Ok, trivia has officially begun! Like I said before, this round is trivia that covers a very broad range of topics but I'm sure you'll see what I mean sooner than later. Here's your first question.


Q: This rare medical condition is a group of over 150 different syndromes. Symptoms can include the inability to grow hair, nails, teeth, and even the absence of sweat glands. What is the condition's name?

Looks like we don't have any players right now, and here I pulled an early round out of my hat for you morning folk. ;)

First one to answer this question correctly begins the round and gets the first point! I'll be checking back periodically, it's a lazy dreary day today and the wife's busy so I've nothing better to do.

I'm no doctor, I hope someone else is here to answer it...

Nice to see the trivia back as well, I'm lucky enough to have stumbled into it.

Ectodermal dysplasia

Good answer!

Next question up in a moment...

Q: When starlet Francis Farmer was arrested for drunk driving, what did she put down as her occupation?

Tick, tock...

cocksucker

Wait a second, just before I posted NE got it! Good job! Very close too...

Next question in a moment.

woohoo!...

Q. Where was the first photograph of a tornado taken?

BTW- I'm now doing a play by play commentary... it's just too early.

Near Howard, South Dakota

Understandable, I really should stick to later rounds, I thought some people would appreciate the early ones but we'll have to change things next time. ;)

Dennis Leary... nice. :)

Dakota??????????

NE gets another one! He's liable to steal this round... where are you Freak? You were doing so well. :)

Next question in a moment...

Q: To develop the duel between Hayley and Jeff in "Hard Candy", screenwriter Brian Nelson says that he drew upon his experience as what?

Stupid storm keeps making me lose my internet connection.

chess player

And Austin sneaks in taking the last question of the round! Good job Austin.

Alright, that ends this phase and we have Austin and Freak joining the contest with one point but they'll have a long way to go to catch up with Neverending who takes 2 of the questions himself. Fill your coffee cups, fix your connections, I'll be back in 5 or less! :)

While you're waiting, fire up http://www.neverendingwonder.com/ and listen to the unique blend put together for us by Neverending.

I'm now playing some horror themed music for your trivial enjoyment...

Ok, here comes your next question... this one's dedicated to my illustrious co-host that will hopefully be joining us later. A busy man he is...

Q: What superheroes did _V_ pick in the "Comic Book Themed Draft (Help Needed)" thread?

1 Marvel Character - Frank Castle aka The Punisher.

1 DC Character - Bruce Wayne aka The Batman.

1 Independent Hero - Witchblade.

And then two others of our choice - Wolverine & Iron Man.

You're fast today... good job!

Q: Detroit Red Wings great Gordie Howe has had his number (9) retired by the Detroit Red Wings, Hartford Whalers, and what AHL team in which he technically never played for?
