Since the people who started posting this quiz and the other one have become total slackers, :P I've decided to take it upon myself to bump them:

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Six short of a perfect score!

7 Day Quiz

Post by RayThom »

"Reality check"... you scored 4 out of 7. I feel so inadequate.

Fun Fact: My cousin Alan's son, Tom, is an Assistant Editor for Coronation Street. Hopefully he'll find a better gig before they unplug the life support equipment.

The image is a quite obsolete US unitorm; I don't know how long it's been since khaki was worn. Anyway, those things on his lower sleeve are longevity of service, I am pretty sure, three years each. Looks like he's got about 8 of them.

I think that picture might have been from "Raiders of the Lost Ark"; the point was only to show the 2 stars, in response to Bill's 5-star general.

(If I could've found a picture of Major General George Meade clearly showing his 2 stars, I would've used that...and that would've been even more obsolete.)

Getting #7 right counts as my best WAG of all time on this quiz...

Not only did I have absolutely no idea what the right answer was, I had never even heard of any of the possible choices...
