I got 7/10. I think all the ones I missed were American.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I got 8 out of ten: answered the questions about Crapper and mud-slinging wrong. Although the lake one I got right for the wrong reason, since I grew up in MA.

I'd only actually heard of 3 of those before I first ran across that quiz. So I got those right and the rest were guesses.

I was reading Hubby some of the near-death stories, and his answer to "what's the closest you've been death?" was "which time?" He's had his heart stop on him three times so far, plus so many near misses he's lost count. When I finally knew him well enough to see him without clothes, we'd play "What's that scar from?" "That one's from being sideswiped by a shark in Hawaii, I guess he got tired of me annoying him. That one's from a gang fight in LA. That's where I got shot, I don't remember where." Then there's the heart attacks. As he says, "It's almost like a game show, now, how many I can survive." He has personally raised the survivability average in our county.
Me? Ignoring infected mosquito bites until I keeled over in the hospital parking lot and a passing nurse looked at me and said, "ER. Now." Septicemia and congestive heart failure, whee.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Um, 3. Columbus, Jefferson/Adams, and ice cream . And I majored in the subject.

Fred, don't feel too bad. I had a fairly exhaustive high school education on US history (not that it compares to a major, just...it was more thorough than the few classes I had to take for my policsci major,) and like I said, I'd only heard of three of those. I suspect it depends highly on ...well, something.

How the hell does the dog always know what time it is?
Eight-thirty, every night. Doesn't matter if the last walk was at noon or at 7:45, she always starts fussing at me at 8:30. For the last time, I'm not ready! Please god just leave me alone for fifteen minutes and I swear we'll go back out.
Okay, rant over. I feel better. No visible canine effect, however.

Am I too late to play the death quiz?
