For those of you not familiar with Sporcle.com, its a fairly addictive website. So here's the game.

First person picks a quiz and posts the link.

24 hours to get a score. (honor system, one try at it, no looking stuff up online or otherwise)
Post your score (or if you get 100%, then your time)

The winner of the day's post picks the next quiz (From a DIFFERENT category) and is not eligible to win the next days (though they can still participate)

If 24 hours goes by with no new topic from the previous winner, anyone may pick the quiz.

Today's Quiz:

11/20. It was actually 9 but I couldn't spell
Spoiler:
Quixote
and also I entered "
Spoiler:
Mockingbird
" and didn't accept that.

I don't read books though so I'll do badly on any book-related quizes.

I got all 30, but my time was too low.... 0:18 left on the clock when I finished.

Spoiler:
It was "quiz" that took me so long.... I read the clue as "talking" not "taking"
