Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
We know, the banner may not look like typical mental_floss (the world-peace-promoting musician Nassiri has kindly funded the challenge). But we assure you the content is pure Sandy and Kara (you know them as the geniuses behind 5 Questions, True Crime, TV-holic, the Daily Brain Game). Take the quiz here, and let us how you did in the comments below.
I didn’t do so well- 50%. But thanks to you I have one of my favorite Christmas song stuck in my head. Thanks mentalfloss!
Ba rum bum bum bum… Peace on Earth…

I scored about 1/2 on the quiz, but have one thing I wanted to mention - The Peace Arch Park which links Washington and Canada is a lovely place to visit; complete with floral flags of both Canada and The United States, and an annual sculpture Exhibition.

Cadinal, the Ambassador Bridge is the one that links Detroit and Windsor.

I can’t believe that no one has commented that the reason the banner looks different than most of your content is because of the uncaught typo when spelling “Septemember”.

The bridge between Detroit and Windsor is the Ambassador bridge.
I forget what the tunnel between same is called, butthe bridge name I remember fersure.
Longest suspended bridge in America; for a long time, the longest in the world.
