell to me all morning so I finally did some checking and, sure enough, this question had already been asked in a previous contest.

I'll let Mitch decide as it is his contest.

Without reveling my source of questions I have to say a technical glitch gave me a repeat. But that question was asked 8 months ago so I doubt anyone remembered it. So the question stands

Yahhooo! Thanks Mitch!
