Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 29 January 2017

If you’ve been online over the past couple of weeks you’ve probably hear the term “Alternative Facts.”

This week, for your team name, we want you to come up with some alternative facts of your own.

The Wallabies are undefeated in the Rugby World Cup.

Chocolate is a vegetable.

The Titanic arrived safely.

The Sun goes around the Earth.

Tonight’s Trivia Attendance: 3 million.

2+2=5.

Any team name that makes a mockery of elitist ideas like “objective reality” or “knowing what the hell you’re talking about” will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

New Venue – The Occidental Hotel, Sydney – Tuesdays at 7:00

When work ends on Tuesday, you can either head home, or you can head to Australia’s Most Interesting Trivia and get your fix every Tuesday at the Occidental Hotel next to Wynyard.

We think you can do better.  So this week, if your team name is a suggestion for a number plate slogan, you’ll get a bonus point.

You can come up with one for where you live or for anywhere that takes your fancy.

Canberra – Roundabouts As Far As The Eye Can See

Victoria – The Latte State

Queensland – You Had Better Like State Of Origin

NSW – A Car Is All You’ll Ever Be Able To Afford Here

NSW – The In Bed By Ten State

Any proposed number plate slogan will get you a bonus point.

Interesting Question of the Day – 16 January 2017

If you were standing on boat holding a rock, then threw the rock in the lake and let it sink, would the water level of the lake go up, go down, or would it stay at the same level?  (We’re assuming this is a closed system.  Nothing is flowing into or out of the lake.)
