I got every question right and still I feel stupid for having actually taken the silly test.

Only the fucking History Channel would include questions about rap music in a history quiz.


They have gone totally down the shitter in the last few years.

The questions must be randomized because I didn't have any questions about rap. I do agree the channel has gone downhill though. Too many stupid reality shows and delusional shows about religion and aliens.

There are an awful lot of pop culture questions in there. I hate that. I took the test three times and wound up with questions like, "Who was the den mother of the rat pack?" Are you fucking serious?

This is a terrible way to test knowledge, by the way.

Shirley Maclaine (?) At least Shirl was apparently 'the good time had by all'.--she was one hot chick.


That kind of question belongs in a game of trivial-pursuit-for- baby boomers, not on an alleged history test.


PS I took the test and got 7/10 . It may come as a HUGE surprise to the OP, but there ARE actually over 2 hundred countries besides the US. Hard as may be to believe, they all have a history,most far more than the US.

To be fair,neither do most Aussies about ours. EG in a recent survey, around 80% (including me) could not name our first Prime Minister,so of course they kept using it in the citizenship test.Big Grin

No, not really. Not since 1985 when I was in New York and was complimented on my English. I was miffed, so replied " Why thank you.Pity I can't say the same about yours". Angel Cloud
