I was thinking the same thing, Tielhard. We should print the list out and see just how creative we can be as authors!

Tell you what Ozzz2002, if you can get five more people to agree to write one of these quizzes over the next month I will volunteer to write one as well.

It is difficult to decide which one to write though? "Much Ado About Bricklaying" and the one about plumbing are too boring even for me. I am very tempted by "Tripe--The 'Other White Meat'", it is quite 'ethnic' for the North West. Unfortunately, I spent years looking at the vile stuff along with cow heel and lights on Salford market. It makes me queasy just thinking about it. "Feminine Hygiene Products In Myth and Legend" would take a far braver man than I. If I did the "History of Spam...The Poor Man's Ham" and left out the Vikings the Python Geeks would be after me. So I am left with "Routes to Anywhere in Mainland Britain by Road from Letchworth" and "You ARE What You Eat: The History of Cannibalism". I shall take the Cannibalism.

Incidentally wasn't "Nancy Drew: The Real Story" an adult film of an unsavoury nature?

Tiel, please do the one about Letchworth!

I would love to see someone tackle "Quality Control for tanker truck gangplank manufacturers".

I'm prepared to create one, but I'm torn between "Welsh Quarrying in the 19th Century", "The Wit and Wisdom of Hafez al-Assad", "Middle East 'Stan' Countries FITB" and "Mashed potatoes throughout the ages", but ultimately it comes down to a choice between "The Unbearable Lightness of Being Hosni Mubarak" and "Tel Aviv on the Potomac: The Zionist Cabal at the US State Department" (unless Coolup wants to try the latter )

With Coolupway's permission, I am working on "Carbuncles, Boils and Erysipelas: Pustulous Pestilences!" (seriously!)

Thanks for sharing, MG!

This is hilarious. When I started this thread, I never imagined so many people would respond (with such great topics!), let alone that these quizzes would get made! You guys are right though--these are crying out for quiz makers to bring them to life. Maybe there should be a QL section called 'Quizzes You'd Never Play'. Despite the title's claim, it would probably attract people to these bizarre subjects. As for 'You ARE What You Eat--The History of Cannibalism', please feel free to make it into a quiz! I can't wait to see it!

Just in case anyone was wondering (I'm sure no one was) I'm not really planning on creating "Tel Aviv on the Potomac: The Zionist Cabal at the US State Department". If I were to create such a quiz it would consist of only one question, and the answer would be "No, there isn't".

No, I figured that was a joke....lol. You could make it more challenging by forming the question as a Fill-in-the-Blank, though.

On a serious note, I am looking forward to the tripe and pus quizzes....ewwww

magpie8,

I await your contibution with interest?

I guess I could stretch it to four questions if I tried really hard: one FITB, one yes/no, one true/false, and one multiple choice. Of course it would really just be one question phrased four different ways

BTW, if anyone really is crazy enough to try and create that quiz it's probably me

Thanks Tielhard, but I'm likely better suited to making these lists than actually constructing the quizzes of the same titles. I'm probably too lazy!
