Chris Zoladz turned me on to this simple gaming site named Sporcle.com. If you plotted my productivity on a line graph before and after the introduction of Sporcle to my life, you’d have what we call a STEEP STEEP DOWNWARD SLOPE.
Sporcle is chock-full of beat-the-clock, fill-in-the-blank games. You can test your skills at everything from [...]
