Just for fun....Interesting Paris trivia quiz, I bombed...
I thought it would be fun to take this, apparently I don't know much about Paris because I really bombed a lot of the history stuff. Excited that we'll be there in 4 weeks, history buff or not...

Well that was fun - and not so easy but I liked the "Are you smarter than a Lufthansa pilot?" alot better. You could do it over and over!

I knew Ben Franklin's hairstyle.

It was which movie started in New York and ended in Paris that got me (I'm not a big cinema fan), also 11 of 12.
