Some people are smart. Other people are intelligent. And still other people are somewhere between, cursed with a brain that stores useless facts that are almost never called for. Tonight comes one of those rare occasions when those people get their chance to put their gift -- or curse, depending on the person -- to work and potentially be awarded for their "quirk".
Le Poisson Rouge in the Village is hosting a big live trivia show called "The Big Quiz Thing". This ain't your local bar's trivia night -- they've got multimedia questions, a dazzling stage show, and some serious prizes, including $200 in cash for the winner! Actually, they give prizes to everyone in the top five -- including $50 for the runner up -- concession prizes for those who don't place in the upper echelon of smarties, and even prizes for the folks who come up with funny answers when they can't think of the correct one. I'll bet your neighborhood bar's prize can't top that.
Cover is $10, but that's a pretty good deal considering you're almost guaranteed to win SOMETHING. Doors open at 7pm and the show begins at 7:30. It's first-come, first-served, so bring your smartest buddies and get there early!
Wanna go on a test run to see if your trivia knowledge can compete? Try out some of their questions below:
What is the brand-name for a special crossbred variety of brine shrimp, available at toy stores nationwide?
What's the only NBA team named for an extinct animal?
Put the following actresses in order according to the number of Woody Allen movies they starred in, from the most to the fewest: Mia Farrow, Diane Keaton, Louise Lasser?
Name the TV show: a chef, a florist, a typist.
