got 9 out of 10, thought for sure it was "big hair" that weighted those contestants down. guess I'm used to all of these Texas women and their big hair.
what you talking about... >:( >:(
LOL!!
I got 6 out of ten...missed the Obama (I said 9) missed the space satelite question, mised the Idol question and I didn't hear about the paintings at all..
come on jess, you may not wear the big Texas hairdo over there in the Piney woods but you know what I'm talking about! there are more women here in Texas with big elaborate hairdoes than any other region that I have visited. y'all outside of Texas just thought that Lureen's big bleached hair was just Lureen back in 1983, naw, Ang Lee got it right, just come to Dallas and walk around a mall and look at the women's hair, you'll see what I mean.
10 out of 10, guess talk radio keeps me informed. O0
no sweat, I think I was shaken up about the false reports on Nimoy. thanks for watching carefully!
9/10.
This is the one I missed...
9. Researchers released the results of a massive 32-year survey that focused on human happiness among adults. Which of these age groups did they say were the most content?
I don't even remember hearing about this on the news! :(
7/10. I missed #6, 8 and 9.
Go DAVID!!!

Pretty good, David! It's easier for me to say the ones that I got right. LOL.

((((SHASTA)))))
I can't believe I missed the one about "Unity". I had the correct answer in my mind and then I second guessed myself. I shouldn't have done that. :(
Are you watching Geraldo?
:laugh:
I'm glad we didn't miss #8! ;D That would be embarrassing!
Oh MAN!! I flagged it again. >:(
I only got 4/10, same as the last time!
The ones I answered CORRECTLY were #2, 4, 7 and 10. >:(
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4250964/ (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4250964/)
6/10 Boo.
Missed #'s 3,5,6,9
we must have been watching the same news channel!
:laugh: :laugh: ;)
LOL. Yeah. Except you must have watched the sports part! (#6) :P :D
Hey! It looks like you copied some of my answers! >:(
6/10 >:(
Better than last week though!
I missed 4, 6, 8 and 10
you and me must be watching the same news channel! I am always on ABC...what is yours?
CNN and MSNBC mostly... and the local news I watch is WRTV Channel 6 (ABC).
yep, CNN and KLTV Channel 7 (ABC) for me too! there is our problem....SHASTA!! what station you watching?
Shasta got an 8/10. She's probably watching CBS. Maybe we should switch over? ;)
(you dont think she is watching PBS do you??)
:o :o
HEY! Wait a minute! I like PBS!! >:(
They show the Teletubbies on there! Every day Monday through Friday! ;)
Don't be dissin' the Pee..Bee..Ess Jess! Them's are fightin' words! ;)
5/5 8)
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4250964/ (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4250964/)
7/10 is a good score Jess! :)
Yup. We're getting better at these aren't we?
I've found that on the weeks I read the small ticker down at the bottom of the screen I seem to do better. Some of those questions are taken from those news tickers I think. :)
5/10.
Does it mean I'm an optimist if I say I got half of the questions right? :P 8) ;D
9/10!
:o
How could that happen? I've taken the quiz before, one time with 5/10 and one time with 7/10. But this week - hui.
I had #6 wrong (Michael Bloomberg).
I took a complete guess at the baseball question. How on earth am I supposed to kow? ::) Some of the other questions I chose the answer which made most sense to me, and some I indeed knew ;D.
6/10
missed 2, 6, 8, 9! :P
dang David! go on with your bad self!
I sure thought I did better than that!
That didn't take you very long to take! I just posted it 30 seconds ago! :laugh:
Maybe we were taking the quiz at the same time. You know what they say about great minds! ;)
yep I was!! but I cheated...I looked at "Whos online" to see what you were doing! ;D ;D
Oh okay. Well I guess that explains it then! ???
:-\
:laugh:
{{{{JESS}}}}
You're ALWAYS looking at that "Who's Online"! Every time I look at it, YOU are looking at it! ;)
I am nosey and I admit it!
Well, notice I said "every time I'm looking at it, you're looking at it".
So I guess this means I'm nosey too Jess! It's good to be nosey sometimes though, isn't it? ;)
I can't believe I missed the one on the pyramid...I need to do some googling! I am SO into that stuff!
I got 9/10 and missed the one on the pyramid, too. I said it was for Teti's son instead of wife. :P
Now I know I watch too much cable TV. I just got a 100% correct score on this week's quiz. :P
the foriegn names threw me off. I can't make the connection from what I have heard to seeing them in print.
At least you have your problem pinpointed Jess. I don't know what my problem was because I missed a little bit of everything! :-\
Congratulations Meryl!!! Way to go fellow Brokie!! :D
7 out of 10, not bad not bad!
10 out of 10, guess talk radio keeps me informed. O0
maybe I oughta subscribe to the newspaper...
8)
we got the same score but missed different questions! maybe we should team up!
Maybe we should! Then we'd get them ALL right. But, they might accuse us of cheating.
What do you think Jess? I once got reprimanded in public for scribbling down the answers on my desk during a French test. I don't want to go through something like THAT again! :laugh:
And YES I did it! I was as guilty as hell! *blush*
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4250964/ (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4250964/)
YaY!!!! My first 10/10!
I did guess on 2 of them, but I guessed correctly!!!
Good luck this week!
6/10
I missed #1, 4, 7 and 10. :-\
I didn't watch the news very much this week though. I kept it turned off much of the time.
Congratulations Meryl and Shasta on your 10/10 scores! :D
Sometimes you gotta do that for your health. ;)
Sometimes I get "bad news overload" and turn on "Spongebob Squarepants". ;D
Congratulations Meryl and Shasta on your 10/10 scores! :D
Eww yuck! 4/10. >:(
I missed #1, 2, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
::) ::)
I haven't been watching much news lately though. ;)
Thanks, David! And congrats to Shasta, too!
I got 8 out of 10 this week. Why do those Palin kids have to have such similar names? ;) ;D
Still got 8 out of 10 (missed 6 and 8). I'm not reading that crawl on CNN carefully enough! ;D
8/10
missed 2 and 8
Good job, Meryl! ;) 8/10 is very good!!!
LOL. I thought you weren't going to tell the 2nd one you missed. The 8 just made a face because of the ). ;D
I missed 8 and 9. I saw the story about 9 but I forgot the detail they asked for, but somehow I completely missed the story about 8. And that's too bad. That sounds like a fun story. :D I'll have to look that up.
Gary made me curious, so I looked up the lady's expenses. (She is 36; he is 67--married since 2002)
Douglas-David has filed court papers showing she has more than $53,800 in weekly expenses, including for maintaining a Park Avenue apartment and three residences in **. Her weekly expenses also include $700 for limousine service, $4,500 for clothes, $1,000 for hair and skin treatments, $1,500 for restaurants and entertainment, and $8,000 for travel.
At that rate, Douglas-David would burn through $43 million in less than 16 years.
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I might suggest that she downsize a little if she can't make it on $43 million. (No kids.)
LOL. Well, let's see......
Pare down to one residence instead of 4.
Walk or take a cab instead of the limo.
Wear the same clothes and shoes you bought last week.
(For a WHOLE season---I know -- horrors!!!)
Do your own hair and skin occasionally.
Cook at home except on weekends.
Stay home more -- one or two vacations a year.
Then she should make it on $43 million easy!!! :D ;D
Here is a new news quiz. When I started to take it, I expected to miss a lot since I've slept so much this week (bad cold) -- but I knew them all without even guessing. I musta been awake when those 10 were reported. :P 8)
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4250964/ (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4250964/)
10 of 10.
Good job, David, Jess, and twtplanner!
Way to pay attention!
I failed - got 4/10 - guessed on just about all of them. Maybe I should read the paper instead of doing the puzzles...
Wow, the idea of Chrysler getting bailed out by Fiat....are they in that bad shape. Its a joke among driveway mehanics that FIAT is an acronym for Fix It Again, Tony. Hold on. they made the PT CRuiser. Maybbe "Tony" can teach them a thing or 2 after all...
you didn't tell your score!
Missed the one on David Souters home state, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, I knew it was one of them Uppah Yankee states where the folks talk funny ;D.
6/10
Missed 2, 3, 7, 10.
I'm glad I didn't miss the one about where Kris is from!!! That would be grounds for being exiled from the Natural State!!!! :P 8) :D
9/10
:D :D
I missed #3.
