It's been crazy busy here th= is week. I'd tell you more about it but it's also pretty boring! = ; So I'll spare the details. However, I've been very ha= ppy to see how excited many of you are about the upcoming Fark 25 event in = Lexington KY on Oct 12th. I'm especially happy to see more than a few= people saying they've never been to a Fark party but they'll definitely co= me to this one. Once we have some idea about how many people intend t= o make it, we'll start nailing down plans. The good new= s is, there's plenty to do around here in the Fall - I'll make a list of th= ings going on that weekend. Depending on which direction you're trave= ling in from, you may also have some additional options. For example:= -If you are driving up from the south, it looks like Somerset KY is hav= ing something called the Pulaski County Zombie Walk that morning. Wha= t is it? I have no idea, but you should check it out. = -If you come in from Nashville, there's a beer festival in Bardstown. = -If you head over from Louisville, it's Pride Week in Frankfort. &= nbsp; Plenty to see and do - I'll have a comprehensive list for you when= the time draws near. No livestreamthi= s week, life interferes. There's some kind of trial going on= sucking all the air out of the news cycle as well. It's political so= we can't use the material. It's also all fart jokes. Which are= great, but when you mix fart jokes with politics you get... politics. = ; We'll try again next week! ________________________ = End Drew transmission ________________________ Top Interactions = Some of the best interactions from the past week.

On the Quiz itself, = Denjiro came out on top with 960, followed by jbc= rong> in second with 938 and VooDoo_Blonde in third w= ith 929. mrfu32 made fourth with 915, and Aut= oerotic Defenestration rounds out the top five with 896. T= he hardest question on last week's Hard Quiz was about Alfa Romeo and their= new all-electric crossover SUV meant for the European market. Only 28% of = quiztakers knew that after the Italian government objected to the name "Mil= ano" because the vehicle was going to be made in Poland rather than Milan, = Alfa Romeo came up with "Junior" as the name for the EV. There was more to = the decision than throwing a dart at the wall, as Alfa Romeo produced a mod= el of their GT sport coupe called the "Junior" from 1966 to 1977 and so alr= eady owned the name and associated trademarks. The easiest question= on last week's Easy Quiz was about the Ruang volcano that has been eruptin= g for the past week, 91% of quiztakers knew it was on the island of North S= ulawesi in Indonesia. Indonesia is usually a safe bet when it comes to volc= anoes with names you can pronounce, as they have about 130 active volcanoes= , the highest number of any country. (if you can't pronounce it, it's proba= bly in Iceland). The hardest question on last week's Easy Qui= z was about a massive fire in New Mexico. Only 37% of quiztakers knew that = Hampton Farms was the largest producer of roasted in-shell peanuts in the U= S. If you've bought peanuts at a Major League Baseball game, it's probably = been Hampton Farms peanuts. The easiest question on last week= 's Easy Quiz was about the Bay of Pigs invasion 63 years ago. 94% of quizta= kers knew that the CIA armed and trained a bunch of Cuban refugees to take = Cuba back from Fidel Castro, and they launched a failed invasion in 19= 61. It was essentially a proxy war against the Soviet Union who had backed = Castro when he overthrew Fulgencio Batista, the previous dictator who was o= n friendly terms with the US and sent us Desi Arnez to produce half of Amer= ican TV in the 50s and 60s in return for Ernest Hemingway, If you m= issed out last week, now's a great time to [catch up on the Fark Weird News Quiz](3D" now that you= know a few of the answers.
