Trivia competition - $75 for first place. . .

Ok, this will be an unbiased trivia contest. While some questions will obviously be about a particular person who will know the answer, others will attempt to confuse one's senses with regards to their perceptions of the true GP. In other words, most of the people that know me won't be able to answer the questions any better than those that don't. Anyways, I will try to create as many questions as I feel like right now - multiple choice, and the winner will get $75. I can send the $ to party, stars, neteller, or paypal. If you know me personally, I can hand you the money. Or, if I don't know you, I suppose I can send a check if you don't have any of the previous accnts. All responses can be sent to gandrewp@gmail.com, and please give your full name and address if you think I might not be familiar with your email address. You will receive no bubble blog spam, as this is obviously a hack blog anyways. . . . onto the Q's. . . Contest will end in one week, next monday at 6 p.m.
