It's Not Easy Being Green
Trivia by Andy Moseley - reprinted with permission from the March 2000 Mariners' Log
It's March, which brings us a little bit of green, thanks to spring and St. Patrick's Day. Seeing that I have secured my spot as the Mariners' Log trivia expert, I thought I should use the green to make this month's trivia a little more exciting. Since it was so successful with the Valentine's trivia last month, I'm ripping off Who Wants to Be a Millionaire again. There are 15 questions, each with four multiple choice answers. You don't actually win money, you don't have Lifelines, and you don't have that cheesy music, but we can still have fun, right?
