In the classic world of mid-90s Nickelodeon television, one show that stood above the rest was The Adventures of Pete & Pete. The quirky, surreal life of two brothers, both named Pete, was hilarious, smart and always kept me captivated. How much do you remember about Big Pete, Little Pete and the other unusual elements of Wellsville?
In the United States, Independence Day is always on July 4, but the 13 American holidays and observances in this quiz are held on different dates each year. Your job is to match them with their correct dates by keying the corresponding numbers into the blank slots in the right-hand column. Use the months and the days-of-the-week as helpful clues. Good luck!
That David Brent is refreshingly laid back for a man of such responsibility. How much do you know about season one of the show that spawned Michael Scott, Pam Beasley and Jim Halpert? Let's find out.
Released in 1985, the Garbage Pail Kids were the back alley answer to the too-cute Cabbage Patch Kids dolls. I know I had a stack of them. Did you? Let's see if you remember who's who in this gross-out gallery of great childhood memories.
If you've ever taken to the skies, you probably know that each airport has its own unique code. In this quiz, select the three letter airport code for each city.
Great voice actors can use the same voice to create completely different characters. In this quiz, we've listed three characters for each actor. Two of them are characters voiced by the talent, but one wasn't. Can you figure out which cartoon is the odd one out?
It looks like Blake Griffin will be the first pick in tonight's NBA Draft. If you're looking for something to do between selections, see how many of the last 20 overall #1 picks you can name in 3 minutes. (Just enter the last name.)
The Pontiac name is on its way out next year, so we decided to take a look back at the brand's many lines over the last half-century. Nearly 30 different Pontiac models have hit American highways since 1960, and you have 10 minutes to name as many of them as you can. (We've left out most of the package names, as well as numbered vehicles such as the J2000 and the G5, just to be fair.) We feel that 10 correct is a good score. Can you do better?
NOTE: Capitalization doesn't count, but spelling and spacing do. The clock begins when you key in your first entry. Good luck!
Sure, you're proud of all those famous books on your bookshelf - but how many of them have you read? Let's find out. In this quiz, we'll show you a vertical strip xeroxed from the text. We want you, using the font and the out-of-context words you can discern, to tell us what the book is.
(And a side note before we begin: we can't claim credit for this idea. Lit Slits debuted in January 1993 at Williams College's semi-annual Trivia Contest. Special thanks to Des and Daniel for their assistance).
My daughter Charlotte is a huge fan of Mo Willems, especially his 'Pigeon' series. Well, I guess it's my wife and I who are the huge fans, since Charlotte's not yet one and generally tolerant of whatever we read her. But if you can't get enough Mo, let's see if you can name all six books starring the Pigeon in three minutes.
The setting for a television show is almost as important as the main characters. The moment you saw the Cheers bar or Jerry Seinfeld's living room, the familiar feeling instantly came back. The interiors of the classic shows are all pretty recognizable, but what about the exterior shots? See if you can match these television houses to the series they were in.
In honor of Father's Day, today's quiz salutes the less-famous dads of notable juniors. Cuba Gooding, Sr., this one's for you!
With a good gimmick and some grappling skills, a wrestler can enjoy a decades-long career in the ring. (Just ask Ric Flair or Hulk Hogan.) With a terrible gimmick, though, even a rising star can crash and burn. Lots of top wrestlers have struggled through horrible gimmicks before hitting it big. How well do you know these conceptual nightmares?
When you're at a bar, don't you just wish you could be as smooth as leading men in the movies? They seem to be any to use any corny line and get the girl. In this quiz, we've got ten cinematic pick-up lines. Can you match the line to the actor who said it? Feel free to borrow any of them.
There is one actor that said two of these lines, but it was used again (and arguably better) by someone else in the quiz. There's only one right match for each lines.
The object of this quiz is to determine whether or not these signs COULD be real. If the states do border and such a sign might be seen, then it's POSSIBLE. If the states do not border and you'd never come across a sign like this, it would be IMPOSSIBLE. It's a tough quiz, but try it without a map. Good luck!
