Here's an amusing anecdote from trivia night yesterday.

Posted by Baron Zero C (aka BaronWasteland) Jan 22 '17, 08:27

The emcee was in the process of revealing the answers for a round dedicated to authors of books with birds in the title. When he reached "Mockingjay", he revealed the answer to be Stephenie Meyer.

The whole room exploded into table-flipping rage... or the trivia nerd equivalent, which is basically loud and obnoxious, pedantic correction. And it was almost literally the whole room, all 55 tables. The emcee was clearly taken aback. He didn't write the questions or provide the answers; he was just there for his sparkling personality. The organizers of the event quickly performed a google search and corrected the answer to Suzanne Collins which pacified the crowd and kept them from burning the place to the ground.

Good times. Good times.

Well, we all know it's an alt-fact that it was JRR Tolkien, so I can understand the rage.. (NM) - Marlowe Jan 22, 09:02 1
