hey!...I had almost forgotten, in 5th grade, I was on a local version of the "Quiz Kids" radio program...mostly, I think, because I was the only one who even raised their hand during tryouts when they asked what US state had the most bordering states. It is Tennesee, and I named 'em ALL.

Also, I once answered a TV quiz program question before it was asked!..The topic was "Famous Battles" and contestants could choose 3 levels of question..more $$$ if you answered 2/1 or 3/1.....so I said (to the TV) "I'll take 2/1 and the answer is Thermopylae." Sure enough, a contestant chose that option, and they asked him.."What Greek battle was fought against the Persians in which.....blah, blah, blah..." .....My wife and kids just stared and asked "how'd you know that?"...my greatest triumph...unfortunately..
