It was definitely a fun night for trivia.  Seven teams entered the arena, but only four remained to claim victory.

Who drove the first car to use a rearview mirror?

Of the many positions on a pirate ship, who actually wields the most power? (I realize this one is a bit open ended, so there are a few answers I'll accept.)

Once again, our first half winners failed to convert in the second half, leaving Does This Smell Like Chloroform? in the lead.

My Couch Pulls Out But I Don't took home a free app and 10 bucks!  That's a better prize, if you ask me.

Get Crit rounded out third.

US or Them Guys stuck it out for our fourth place try.

I know I usually start out every single post that way, but we really did have a fun night of trivia.  Enemies were made, frenemies were lost and I think I've lost any shred of coolness I may have had by using the word "frenemies."

The Sandlot celebrated its 20th anniversary this year.  What was Mike Vitar's last sports role?

Speaking of actors, who's leaving SNL this year?

In first place, Does This Smell Like Choloroform?

Onders had an impressive name and a semi-impressive second place finish.

My Couch Pulls Out But I Don't pulled off the first half win, but failed to maintain the momentum needed.

Finally, Get Crit, recorded a solid fourth!

Thanks for playing trivia with me last week.  You're full of sage wisdom. Keep it up!

What big company recently won a supreme court action against a farmer for, get this, harvesting the seeds from his crop and replanting?

What baseball player was rumored to be illiterate and is still holds the sixth highest single-season batting average since 1901?

Our winners!

Crisco pulled into the lead with a record setting point total.

My Couch Pulls Out... Yada Yada scored an impressive second.

With some MIA tickets and an MIA picture, Get Crit came in third.

Does This Smell Like Chloroform forgot their mega round!

I love upsets, but even more so, I love seeing a new winner crowned.  Thankfully, we had one this week.

Hans Blix was the UN Chief Weapons inspector until 2010.  What did Adolf Brix inspect and create a measurement sytem for?

Alright Disney nerds!  What does Mulan's male name mean?

IN first, My Couch Pulls Out But I Don't!

Which NBA player enjoyed so many nerdy pursuits that he asked his teammates to call him "Merlin" when he first joined the league?

What is the word for the color our eye sees in perfect darkness?

Hah, now you're all closing your eyes!

In first this week, both in the first half and the second, Does This Smell Like Chloroform? couldn't be caught.  Too bad they didn't do well in our Spring Invitational.  So y'all can lord that one over them.

In second place, My Couch Pulls Out But I Don't. Don't worry, next week will be awesome.

Finally, Get Crit, pulled of a ridculously photgenic third place with only two people! That's right Chloroform, you beat these guys by a mere 5.5 points. 

Good luck next Tuesday!

Which basketballer "fired" an average of 44.2 points per game in 83 contests and led the NCAA in scoring each of his three season?

We have some fun trivia planned for tomorrow night as well.

Which mutant and sometimes X-men character got married last year?

You've been begging for another sports question so here's one: Who coached the 1960 U.S. Olympic swim team and four NCAA championship swim teams?  Hint, one of those schools was in the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship last night.

 

How about some winners?

In first overall, Does this Smell Like Chloroform to You? with 45 points.

 

A half point behind them, with 44.5 points,  Neil Diamondbacks!

It was a tough trivia night.  Tempers were raised and the highest score for the first half was 10! Great work everyone.

How about a few questions?  (That last one doesn't count)

Evil Dead opens next weekend (April 4th), sans one of the men who made it all possible.  What was the title of Bruce Campbell's autobiography?

Speaking of B-Movies, what two movies do I have an IMDB credit for?

Who has the most PGA tour wins?

Which of Napoleon Bonaparte's lieutenants was allowed to order his own execution?

How about some winners?

They brought a baby, won the first half and then lost half their team.  Could Lock and Load still win? They did with 52 points in fact.

In second, Crisco showed up and pulled off 44 points.

Finally, My Couch Pulls Out But I Don't had 43 points.

Nice job folks.  I'll see y'all next week!
