Correspondguy has been a FunTrivia author since Aug 24 09 and has written 18 quizzes. Correspondguy writes for many different categories, but is most active in General Knowledge, History, and Movies, and has won 3 Editor's Choice awards on submitted quizzes.

  • has earned 3,074 excellent quiz ratings from quiz takers.

Bio: Correspondguy has studied history, law, and has one of those trick memories where he remembers useless facts better than today's date, making him a trivia force to be reckoned with. Having accumulated a range of badges due more to luck than skill (he was as shocked as anyone to win some of them), he now focuses on writing quizzes rather than taking them, striving to rack up as many Editor's Choice awards as possible. He lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with his wife, their daughter, a pug, and two cats, one of whom distrusts his motives.

If you're interested in being alerted when a new Correspondguy quiz goes up, check out my Facebook page or follow on Twitter. Hopefully, I can limit the content to Fun Trivia-related things.
Hobbies: Playing with my daughter, writing Author Challenge trivia quizzes, watching the History Channel, and random games.

  Movies for Sadists   popular trivia quiz

I'm convinced that some of the people who decide to release the movies hate audiences and wish to see us suffer. Warning: The movies discussed are toxic, and therefore some of the questions require knowledge outside the movie itself.
