Sporcle.com -There are a bunch of trivia games that time you to see how many presidents you can name, how many states, capitols, etc.

Oops. Yes, it's sporcle, not sprocle. I just named all 18 Duggar kids in 1 minute and 17 seconds. Hahaha

That's impressive! I guess it's a little bit easier cause they all start with J but...still!

I couldn't remember all of the Gosselin kids' names the other day, and it was driving me nuts! You know when you can't think of something and it just bugs you? Yeah, like that.

A pox on you, tri deezy for telling me about this site! ;)

BF and I were dueling it out last night until midnight! I fared better on US Capitals than he did, and naturally he did better on all things sports.

Omg finally! I seriously sit in class and list all of them in ABG order as quickly as I can. I'm not used to typing it, so that was kinda weird. I got them all in 1 min 45 seconds. That seems slow...I'll try again later!

ETA: A few commentors on the bottom suggest doing fraternities. Yeah but they have 69 groups!

ETA again: 1 min 24 sec this time! Haha I'm such a loser.

I got them all but lost lots of time b/c I couldn't remember the last one. I finally got it (Pi Beta Phi) with 2:33 to go. I'm going to try again & beat that ridiculous time.

My friend sent me this website with the NPC Quiz ("you're a greek nerd, you'll like this quiz") I was so mad that I couldn't remember Kappa Alpha Theta or Theta Phi Alpha (sorry ladies!) I would be down from the 69 fraternity NIC quiz though!

I would do TERRIBLY with an NIC quiz. There are just too many of them!

I could probably get 25-30 but after that, I'd just start making stuff up.

Cool site. Plenty of ways to waste time, games and whatever, but it pays

They made a fraternity version of the quiz:

http://www.sporcle.com/games/BigRed/fraternity

It's far from complete (I don't think the sporcle people have approved it yet), for example they forgot Beta Theta Pi. I think I typed Beta in about three times before I gave up on it being there. I got about 25, and then I started cheating :o

I found the site years ago and it is such a huge addiction. I love all the Geography ones. Learning to spell Kyrgyzstan was fun lol.
