On Theme Rounds - Trivia Tonight.



I sometimes talk about the theme rounds at the weekly show.
Some weeks the connecting thread is . . . weak.


Other weeks we have this masterpiece of question writing:
  •  TECHNOLOGY - Only available from Verizon, what Motorola phone claims to be the world's first shatterproof phone?  
  • ORGANIZATION - What news organization recently released an undercover report subtly titled “The Dark Side,” claiming that several big-time athletes doped, including Peyton Manning?  
  • MUSIC - The biggest-selling instrumental musician of the modern era, who has released the albums G Force and Gravity?  
There is a great link here.
The only answer you need to know is that the phone is the Droid Turbo 2.
With that, you can use Droids, Dark Side and Force to easily discover a great theme

Honestly - guess a theme on every third question - hell, EVERY answer.
There's no rule against it

Also - make sure you check the hints.


Of no relevance, I am looking forward to Legends of Tomorrow
Of some relevance, I found an article at that site and one at another that may help you become a legend tonight.
(but probably not.)

Gimme your hands cause you’re wonderful. . . Trivia Tonight 2016-01-12





Other people have written better tributes, so I'll refrain.

I think Jon Rosenberg summed it up best:



If you can't read the embedded tweet, he wrote:
"I think the reason we're all so shocked is that Bowie was supposed to be killed by a supervillain, not cancer."
