Is it really Thursday again? Fifteen questions of varying degrees of difficulty, topicality, and downright silliness await you. Along the way there may be some jokes, some political mischief, and even the quiz master’s miniature dachshund. You can score bonus points in the comments by being funny, or if you spot anything related to Doctor Who. However, you can get points taken off for smugly pointing out something which had already been mentioned in the answer text, which you clearly hadn’t read. Several people did just that on last week’s quiz, in a question about the song Wagon Wheel. Tut tut. Very naughty. Don’t do it again.
