I Hear the Consonant of North America is a great place for a TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today's trivia quiz is brought to you by the National Council of Teachers of English (why isn't it just the National Council of English teachers?).

What are the only two words in the English language that contain all the vowels, including "y", in alphabetical order? And no, the alphabet song word that Big Bird used to sing does NOT count! :)

Bonus points if you can even name all the vowels in the English language. Good luck!

Mom always said to eat your TRIVIA QUIZZES

Today's trivia quiz is brought to you by laziness. Laziness: it's what keeps me from updating regularly!

Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year. What are the only two perennial vegetables?

Bonus points for naming my least favorite vegetables. Good luck!

Sounds like it's time for everybody to just move to Seattle!
