Tusday Trivia: July 29, 2008

Kooser   
Well bloggers, it’s very hot outside (and a little humid), it’s the middle of the summer, and there are no romantic holidays in sight. Now I don’t know if you lament the fact that only one day a year is targeted towards celebrating love, or if you think that’s really one day too many. If you’re the former than to remedy this I present to you a timeless romantic tradition encapsulated into book form for all the world to enjoy, albeit a little off season. If you’re the latter, then may I propose that you keep reading, as you may find some statistics to at least make you laugh.  From the University of Nebraska Press is,  Valentines, by Ted Kooser is a compilation of all the valentine poems he once sent to women all across the United States, upwards to 2500 at times, these lines (and the sentiment behind them) are sure to melt even the coldest heart. To celebrate this little notion we call Love Tuesday Trivia is going to quiz you on just how it’s practiced, by all mammals….

1.True or False: 73% of Russian women believe they are in love whereas only 61% of Russian men do.
