Fark Weird News Quiz (brought to you by ox45tallboy) A f= un time on the Quiz last week, even though the 1000 club remains empty.&nbs= p;Denjiro came out on top with 964, followed by Evildog in second with 939 and Drachirryz= in third with 924. EBens and poorjon= trong> tied for fourth with 912, and zuffenphile roun= ds out the top five with 908. The hardest question on last week's Ha= rd Quiz was over which Nativity character role in elementary school was cor= related with the highest average salary later in life among Brits. Only 15%= of quiztakers knew that it was actually oxen who had the highest salary. I= 'm pretty sure that this is a case of correlation rather than causation, as= oxen are usually played by tall boys, and tall boys generally become tall = men, who for some reason tend to make more money than women and short men r= egardless of the occupation. The easiest question on the Hard = Quiz was over what kind of critters went on a cocaine bender in the Italian= woods when they happened upon a drug gang's stash. 81% of quiztakers knew = that it was feral hogs the local distributors would be trying to explain to= their bosses about. When asked about the incident later, a feral hog denie= d any affinity for the drug, but did confess to "liking the way it smells".= The hardest question on the Easy Quiz was over which brand was caus= ing a bit of a stir with their "I ❤ GBV" branded items, made to= recognize their Italian designer Giambattista Valli. Only 41% of quiztaker= s knew that it was H&M who employed the designs of Mr. Valli. Gucci fam= ously uses only in-house designers rather than commissioning works such as = those by Mr. Valli, who remains an independent operator. The easiest= question on the Easy Quiz was over the new movie Dr. Sleep and its origins= . 87% of people knew that the book was based on the Stephen King novel of t= he same name, which was a sequel to his classic "The Shining". Fortunately = for the actors involved, Stanley Kubrick wasn't at the helm this time, so t= here will be fewer psychological scars. Also, a lower box office take.
