Quiz # 11: Thanksgiving Quiz
As the DA will be off during the latter half of next week, we thought we'd post the Thanksgiving Quiz today. This quiz is designed to bring cheer and delight (i.e. stress and tumult) to your family during this festive holiday. We're mixing together a variety of topics from history to sports to astronomy. Think of this as being similar to a "Brain of Portland"quiz, only not quite as taxing, or so we hope. Enjoy! See you on Monday,
