    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    First entry in from a certain Princess no names no pack drill

    It's fun if you don't know make an educated guess or make something up who knows you may be right after all if you make the Quizmaster giggle you may get an extra 1/2 point .

    You are allowed to ask for help from family and friends provided they don't use t'internet.

    I think most of my answers were ‘educated’ guesses
