Year End Quiz 2008

Courtesy of Linda at All & Sundry. Some of the questions are a bit silly, but it’s still kind of an interesting way to recap your year and compare to years past. (I just rediscovered this in the draft folder it is unfinished, I added a couple more answers, but I think I'm gonna post it anyway. Seems like a good tradition and you have to start somewhere.)
