With my extended family coming in for the weekend to attend a memorial service, I figured it was as good a time as any to break out the grill and load it up with meat. The first barbecue of the year is like a rite of spring, when you can put winter behind you and go back to enjoying good weather. It's that same feeling you used to get on your birthday as a kid but stopped feeling when you hit 30, The smell of charcoal and smoke and meat grease and seasonings permeates the neighborhood and beats the heck out of the smell of birthday cake anyway. So here's to a new year of smoked meat of all varieties (except squid because who the hell smokes calamari?).

Anyway, take the Quiz and come back and tell us how you did and if you've broken out the barbecue yet this year. 

Don't forget the Easy Quiz!

Good luck, and let me know if you have any issues.

BunchaRubes: There is only 1 S in Daylight Saving Time.

Depends on where you're from.

darinwil: bingethinker: cyberspacedout: bingethinker: The Pi Day question will need some explaining.

I hadn't seen the article, so it took me a while before I remembered from my middle school math classes. Got it right, with a much lower score than necessary for being slow.

I won't give away the answer, so click the link in the results if you give up.

Doh! I guess I've forgotten most of the math I learned.

Does the quiz have variable questions or something? I don't recall having a question about Pi Day.

Each quiztaker gets 11 random questions from a pool of 14 or 15, depending on how many I write.

Sure, it's supposably daylight savings time in some areas because the proper name doesn't matter.

When it was first adopted in the United States in 1918 it was "daylight-saving" with a hyphen.
