My teammates were all my friends. I proposed "Gizmodo Is Your Online Leader For Tech News And Reviews" as our team name but was coldly ignored.
The amount of wedding trivia is practically endless. Here are a few of the more interesting tidbits of information:
The Bride - “Bride” is an old English word meaning “cook.”
The Wedding - The word “wedding” comes from the Anglo-Saxon word “wed,” referring to the security provided by the groom’s family to the bride’s family upon a betrothal.
Hair Rings - Early Celtic wedding rings were made of hair (their own) woven together by the bride and groom.
The Kiss - In ancient Rome, a kiss was seen as a legal bond that sealed all contracts, not just the marital sort.
Train Length - In the Middle Ages, the length of a bride’s train indicated her rank in court; the longer her train, the closer she was to the King and Queen and the greater her influence.
Evil Spirits - A Danish bride and groom could confound the evil spirits by cross-dressing.
Invitations - Before the invention of the printing press in 1447, weddings were typically announced by means of a town crier; anyone within earshot became part of the celebration.
Sock Tossing - In long-ago England, friends of the groom would take off their socks and throw them; the first to hit the groom’s nose would be the next to be married.
Cutting the Cake - Whoever had their hand on top during the cutting of the cake would rule the household.
Souvenirs - In ancient times, guests would sometimes tear off a piece of the bride’s dress as a good luck souvenir.
Falling Asleep - The newlywed who fell asleep first on the wedding night would be the first of the pair to die.
Over the Threshold – If a bride tripped or stumbled as she entered her new home, it was considered very bad luck; therefore, it became a duty for the groom to carry his bride over the threshold.
Good Luck for the Bride - If a bride married on the same day of the week that the groom was born, she would have good luck.
The Bride’s Bad Luck – Unfortunate was the bride who cooked any of her own wedding supper or looked into a mirror while wearing her complete wedding outfit before her wedding day.
More Good Luck Omens – Rain; tears; ivy and/or myrtle in a wedding bouquet; seeing a rainbow; having the sun shine on the bride; meeting a black cat; meeting a chimney sweep on the wedding day; a spider found in a wedding dress.
Back Luck Omens – Shopping for wedding rings on a Friday; May weddings; tears; seeing a pig, rabbit or lizard running across the road on the wedding day; dropping the ring during the ceremony (whoever dropped it would die first).

Ready for my Monday night trivia quiz. My wife and I compete as a team of two. Teams can actually have up to eight people. Our limited numbers mean that we generally finish in the bottom half. But we have occasional flashes of brilliance.
This week I got a spot prize for knowing the nationality of WW1 spy Mata Hari.

2: ventral/apertural face white.
3: pinkish shell-material deposited in grooves on dorsum.

Sets of OTHER SPECIES:
COMPARISON of egg capsules of Lamellaria perspicua (A), T. monacha (B) and T. arctica (C & D) embedded in compound ascidian.
'A&B' based on drawings and descriptions in Lebour (1931 & 1933) and Fretter & Graham (1962), and photographs by P. Lightfoot.
Capsules of T. arctica are virtually identical with those of T. monacha.
Further information and images of egg capsule of T. arctica, at 21Ta flic.kr/p/D3iJt7 and 21.1Ta flic.kr/p/234LSrM .
Images C & D are close ups from image 21.1Ta flic.kr/p/234LSrM . The neck of the egg capsule is colourless transparent and almost invisible, so the outline has been indicated with dots. In 'C' the ventral pedal gland is inside the part-formed neck shaping the plug that seals the egg chamber until hatching. In 'D' the flexible tip of the ventral pedal gland is forming the flared lip of the funnel-shaped neck.
1: compound ascidian.
2: surface of compound ascidian raised around rim of lid of L. perspicua capsule.
3: buff ova seen through transparent side of recently deposited L. perspicua egg-capsule; eggs become white and capsule expands with age.
4: long neck of T. monacha capsule projects well above surface of ascidian.
5: plug at base of funnel mouth of T. monacha capsule.
6: orange ova (colour reported by Lebour, 1931) seen through transparent side of recently deposited T. monacha egg-capsule. Lebour reported that bright-yellow or orange forms of Diplosoma were preferred and rearing succeeded on it. Orange Botryllus and Trididemnum were also used for egg-laying in captivity, but rearing failed.

Back in October my daughter had to go to Tasmania for a couple of days as part of their university course. We made it into a short family holiday in Hobart.
On Monday nights we usually do trivia at our local club. We didn't like to let that lapse whilst we were away, so we found a local pub doing Monday night trivia and gave it a go there.
We did about as well as we do at home :)
So here is Team 'Couldn't Cut It On The Mainland'
