Well, Shayna, your incredible skills have unearthed the “Barbapapa” on the internet. Is there no corner of human trivia that remains hidden from the WWW?

Bricker, I guess that any quiz will turn into a test on proficiency with a search engine. Though I’ve always thought that, just as important as information, it’s important to know where to go to find information quickly. So the test isn’t really a bad one. And for example, “What do Ru-Paul and Portia have in common?” is a question that, in addition to a search engine, does need some prior knowledge to answer quickly and accurately.

I like Bobby O’s idea, having people send you an e-mail and you posting their results on the SDMB.
