For some reason, Ive been wishing everyone I know a Happy MLK day, so why not extend that to my trivia thread. Happy Martin Luther King Day! (did anyone watch the Boondocks last night, that was funny)
And on a further note, Extremeicon is one point away from 100. And when that happens we have a celebration. And this thread celebrates like no other.
Well, I always wanted to start a trivia thread, so I decided to rip off Pian Rock's thread from News.
Rules Heres how it goes, I post 4 questions, each worth a different amount of points: 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. There is also a bonus point to anyone who can guess the connection between the three answers. You can only answer 1 question at a time plus the bonus question and you can only make one correct answer per set. If by the time I post a new set the bonus question is still in limbo, it goes away...forever. Now every 10 sets there will be a Super Awesome Funky Random Lightning Round. Its pretty self explainitory, answer question get point, but in the this round, you may answer up to five (5) questions each and thats all. Each question is worth 1 point. And lastly, know that these questions will only stay up for about 24 hours (give or take a 24 hours or two). To add to the randomnimity already eminating from this thread, whenever people post the same answer at the same time, not only does everyone get points, everyone gets points x the number of people. There are now four questions in a set, but the leader in points cannot answer the four point question. There is also a bonus five (5) point question in the Lightning Round and an extra bonus at the end of each set worth two (2) points. To expand on the previously mentioned new bonus, it will go into two catergories: the Bonus Bonus, which is somehow connected to the questions (you cannot answer both the Bonus and Bonus Bonus, only one) and an Ultimate Bonus, which everyone can answer and makes no sense whatsoever.
Gasp! Extremicon, I am ashamed, at your sudden disrespect of correct answers. :tongue3: It was later than From Russia with Love. Hurry up and post the correct answer or else we cant have a party next round!

Youre killing me, Extremeicon. I tried to stump everybody with a tough question, but no, of course Extremicon always knows. How did you know that, I figured only a Rangers or Oilers fan would remember.

Well it took quite a bit of digging to find that out (it's not even on his Wikipedia page), but you can find out just about anything if you're bored enough and have the time on your hands to do the digging
