sawylRather to our collective surprise, we managed an above average finish in tonight's quiz. Despite not knowing the answers to the majority of the climbing questions, we picked up a lot of nerd points in the film and history sections by knowing the names of all six members of Monty Python, the complete Fellowship of the Ring, and the wives of Henry VIII.
At one point we were asked to complete famous Hannibal Lector quote from Silence of the Lambs: "A census taker tried to test me once. I ate his liver with..." I took a look at the answer paper to check that R, who'd been complaining about her inability to spell all evening, had got it all. Seeing the answer and being unable unable to resist being snarky, I said, "Hmm, that's suspicious... You can spell chianti, but you can't spell anything else..." Which got me an outraged "Hey!" from R and an admiring "You're really very insightful, aren't you..." from her sister. Happy families...
