Blackbead Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 10 of 12! But two of them were just lucky guesses. As Napoleon said, "Give me a general who is lucky!"

BriarRose Kildare Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 I really enjoyed this. I got 10 out of 12 WOOOHoo! Any other trivia questions?

Ransom Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Eight out of twelve on the first test. Seven out of eight on the second. So, did we all miss the same one? For me it was question seven. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

LadyBarbossa Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 10 out of 12. I missed Haiti (aye, more know about Hispaniola than I do the modern names of the island. Oddly enough I STILL call it Hispaniola. )... and Hook's Captain. I could have SWORN it was Bart though. Oh, well. The rest I got right. The Inferno... ahhh... Willie had one fine vessel there! Even for something that was from 1632! Hahaha.. at least it wasn' the "A sharp or B flat" question. Not bad, mates, not bad though. I'm sure we'd do FAR better than most out there. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Hester Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 9/12 on the first test The Goonies???? Seriously... I've never seen it! (Should I?)
Hester Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 5/8 on the second. I guess I shoulda got the Pastaferian Q, if I'd given more than a cursory glance to the noodle-head thread here.

Bloodrose Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 11 out of 12...missed the dollar sign one...I always thought the dollar sign had two lines through it which were formed from the letters U and S, and then the curve on the U were dropped. I write the dollar sign with two lines through it to this day. Captain Myfanwy T. "Bloodrose" Blodynrhos The Midnight Rose "Why is the rum always gone?" ::stagger:: "Oh. That's why."
