Soldier: Oh, God is testing us!
Boris: If He’s gonna test us, why doesn’t He give us a written?
— “Love and Death,” 1975
Another week, another lackluster performance on the Friday Slate News Quiz.
See if you can do better. Remember, it’s timed, which is one thing that keeps my scores down…
I got 456, but I was rocking along until I was interrupted by my job. Why can’t these people leave me alone when I’m goofing off?
People are so inconsiderate. And on a Friday, too… tsk…
I got 404. I blame Harry Potter. Some weeks I just need listen to Jim Dale read Harry Potter instead of listen to NPR. So I got less news this week. Sadly, Order of the Phoenix isn’t much of an escape from reality these days.
451 which was exactly average. Apparently the average is shrinking.
