Hey, what's X talking about? What Pandas and Mustangs? There were no such beasties in the test I took. Screwed up on "admiral": made a wild guess, and it was incorrect. Such is life. However, I maintain the TESTERS were wrong on the etymological origin of "trivia"!!! On being told BZZT, You Are Wrong, I looked it up in a Webster's. No etymology given for "trivia", but look at the etymology for 'trivial": "Latin trivialis, of the crosswords, commonplace. trivium place where three roads meet." "Trivium" also means "the lower division of the seven liberal arts", but that is NOT the meaning the word "trivia" is derived from! Bah!
