Peachbox, I'm gonna grab us a couple sarsaparillas and set up some beach chairs over by the Devil's Paint Pots.

Hehe, I'll join you. Thought I had a singleton for sure.

Thank you for hosting a fun TD, Peter !

Thought of only Lewis and Clark, and dismissed Lewis since I knew he died much earlier than 1836. Never even considered Hamilton-Burr duel (doh!). Turns out the Lewis and Clark expedition departed in May 1804. Down goeth the FJ percentage.

I managed to finish in 17th place, despite having the second lowest TCA in A Magnolia, and being 8 questions below my average TCA. My only 9(6) win was against a forfeit, which seemed sort of appropriate. Hopefully, when I have less going on at work, I will again be able to actually read the questi...

Many thanks to sherder for posting the videos for the tests this time and always. You're a peach!

43 here. It did feel tougher than usual, though -- maybe because I missed 3 out of the first 10. Could have got a couple more, but I'll take it. Best of luck to those of you taking the test tomorrow or Thursday.

Wow! My first TD win

Thanks for hosting, floridagator !

Three 5s and a 4, with only a 1-2-1 record. Welcome to A Rundle.

Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark won the Australian Open tennis tournament, 7-6 (7-2), 3-6, 6-4, over Simona Halep of Romania. It's the first Grand Slam title for Wozniacki and also the first Slam for any player from Denmark.

Battle of Gravelines = huh? "Spanish Armada"? How do you get it out of that clue?! That whole category was a billion miles over my head I got it not from the battle, but from 1588 in the clue, the year the Armada was defeated.
