2nd place! Not bad for trying to remember old literature.

Hilarious!
Hubby is not even taking the quiz and he is more competitive than me.He's over here ranting (good naturdly of course)about Iff being in first.
Democracy is screwed up because while agreement and compromise make the world better, bitter rivalry is just more fun.
Just to be clear, a Bush supporter complaining that Obama is a 'bad President' is like gargling skunk piss while complaining the dog has farted. --TopsyTurvy

3 questions on Shakespeare of which I only know precious few of his works well.
Why is this quiz so heavily weighted toward british trivia!?
Oscar Wilde would be a favourite of mine for classic english literature.
Of english authors, i'm more into modern authors being alan warner and glen duncan

The question I missed:
What is the name of Nick Carter's famous little brother?
Answer: Aaron
so... who the hell are these guys...?
and why should I be expected to know who they are...?
Nice job!
Nick Carter is from the Backstreet Boys, Aaron Carter was never a member of the band but is a solo artist in his own right.
Note that I'm using artist in it's loosest definition. As this video demonstrates if you don't know the Backstret Boys you don't know music
