An Unexpected Journey

October 19, 2012

Are you like me and think that you’re going to go batty waiting for December 14 and the first Hobbit installment? Well, have no fear...Sporcle is here! Sporcle.com (Mentally Stimulating Diversions) is a website that offers thousands of quizzes and trivia questions for those looking to waste a few hours on the Internet.

In order to get your Middle Earth fix and brush up on your LOTR trivia, try a splendiferous quiz from Sporcle. Once you’ve mastered one, peruse their other Lord of the Rings quizzes, and test your mental acuity against some tough, and I do mean tough, games. Literature, entertainment, religion, sports...they’re all available for trivia lovers’ pleasure! There’s even an app for your iPhone, Android, and other iOS devices for those who are on the go and need their daily dose of brain games.

So if you think you are the absolute trivia king (or queen) and that you could dominate on Jeopardy (don’t say you don’t think that, ‘cause I know that you do), then sign up to be a member, post your own quiz, and enlighten the world with your perspicacity.

However, a word of warning: This site is incredibly addictive. I will not be held responsible if you suddenly find that you have spent your whole afternoon deep in the digital recesses of my new favorite website...Sporcle.
