Trivia shows you how much random stuff you know

Event: Mr. Brownstone Trivia Tuesdays When my friend invited me to trivia night, I was expecting a digital screen for the questions and people shouting out answers. We showed up at Mr. Brownstone on Main Street, Vancouver and there was only 1 free table left. Looks like huge groups reserve their table for a fun Tuesday night gathering.  If you're considering going, better call ahead. We signed up with the host, IQ2000, and chose a team name; this in itself was a daunting task for a group of girls. We were given a 5 page booklet, each page represented one round of trivia.  My friend was so excited! IQ2000 started with the theme of the night, World Oceans Day and we were told of the prizes, one prize was signed by David Suzuki but somehow, a bottle of wine gave the most cheers.  All trivia questions were tied to this theme.  In the first 2 rounds, we did alright; in fact, someone in our group knew quite a bit of random stuff!  Round #3 was the music round and we didn't do as well as we thought.  I guess our group was not so well-rounded, as there were songs which we didn't recognize at all..  We were starting to doubt our ability to win the prize. Rounds 4 and 5 of trivia were definitely harder, with questions from geography, history to current events, music of all types and eras, sports, etc.  I think we need some young people, old people, girls and boys to get most of these.  No chance our team was winning the prize.  Even my friend was not so excited anymore. If you 'like' IQ2000 on Facebook, he gives you 2 free answers.  Today's were Pangaea and Seaborgium.  I don't have a clue what either of those is.  Thank God for teammates. When we swapped answers with another table for marking, we realized that some people really do know a lot of random stuff!  They probably won, but we weren't hanging around to find out.   IQ2000 was trying to pump up the crowd by giving away prizes and free drinks to the loudest team, so there's always a chance you'll win something.  But don't blame me if you come out of there thinking you're dumb, 'cause I did!  Event date: Jun 3
