So, I discovered "Google a Day" on the NY Times site while fiddling with their sudoku puzzles and have done most of them for the month of May. Is it kinda cool or just pitiful that I already knew the answers to five of them without having to search anything? and I've only had to give up searching and reveal the answer twice?

The questions:
Q: A Viking was the first to photograph us, but our existence was foretold in literature by a Swift astronomer. Who are we?
Q: "Four legs good, two legs bad” is a slogan from a story featuring a cast of anthropomorphic characters. What revolution inspired this story?
Q: I was celebrated as the paladin of Uruk, but my legacy is in the realm of ancient literature. Who am I?
Q: The second wife of King Henry VIII is said to haunt the grounds where she was executed. What does she supposedly have tucked under her arm?
Q:The oldest person to sign the Declaration of Independence criticized the national emblem and suggested what as an alternative?



A: Deimos and Phobos, moons of Mars
A: Animal Farm, Bolshevik Revolution
A: Gilgamesh
A: Anne Boleyn, her head
A: Benjamin Franklin, Turkey


So, am I enjoying the benefits of a liberal education or just really white and nerdy?
