Hell is a pretty heavy subject.
So lets keep things light.
The devil has opened a lighter version of hell, and it’s called heck.
What’s it like?
The audio & video in every film is slightly out of sync.
You’ve always got one foot asleep.
Your socks are always slightly damp.
Every YouTube video pauses every 15 seconds for buffering.
There’s never a cool side to your pillow.
Anything that’s annoying but not bad enough for hell will get you a bonus point.

INTERESTING MOMENTS
Cities beginning with M? You know, like Morocco or Madagascar.
When one team couldn’t come up with discus, they said “that heavy frisbee thing”.
When trying to name all six Oktoberfest breweries, one player came up with Budweiser, Heineken, and Asahi, and wound up naming zero correct answers.
And when they didn’t know what Sydney beach was mentioned in the Beach Boys song Surfin’ USA, one team made up lyrics to suit their answer. Which is worth a point.
See you next week.

Darlinghurst trivia is kicking off in a new venue at The Beacham on Oxford Street.
So for anyone in Darlo, Paddington, or anywhere in the Eastern Suburbs, your Monday trivia is sorted.
Get your team together every Monday at 7pm and prepare yourselves for Australia’s most interesting trivia.
We’ve got interesting trivia, we’ve got dinner sorted with a full menu of gourmet bites and pub classics, we’ve got the bar staff all set to keep you satisfied, and we’ve got great prizes to give away.
In short, we have got everything you need to start your week off right.
The Beacham isn’t your average pub, and iQ Trivia isn’t average trivia. So it’s bound to be a great night out if you are into beer and trivia. (And if you’re not, we have no idea why you are still reading.)
If you’re the kind of person who has memorised every Melbourne Cup winner, congratulations. But to be honest, that probably won’t help you. This isn’t an exam. Rather than just spitting out facts, you’ll probably have have to do some lateral thinking. We will ask questions that you won’t see coming. We will ask questions you probably won’t know off the top of your head, but will enjoy arguing about with your friends. The IQ in iQ Trivia stands for interesting questions, and that is what we provide.
As always, we’ve got a homework question to give you an advantage. If you want to be on the e-mail list, just send an e-mail to [email protected] with Beacham in the subject line to be added to our mailing list.
And the Facebook page dedicated to the show will have additional information to help you out.
Book yourselves in for the best trivia in Darlinghurst, Paddington, or anywhere on Oxford Street by calling 9331 2575.
And we will see you at 7:00 every Monday at The Beacham.
You’ve probably been stereotyped at some point in your life.
For your team name this week, we want to know what people consistently get wrong about you.
Yes, I’m Irish. No, I don’t sound like a leprechaun.
I’m 25, not 40. I’m just in terrible shape.
Why can’t I be covered in tattoos and be a kindergarten teacher?
I’m not flirting with you, I just work for tips.
Don’t assume I’m smart because I wear glasses.
I’m not distant & mysterious, I just don’t like you.
Anything that people get wrong about you will get you a bonus point.
Have an interesting week.
Here’s what you may have missed this week at iQ Trivia.

INTERESTING MOMENTS
We asked why MC Hammer was in the news in Australia, and one team guessed that he was the new Premier of Victoria.
You know that Pharrell song? “I have a really big hat” or something like that?
On a bonus question about how long it would take to drive around the equator, we got guessed ranging from 6 to 500.
And one player from Italy hoped we would have an Italian question, right before we asked a question about the Gregorian calendar taking over from the Julian calendar. So two Italians in one question.
What’s older? COVID, or the phrase OK Boomer?
(That is the WHO declaring it to be a pandemic or the popularisation of the phrase?)
