"Abe, you're too tall, man" - Weekly Trivia!

Everything I learned about history, I learned from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and The Colbert Report. OK, and maybe just a smidgen from two years of World Civ. with Mr. Haight.

But I do know a bit about Lincoln, and in fact he is still the tallest President of all-time - a fact that's incredibly freakish when you think about how people were smaller back then. He was also the first President with a beard. Big props to Marty Van B. for some solid chops though.


Nope, the answer this week was that Lincoln was NOT weak and sickly. In fact, he was an accomplished wrestler and considered impressively strong, which might be surprising to some given his lanky frame.

Better luck to the acolytes this week. I haven't given a good geography question in a while, so here it is:

Which of the following Asian countries is landlocked?
  • Laos
  • Bangladesh
  • Pakistan
  • Syria
  • Qatar
