Anyone ever hear of Sporcle? Holy shit, what an addicting trivia site. Seriously, just play one trivia game there and the claws will reach deep into you and capture you forever. Feel free to [add me](http://www.sporcle.com/user/IdleThoughts) on there, to compare brains, if you sign up (or are already on there) ---

> [@Jamicat](#): > > :mad: Wasted almost a whole morning/afternoon, did ya? Iā€™m sorry. Me too, though. [This quiz](http://www.sporcle.com/games/superfly360/clickable-songs-that-have-parentheses) (Songs that have parentheses in their titles) was fun and I did pretty good on it. I got 38 out of 42. Beat that, yaā€™ll (heh, Iā€™m sure someone will). And [this one](http://www.sporcle.com/games/citkeane/pop-group-members) (put the members into the boy/girl bands) I was surprised that I knew 25 out of 30 (donā€™t know whether to be happy or ashamed) [This one](http://www.sporcle.com/games/jdfulp/second-word) (name the SECOND word in well-known songs) was also really fun, as was [this one](http://www.sporcle.com/games/sufradley/song-time-clickable) (You have to click the song titles in order of QUICKEST time mentioned in the title to LONGEST TIME mentioned). Iā€™m finding most of these to be fun. So much for my evening plans. If anyone wants to compare scores, just add me [here](http://www.sporcle.com/user/IdleThoughts) (but you need to sign up first). ---

Why, Yesā€¦ Yes, I could have done something else today. The mewing of critter cats tells me that itā€™s time to eat something. ---

I never watched _Will & Grace_ so I didnā€™t know who the last 2 people were. 20 out of 40, donā€™t think I did too well. I didnā€™t know any of the Will and Grace characters, any of the Sex In the City characters, any of the Dawsonā€™s Creek characters, only two Seinfeld characters, and only two of the Golden Girls. Never watched any of those shows. ---

Does this mean you had 2:19 left on the clock, so got it in :41 seconds (as it counts down from 3:00)? I got it in 1:32, so 1:28 was left on the clock. 41 seconds is impressive. ---
