In inscription INRI on the cross at the Crucifixion stood for Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, but one team guessed it meant BRB LOL. (Yeah, that works.)

A little while back, one of our hosts overheard the following en route to a show.
“Oh yeah? Well if I’m so racist, why do I like Asian chicks?”
Well guess what random twit, you’ve inspired a whole week of team names at iQ Trivia.
This week we want your team name to be the dumbest thing you’ve overheard in conversation.
“I’ve never left Australia. I just took that trip to Bali last year.”
“The doctor said I need to get more iron, but I don’t want to eat metal.”
“If they keep building high rises, won’t the city tip over?”
“I heard about dinosaurs living millions of years ago, but there’s only been 2018 years.”
“What country is the Great Wall of China in?”
“Where do I put the answer for question 6?” (We’ve ACTUALLY heard this one.)
Anything that is stupid (and preferably unaware of just HOW stupid it is) will get a bonus point.
Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS
A team with a strong Scottish flavour insisted we not read the rest of the Gambler’s Question, because as soon as we mentioned Linlithgow, they knew what the question and answer would be. (They were also unimpressed with our host’s pronunciation of Linlithgow, and let him know it.)
The same team was similarly unimpressed when the host broke a tie on a dilemma question which went against them.
One team derailed a physics question on the number of tennis balls needed to stop the momentum of a charging Novak Djokovic by pointing out you only need to hit him with one, as long as it’s square in the balls. (How many other trivia nights wind up with questions than can be answered by hitting tennis players in sensitive areas?)
Another self declared tennis expert earned the scorn of his teammates for failing on a tennis question.
A team with a rather dark approach to trivia wasn’t sure when Anne Frank was born, but asked if they could answer when she died.
One team mistook Christopher Lee in his iconic role of Dracula for Count Chocula.
And one team rather cleverly argued that the Xenomorph from the Alien franchise is now technically a Disney Princess.
