"MentalFloss" news and stories

While I regularly lose my keys, often misplace my wallet, and have been known to forget my own name, I pride myself on my impressive ability to remember completely random facts. My wife calls me the largest repository of useless knowledge in the Western Hemisphere, and I have to admit that my mind is a steel trap, at least when it comes to completely meaningless trivia.

With that in mind, I was eager to take Mental Floss' cereal trivia test. Having spent much of my youth sucking down mass quantities of sugary slop while watching Saturday morning TV shows, I figured that I could easily take whatever Mental Floss had to dish out.

I received a humbling 50%. If you get a chance, take the quiz and let me know how you did. I need to know if there's anybody else out there who's feeling the icy hand of trivial humiliation!

Around here, we're all about taking quizzes (at least I am). I just can't seem to say no to something that wants to test my ability to guess the correct answer, and over the years I've gotten pretty good at it.

Imagine my delight at finding this quiz over at Mental Floss. Technically, it's a lunch time poll, but it's fun at any time of the day. There are ten questions, and you have to guess which of two items has the higher calorie count. I only got 60% right, so I was a little disappointed (some of the questions are a bit tricky). Take it and see how you do. Then come back and let us know your score in the comments section.
