QUIZ RECAP

As the day where families sit around a table to devour a bird too fat to fly away from the hands of the grocery store industry, it seemed only appropriate that this week's DRINKING ROUND CHALLENGE involved a True or False game centered around your racist uncle's favorite holiday: Thanksgiving.

Armed with two little sheets of paper (for TRUE and FALSE, respectively) players had to decide whether a statement was... well, true or false. They learned that only wild turkeys can fly. That Canada does indeed also celebrate Thanksgiving - but they had theirs way back in October (seriously, doesn't October feel like a lifetime ago?) We learned that contrary to what they taught us in our elementary school social studies class, the first Thanksgiving did NOT take place at Plymouth Rock. Macy's was not the first department store to host a big parade and - interestingly enough - turkeys can not pull a full Exorcist but can only turn their head 270 degrees. Science!

Lots of new (some may say "useless" facts... I wouldn't) information to be gleaned tonight here at trivia where you're always learning... and sometimes winning money all because of these (some may say "useless" facts... I wouldn't) great little factoids!
