Snuffle
Not actually a sick day. Called off for low census. Timed out pretty well.
Mergh.
Gotta do what you gotta do.
Did the Mental Floss quiz. Very happy to get 100%. Usually I do rather worse, especially with current pop culture. This one had "old" enough questions. Can't seem to pull it up to link to, though. Tried right after, and it can't find the page again. I did notice the graphics were a bit off, so they seem to have an official Glitch.
1. Which of the following cartoon characters had a sidekick named "Rags"?
YOU ANSWERED: A (Crusader Rabbit)
(Got this one by the process of elimination, knew all the rest, didn't even know of a Crusader Rabbit.)
2. What color is Raggedy Ann's nose on the classic doll?
YOU ANSWERED: B (Red)
(Had one.)
3. What venerable actor played the police commissioner in the 1981 film Ragtime?
YOU ANSWERED: B (James Cagney)
(Saw the movie on it's first run.)
4. Which of the following writers was famous for his "rags to riches" juvenile novels?
YOU ANSWERED: D (Horatio Alger Jr.)
(Bit of an Anglophile.)
5. What band's Seven and the Ragged Tiger album featured the number one hit "The Reflex"?
YOU ANSWERED: C (Duran Duran)
(Not a favorite band, but hard not to know this, given my age.)

I would only have been able to answer #5.
Phil,
You are a bit younger than I am. Also, Crusader Rabbit is older than both of us. One of the first attempts at animation for TV. I figured it for something very new.
