Happy 52nd B-Day to my much older bro Sidney Carl Jr.

Trivia results for Thursday February 4th 2010 are as follows: 

The all-powerful Desperate Few pretty much dominated the rest of the pack from Q1 thru Q20 (while weathering the storm created by answer currier Patty Wagon's gaff on question #19) with a grand total of 88 pts. for 1st place. Second place went to come from behind artists, It's the Path, Not the Pizza with 84 pts. Rumour has it they had a middle-aged ringer to round out their youthful brain powered base. Smart thinking if I say so myself.

The wheel came off for team Itchy Petes in the last three questions of the night as they were basically shoe-ins for 1st or 2nd place at question seventeen. Even though, they can hold their heads high with a not too shabby 82 pts. for third. Bringing up the rear with a steady as she goes 74 pts. was Cosmic Dawgs. This was a collaboration between teams Cosmos and Dawgs.

Stumper question(s) of the night: What were Willy Lohman's boys names? and The character Jake Barnes comes from what Hemingway novel?

Biggest come from behind of the night: At question #8, team, It's the Path Not the Pizza were in a distant 7th place, but nailed the last four questions of the night to rocket into 2nd place. Nice work.
