5 outta 12, and 206 UFOs (Unidentified Flat Oval-things). This time I knew all 5 of my right answers, and all 7 of my guesses were wrong... :shrug

5 lucky guesses + three I had some idea of = 8 right out of 12 and 379 gold thingies. Not a bad week.

Remember what I said about last week's quiz?
8/12 and 363 bottlecaps.
Not only did I whup up on their culture writer (sorry, lady), I am also above average.
But then, I always knew that..... :nana
"Pride goeth ... before a fall."  .....Prov. 16:18 (KJV)
This week — 5/12, and only 220 little ringy-dingys.  Image

In the original it said: "Pride cometh after kicking some Philistine ass."

Which makes more sense.

But then there was that Israeli-Philistine trade agreement so they had to change it.

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Most people know it only as the five word 'pride goeth before a fall' adage, which is why I truncated it and properly used the ellipsis.

Ha! I had 274 Caucasian pastilles so I suck slightly less

12/12 and 522 car wash tokens.

I'll accept my score even though most of my answers were extremely highly perceptive guesses that only a person of superior intelligence would choose.
