BSNYC Wednesday Fun Quiz!

Firstly, I'm pleased to report that I once again managed to complete my morning commute without scraping my legs on any cars, despite the fact that I took the precaution of wearing a pair of designer jeans as recommended by Men's Health. Secondly, I'm sorry to report that if you're lounging Wednesday style I'm about to kill your buzz, because I've prepared a quiz. As always, read the question and click on your answer. If you're right, you'll know it. If you're wrong you'll see a theft victim's touching lament.

Thanks, good luck, and be sure to tip your proctor.
