    Ok I think we need a trivia game on here. Here's how this is gonna work, I'll post the first question and the questions can be pretty much anything as long as it doesn't violate any board rules. I'll start the game with the first question and whoever gets it right (the person who determines who gets it first/right is the person asking the question) and whoever gets it asks the next question. The game goes from there, if no ones responds within a 36-42 hour window of time an impartial person (mod or not) will determine who goes next.

    The questions can be asked in pretty much any form: True or False, or basic question. I'd say just no multiple choice.

    I'll start this off with the question

    What is the only mammal that cannot jump?

    Elephant is correct.

    I love trivia too I drive most of the people I know crazy because I always have a related factoid at the ready.

    My first guess was Mother's day. So... I'm going with that.

    Mother's day?

    I read somewhere that mothers day gets the most calls and fathers day gets the most cards. Because mothers, generally, complain more about not actually talking to their babies. Do I get to post a question now?

    Yes indeed it was.

    Great job!


    Man I love these games. I know so much useless information. I didn't even look up the Mother's day thing... learned that in sociology I think. Anyway... I won't be doing any googling for this game, but I can't wait for more quetions. Trivia is one of my favorites.
