That's why I hunt for these quizzes from time to time. It's always good to keep us on our toes and just about the time I think I KNOW the right answers they fool me so I figure they would fool some of the rest of you as well.

You guys have said you like 'em, so I'll keep looking for them and posting them periodically......just to keep us thinking.

I'll let this go a little while longer and see if anyone else wants to play and then I'll be back with the answers.
