Just to give our brains a little stretch...

That's just it.... a trivia game where anything goes.

First, a WC ques:

What was the first kingdom to fall to the orcs?
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Trivia games are not "brain-stretching." They merely test how much trivia is resident in your memory.  "Brain-stretching" would involve a logical puzzle or creative project.  Dragging up useless facts does nothing to exercise and fortify the mental capacities whatsoever.

Sounds good. Here's a brainteaser- find a way to send a signal across the Internet to the computer of the next person to mention Warcraft here, making his/her computer electrocute him/her through the keyboard.

I'll pay you every cent I have if you find a working way to do this.
Webpage. Yes.

Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman
