Hedgeek's Trivia Throwdown
60Ok trivia fans, it's time for the annual Hedgeek Trivia Throwdown sponsored by our friends and HubPages. This year you will be competing against the undisputed trivia champion (that would be me since this is the first annual and nobody has won yet).
This is how the Throwdown works, I will get things started with some bit of trivia, and you can add yours. I will try to respond until either
- 1) Somebody comes up with something so trivial it can't be topped
Or
- 2) Everybody gets bored and we just randomly pick a winner (more likely case)
The winner of the Throwdown receives the title "Winner of the annual Hedgeek Trivia Throwdown", accolades, and of course the envy of everyone who participated.
Best of luck trivia heads and let the Throwdown begin.
Sidenote: Anything offensive gets deleted so keep it above board please.
