    huh, 8/12. Pretty good for having to guess most of them I suppose.

    My bohemian parents decided to let my sister (born 1972) and I (born 1970) choose our own middle-names. How lame is it that neither of us followed through and chose middle-names?

    My wife is from a country/culture where EVERYBODY has a given name and a formal “nickname” with which they are associated for the rest our our lives. Perhaps coincidentally, my wife is one of the only people from her country that any of us has ever met that doesn’t have a formal nickname. She’s always gone by her complete first name.

    I failed abysmally.
    4/12
    I got James K. Polk
    Susan B. Anthony
    Richard M. Nixon
    and Homer J. Simpson

    only reason I knew Polk was because my family is descended from him, and it’s my grandparent’s last name.

    Who is Mary J Blige?

    7 out of 12. The Internet is making me stupid, though.
