It's the darkest trivia topic I've ever done.

I was thinking the same thing, Southerman.

I actually wasn't in the zone for doing the quiz but also felt guilty for not doing it, so I actually got most of the questions from another source. Usually I will do a fair bit of research and then phrase the questions.

Consequently I did run with the topic I found.
