Super Quiz

[Warpigs]

I love questions that challenge the brain and wanted to see just how intelligent some of our cafe bretheren actually are. Pulling questions from various sources, I wanted to challenge the cafe's smartest to a little quiz. How many of these can you honestly answer without looking too much up? If anyone can answer all questions, you'll earn yourself a gold star for effort!
