Whoa! Its almost a year since I've answered this thread, and all I can say is that friends never hold grudges nor do they argue with one another. Two years since school has finished, and we are still a very close supporting group of friends.

I thought this was appropriate.
You don't actually have to take the quiz. Just read straight
through, and you'll get the point (an awesome one) that he is trying to
make!
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisemann trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America contest.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and
actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.
How did you do?
The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.
These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields.
But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten.
Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.
Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through life.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
6. Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you.
Easier?
The lesson:
The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with
the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the
ones that care.
Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life.
Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already
tomorrow in Australia.

2 out of 6.
(World series one is freaking easy! You kidding me? You dont remember who wins the championships, you cant be a fan). And Heisman Trophy...that was harder, but I scraped through. Sports forever baby!
I could name the last 30 Winston Cup champions if you want me to.
(Hell...I could name the last 10 Rookies of the year in Winston Cup racing)

2 out of 6. About the same....Number 3 and number 5 were the only 2 I could answer....
I assume Im the anomoly to this quiz. I get your point, but I dont follow the general implied rule.

I like it Scayde, Tyb is just silly.
But seriously, the test does have a good point.
I can't say it any better than as mentioned before by Scayde:

Nice one.
