Famously February

by

february quiz art

For a short month, it’s kind of long.

April may be the cruelest month, as Eliot observed, but for me it’s always been February. In my homeland of Montana, February was always the time I’d get thoroughly sick of winter and thoroughly disheartened by the certainty that spring would not start in March.  Here in Florida, which is the opposite of Montana in a whole bunch of ways, I dislike February for another reason: It means pleasantly cool temperatures will soon be coming to an end. And it means I’m another year older.

Anyway, here’s a quiz to mark the passing of the shortest, cruelest month. Hint: It’s more fun if you don’t Google the answers first. It’s a test of trivia, not typing.

    4/10 for me, too. It was fun, though. I got the space shuttle, New Amsterdam, and the music ones. I’m not sure what that says about the quiz, but it says quite a bit about me.

    9/10

    erm… the best picture winner from 2007 wasn’t in the list of nominees you offered.

    No Country for Old Men won in 2007.

      The Departed won for Best Picture at the Academy Awards presented on Feb. 25, 2007. It wasn’t intended to be a trick question, but I can see how you might interpret it that way. No Country For Old Men won the Oscar at the 2008 ceremony.

          Anyway, point taken. Future Oscar questions, if there are any, will be worded more carefully. (And I’ve clarified this one.) You still appear to be the champion for this particular quiz.
