I know stuff before my time, like the fire. It's the stuff after my time that's unfair, like the bands. Couldn't name a song by any of them, let alone the birthplace of the members.

10/15, hitting some educated guesses.

10/15. Not bad for someone who has lived in Florida all his life! Although, there were several educated guesses, and I got lucky on a few WAGs.

This be true.
2 of 17 correct, pretty much all were (UN) Educated guesses.

You were supposed to learn history in public education. If you had the luxury of private education you should do even better.
If you went to a private catholic school, I'm pretty sure you can still pray for the forgiveness of all your sins ;-)

If I had beaten you the government would have had to suspend your citizenship for six months.

As far as the long sentence. You think that got to me? You should see me reading bad grammar posts on Facebook. Those drive me crazy.

I probably should have gotten the record company question right, but I went with Romes personal status as my answer. I got a few coin flip guesses correct so that helped.

5/15, pretty terrible because most were guesses. However, much like RS as an 85 baby, I was either still a sperm or a wee little one at the time this stuff took place.

Face, you clearly needed that vultures game genie code for this one.

And Romes can we keep the Halo "noob" insults to a minimum please. I was a brigadier, just sayin... And that was for lone wolf, not that team slayer brouhaha.

Hah. I too am a mid 80's baby! As far as halo, not that it matters nor anyone would believe, but I was ranked 3rd world wide during Halo 2 MLG days when they still had the 1v1 tournaments to decipher such a fact. I beat #3 and never played #1/#2 (Karma & Ogre2 respectively). Karma played on another level though, would have been fun win or lose to play him. Everyone knows spelling newb as "n00b" is lame. Us old school hardcore video game insulters stick to the original spelling, "newb!"

#3? Lol, suxxors. git gud, newb.

J/k =) We had mad LAN parties for Halo V1.0. Our rival team had a "dossier" (a Trapper Keeper) from "clandestine surveillance" (peeking through the banister) to decipher our strategery. It was a good 200 pages thick, has separators and everything. Opened it and the first page titled "Red Team Tactics" has but one entry.

1. F#$%ing chuck grenades everywhere

All 199 other pages and dividers were blank.
