Before I get started, I would like to properly Welcome Kristine to our team and I hope she enjoyed it enough to come back and play again when she is in town to visit.
Round 1:

Round 2:
Iraq
Star Wars answer is Greedo :"Han shot first" is a phrase referring to a controversial change made to a scene in Star Wars (1977), in which Han Solo (Harrison Ford) is confronted by the bounty hunter Greedo (Paul Blake) in the Mos Eisley cantina. The change was made for the 1997 Special Edition re-release of "Star Wars", and has since been altered twice more. The phrase "Han shot first" is misleading, as Greedo does not shoot at all in the original version of the 1977 film.
Round 3:
Sports: Sun Valley is famous for it's Skiing
Movies: 1987 Over the top movie was about a trucker who arm wrestles on the side.

One World Trade Center
Willis Tower
Trump Tower Chicago
Empire State Building (which is also the oldest of the 5)
Bank of America tower
We had a perfect score until the half time question. We Didn't think of the Trump tower in chicago, we used Aon Center instead. Which was number 6 on the list of No points for it.
Rapid Round 4:
We only missed the Geography question.
Rapid Round 5:
We talked ourselves out on the correct answer in Literature, it was the 3 Laws of Robotics
The Final Question was History:
What month did the Titanic Sink?
Since Owen isn't here, I'll say it for him: Everyone knows that! It was April 15th of 1912.
As a result of this event, within a year there were new safety rules and the International Ice Patrol was formed.
1st place went to GCC with 91 points
We took 2nd place with 90 points (thanks to having talked ourselves out of one of the correct answers)
3rd place goes to RocketMan
It was a fun night playing at the Boot. See you next time!
