SBR Trivia Contest Wednesday, who's down?

[SBR Lou]

How would you guys like a chance to win some cash, by answering trivia questions in our SBR chat in real time? This will show who really knows their stuff as there won't be much time to google answers.

Any suggestions for categories you'd like to see used?

Be creative, it's YOUR contest...

[Willie Bee]

Maybe some World Series trivia in October.

[Panic]

Not that I would stand a chance because i type slower than molasses in wintertime, but you cant go wrong with football trivia. Maybe Superbowl mvp's, colleges that players were drafted from, ect...

[dwaechte]

[SBR Lou]

Sounds good, wanted to get this up nice and early so everyone has enough notice to have their keysters parked for Wednesdays trivia...

Should I venture to guess you're wanting to see some CFL trivia?

[Mudcat]

I would have to figure out where SBR Chat is, but I have some interest in that. From a selfish perspective, I would like if it had a variety of topics. Obviously you would want some sports - but also general knowledge stuff mixed in. Movies, geography, history, pop culture, science, etc. etc.

From my perspective, I would like as little US college stuff as possible.

Lots and lots of hockey and curling trivia of course.

[fiveteamer]

Can we have a category about hard core sex?

[RogueScholar]

It's properly written as "who's down"

I'm in, I kick trivia's ass. Let's bust with Jeopardy type questions, some world history, foreign languages, literature, etc. Just get one of the list of questions they plug into the trivia bots on IRC and add some sports to it.

If we did that, I'm not sure many of us would know the answers..

That reminds me, all trivia questions must be answered with "Who Is" or "What Is"..

Gibbon provides the answers in his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

"At the decease of Constantine [The Great], the throne of the East was filled by Sapor [Shapur II], son of Hormouz, or Hormisdas, and grandson of Narses, who, after the victory of Galerius, had humbly confessed the superiority of the Roman power. Although Sapor was in the thirtieth year of his long reign, he was still in the vigor of youth, as the date of his accession, by a very strange fatality, had preceded that of his birth. The wife of Hormouz remained pregnant at the time of her husband's death; and the uncertainty of the sex, as well as of the event, excited the ambitious hopes of the princes of the house of Sassan. The apprehensions of civil war were at length removed, by the positive assurance of the Magi, that the widow of Hormouz had conceived, and would safely produce a son. Obedient to the voice of superstition, the Persians prepared, without delay, the ceremony of his coronation. A royal bed, on which the queen lay in state, was exhibited in the midst of the palace; the diadem was placed on the spot, which might be supposed to conceal the future heir of Artaxerxes, and the prostrate satraps adored the majesty of their invisible and insensible sovereign."

Chapter XVIII

"The body of Constantine adorned with the vain symbols of greatness, the purple and diadem, was deposited on a golden bed in one of the apartments of the palace, which for that purpose had been splendidly furnished and illuminated. The forms of the court were strictly maintained. Every day, at the appointed hours, the principal officers of the state, the army, and the household, approaching the person of their sovereign with bended knees and a composed countenance, offered their respectful homage as seriously as if he had been still alive. From motives of policy, this theatrical representation was for some time continued; nor could flattery neglect the opportunity of remarking that Constantine alone, by the peculiar indulgence of Heaven, had reigned after his death."

Chapter XVIII

And so, Shapur ruled before he was born and Constantine after he was dead.

There'll be plenty of time to brush up just in case Roman history (and numerals) are a category...
