Quiz Time! – Random Pop Culture

Posted by Chris Bovenzi | September 29, 2010

Editors Note: We’re sorry, but this quiz is now closed. Congratulations to our winner Thomas Van Etten, who got a perfect score (minus two technicalities), plus the bonus. For his troubles Tom wins a PPFC t-shirt (whenever we get around to making them), and will forever be known as the man who won the inaugural PPFC quiz. Well done, Tom!

For anyone who cares, you can find the official answers (according to Bo) beneath each question.

Knowledge is power.

We at the PPFC believe in educating yourself. This is the first of many quizzes we’ll randomly throw at you guys. This is a closed book test, so no cheating. Anybody that is believed to have cheated will be tortured beyond belief. I’m serious. Good luck!
