Answer Elvis

[Aaron Adler <cadlerun@>]

Today GSB is combined with the CSAIL Olympics Opening Ceremonies and the 
first Olympic event: Trivial Pursuit. There will also be some **FREE 
FOOD**. Join us as the teams of Cereal Killers begin their face off.

If you haven't signed up yet, quit (or maybe it's start) procrastinating 
and head over to: http://olympics.csail.mit.edu/2008/ and sign up. 
Everyone is encouraged to participate -- grads, undergrads, faculty, staff.

To get everyone in the mood for some Trivial Pursuit, here's the entry 
for "Trivial Pursuit" from the authoritative source, the Oxford English 
Dictionary:

trivial, a.
III. 9. Trivial Pursuit, a proprietary name for a board-game first
marketed in Canada in 1982, in which players advance by correctly
answering general-knowledge questions from one of six subject areas, the
subject being determined by the colour of the space on which a player
lands.

1989 Lit. Rev. Dec. 48/1 The first hint of this being ‘The
Information Decade’ came when my aunt produced ‘Trivial Pursuit’. It
kept us mildly amused for one Boxing Day afternoon; most of the answers
seemed to be Elvis Presley.


Got that? When in doubt, answer "Elvis."

Let the Games begin!
