Yeah - and that was the only one I could eliminate right of the bat (bloody hell, that sounds painful too - what Phin hath created...)

And I take small solace in that only four of the top 20 have a better percentage than I do right now.

Well, shoit, I was just starting to get good at the OTHER one, ferfracksake...
I'm NOT going in here.  NOTNOTNOT...

did you catch that option No. 4 was Jesus of Nazareth?  

Good going Scott!  I completely pulled that one out of my butt (yes, Phin, that's painful too  ), as I don't know a thing about college football.

I'm in 23rd position now.  I think it's a slugfest from here on out.  I'd better go grab lunch so I'm here next time the bell rings!

Dmax, ExLax, hell if SFW can rhyme, so can I!  And *that's* painful!

Woot!  Just passed dmax!

Yeah, I figured it would be slower going in the upper echelon, especially considering neither of us started at the beginning of the week (is it Sunday or Monday?).  I'll be happy if I actually break into the top twenty.

Well I didn't lose any ground in the rankings but I was taking the girl to school so I didn't answer. I can see tho that it's going to be hard to climb higher since the top 20s are pretty far apart...

Kachunkachunk.  Up to 27th.

Good idea for the separate thread...

You can play on the website, the mechanism's exactly the same, except the standalone app comes to the front of the stack when a question comes in; otherwise you have to listen for the website app to chime... which is hard when RP's going

It looks like some of us are playing here, so I thought I'd give it its own thread instead of confusing the FunTrivia thread with Ringorang comments.  If you want to play, go here:  http://ringorang.com/myGames.html. You have to sign up and download a small piece of software (if you want to be automatically reminded).  We're all asked the same question once during some point every hour.  You can decline to play or (I think) if you don't click that you want to play, it defaults to a decline response.  Points are based on response time, with bonus points for getting three in a row. Of course, points are deducted if you answer incorrectly.  And it's not just for bragging rights - they actually give away prizes (GCs, t-shirts). 

I can see that SFW is in the the Top 20 - WTG (*not* WTF) SFW!  I'm slowly moving up, currently in 33rd position, with 83% correct, so look out - I'm on your heels!
