Another Trivia Quiz (I was bored)

[82Rigger]

The subject of this quiz is

Gun Toters of the Old West

You people in the Northeast need to take this quiz and learn something about some other part of the country.

Ya can't spend the rest of your lives guzzling Sam Adams lager and bragging about the Boston Tea Party.

Besides, this quiz is multiple-choice, so ya don't have to THINK a lot. Ya pretty much either KNOW it, or ya DON'T.


Have fun!

Keith.

Pretty easy quiz you say.

Well!

You missed one.

Okay, Mr Preacher-Man...standy by while I create a theology quiz.

In which language do you want to take the quiz... classic Greek or Hebrew?

[82Rigger]

Well, Keith, I guess you're off the hook.

I can only find two quiz questions that are of challenging difficulty...and I can't find the answers to them.

What fun is it to give a quiz if I can't tell if you're right or wrong! :re:

So, I'll just stick to quizzes that are fun for everybody.

I suppose I'll wonder for the rest of my life exactly how many angels can dance on the head of a pin!
