Well, hey. It's a new week, and time for the
The Monday Quiz
To respond to this quiz, if I may paraphrase Tom Waits, you're going to have to go all the way back to the Civil War.
States of the Confederacy
Is it, or isn't it?
1. Arkansas
2. Florida
3. Illinois
4. Maryland
5. West Virginia
Quite a few extra points for knowing the question that, in order to answer, Tom Waits had to go "all the way back to the Civil War."
Am I really first? I'll be brief for a change and improve my odds. Leaving aside the present/past tense question, my answers are:
ReplyDelete1. Arkansas -- is
2. Florida -- is
3. Illinois -- isn't
4. Maryland -- isn't
5. West Virginia -- isn't
I should know these, but as it will quickly become apparent, I don't.
ReplyDelete1. Arkansas--is
2. Florida--is
3. Illinois--isn't
4. Maryland--isn't?
5. West VA--isn't?
Were all of these even states back then? Damn, I used to teach this stuff.
Ooook.

2. No

No bonus points for me, I don't know the question.
PS - Go Ducks!
ReplyDeleteonly AK and FL.
ReplyDeleteNone of the above.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go with something where I'll be the first person to give this answer. Only Illinois isn't. Do I get bonus points if I echo Rebel and say "Go Ducks"?
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the song, but I remember the question: "Tom, is it possible for a girl to get pregnant without intercourse?"
ReplyDelete...It's a form of intercourse for those who love action, maybe.
1, 2, 4
ReplyDeleteWouldn't the correct answer be that none of them are states of the confederacy? Maybe some of them were, but no longer.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'll give this a shot:
1. was?
2. wasn't?
3. wasn't?
4. wasn't?
5. was?
Illinois was not. We were the good guys.
ReplyDeleteWell, the winners anyway.
