I was contemplating what I was going to write - there having been a whole lot of nothing to take up the week - when I noticed that my tape giveaway page had today as its day of last update. I found this odd, as I don't think I've touched (or even looked) at the page in a good month, if not longer.

To the best of my knowledge, the update date includes comments. Those comments appear to be, by and large, comment spam. While I feel compelled to clean the comments out, I can't say I'm particularly motivated to do it right now.

Anyway, as you may have guessed from the lack of questions I didn't go to bar trivia this week. Qualifying for the next tournament starts this coming Tuesday, so it'll be back to it then. However, one of my teammates went out last Wednesday and, by chance, wound up at a place that also does bar trivia. He sent some questions, so I'll throw those at you instead:

What shoe company was the first to have an athlete as an endorser? Converse (Greg) - as noted, the erstwhile Chuck Taylors.

What are the tallest mountains in the US, Japan, France, and Greece? Denali, Fuji, Mont Blanc, and Olympus (Greg).

In 1969, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of his birth, who became the first non-Brit depicted on a postage stamp?

What four musicians recorded the Burt Bacharach song "That's What Friends are For" in 1985 as a fundraiser for AIDS research? Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight, Stevie Wonder and Elton John (Allyson).

What type of bear is the world's largest land carnivore? Brown Kodiak bear - Looking back, the question as emailed to me noted the largest "ever recorded," not the more general sense that I gave it hear. I suck.
