dwdqWhat makes the Quiz special, you might ask?
Well, to follow up our introduction yesterday, our motto is: "Smart is easy; funny is hard."
In the age of Google and the Internet, the answers to trivia questions can be found in seconds. So no one really cares about the correct answers. Nope. We care about creativity. Creativity might involve the right answer. It might involve not knowing the answer and owning it. It might involve an appropriate film or TV quote. It might involve a tangent the likes of which the world has never seen.
We've collected a few examples from Quizzes past to give you a taste.
What is the name of the yellowish alloy of gold and silver?
"Electrium? Electrum? Something that sounds like a portmanteau of 'electric rectum.'" - angel_of_olore
"Elect Rum in 2012: The drunker of the two evils." – woap
Who is Mr. Dark's partner in running the "Pandemonium Shadow Show"?
"Mr. Light" - PAINFULLY OBVIOUS, EVERYONE. TRY AGAIN.
"Bud Light" - seferin
(Okay, half credit for that. -CV)
According to legend, who is responsible for driving all of the snakes out of Ireland?

Who was known for scooping up field mice and bopping them on the head?

What venomous snake dines mostly on other snakes, as reflected in its scientific name Ophiophagus hannah?

"Hello Torquemada. Hello Torquefada. I'm here at Camp Gawanna..." - tinamachina
"Conquesodor! He was in charge of the cheese." - mandydax

So, in summary, be funny, be punny, quote a movie, make something up, go all stream of consciousness on us... the sky's the limit!
NOTE: The DWDQ will contain adult humor, rude language, blasphemy, heresy, iniquity, discord, strife, spam, eggs, bacon, spam, scum, villainy, Sting, lasers, spoilers, chaos, order, bollocks, mockery, cockery, buggery, colliwobbles, and a wide variety of shenanigans. Viewer discretion is advised. Forewarned is forearmed. Fourwarned is not fourarmed.
