THE 50/50 CHANCE
Just like a regular TRIVIA TIME question except there are only two possible answers, hence the even odds of getting it right. Ready?
TRUE or FALSE: Eggcorn is edible.
FALSE! Eggcorn is actually a word or phrase that is a seemingly logical alteration of another word or phrase that sounds similar but has been misheard or misinterpreted. Like “Old Wise Tale” instead of “Old Wives’ Tale”.

QUOTE THIS
A famous quote is below. All you have to do is name the speaker and the source. Ready?
“A man either lives life as it happens to him, meets it head-on and licks it, or he turns his back on it and starts to wither away.”
Dr. Boyce of Star Trek, as played by John Hoyt in either the original pilot “The Cage” or its two part presentation during “The Menagerie” in the first season of The Original Series.
