You guys two or three or four of you seem to be the Kings of this. I just love trying to get started and to find things on a page or whatnot. Every once in a blue moon I actually will know one; always the best when that happens. I am sooo proud that I generally get one question right per game. srsly I think I'm way too cool now. :headphone:

I read it here (http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap020213.html), but if you have a source that says otherwise, I'll take both answers as correct.

I'd rather not force you into anything, I just wanted to know what was happening. If you wanted to do it though you could see if my fellow trivia whores are interested/available for this weekend.
