Ventrilo Trivia Night: Mondays 10PM EST

Okay so we talked it over and decided it would be a fun idea if I ran a Ventrilo trivia night.
Everybody will get in one channel and I will ask you trivia questions. You will write down the answers for each of the ten questions in five categories (oh yes, that is indeed 50 total questions) and submit them to me textually at the end of each round. If you are interested in playing, all you have to do is get the Ventrilo program and get it working. You don't need a mic, because nobody will be doing any talking but me anyway.
Let me answer some questions that you might be thinking about asking:
Is it okay to use Google to cheat and get the answers?
No, it's not okay. It's lame and stupid, obviously.
How will you know if someone cheats?
I won't know, and neither will anybody else. We will just use the honor system because there's no other way to do it.
If you cheat then you are a bad person and you will know it. Your shame will weigh on your conscience for many years, and it will taint your family line for yea unto seven generations.
What do you get if you win?
You get to feel cool. There's not really any prize. Personally, I think the most fun thing about doing any trivia game is seeing how many questions I can answer. Which makes it even stupider if you cheat to answer the questions, because where's the fun in that.
What are the categories?
I will tell you the category names now, and if you are clever you will figure out what they mean and do some preparation.
1. That Just Happened!
2. L.M.A.O.
3. Super-Size Me
4. Touched for the Very First Time
5. In the Pipe, Five-by-Five
How will we submit answers?
I'll decide that when I see how many people show up, but I think the best thing would be to have people submit answers at the end of each round so nobody has to wait until the end of the entire game to see how many questions they've answered correctly. If there aren't too many people we can just have the answers submitted by PM, but if there are too many then my PM box won't hold them and maybe we'll have to use email. Which wouldn't be horrible.
Will this be any fun?
Of course it will, unless you are fucking retarded, in which case we would all prefer that you not show up.
How do I get/use Ventrilo?
check the Ventrilo thread in G&T for all necessary information
So that's about it. Show up and have fun. Discuss below.
EDIT: I had to change one of the categories. "Take It To the Bridge" was supposed to be a music piping category where you identified songs based on hearing the bridge section from each one but my laptop is fucking up so I can't pipe. The new category is better anyway.

don't pay attention to my demands... your little game is like a written exam... I've been done with those for 10 years.
I am a jeopardy freak. People don't let me watch the show with them anymore because of my uncanny knowledge of british royal lineage.
kick your ass
yeah, like you can identify a portrait of Charles II within 30 seconds
last I checked, Jeopardy wasn't all about British royalty

There used to be a multiplayer version on the sony site, but that has since flown the coop.
