Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
When oft-maligned Eli Manning made it to his conference’s championship game while revered older brother Peyton fell to the San Diego Chargers, the younger brother struck a victory for lesser siblings everywhere. These less-celebrated brothers and sisters may still know that their parents are lying when they claim to “love all their children equally,” but there’s a glimmer of hope for the forgotten siblings now that Eli has triumphed.
To see how well you know the Billy Carters, Tim Hasselbecks, and Fredo Corleones of the world, take our quiz.

6 outta 8. I don’t know if that’s good or bad for me!

Little brothers and sisters are good for only one thing: to make the oldest look better, in comparison.
“What happened to your brothers and sisters? Here you are, a paragon of the human species, and they are toady looking”

But, Moon, it’s a known fact that younger siblings are often better looking and much more charming. ;)

50%, but yet again another quiz from Mental Floss where I’m asked to choose the wrong price or false story and am completely confused when I check my answers. The smiling green happy face means yes that was the false story or…uh…I still don’t know.
Are you allergic to a straight-up quiz where it’s readily apparent when you scroll through the answers what the ACTUAL ANSWER is?
