I really need to quit reading this guys stuff:
Yeah, I’m a schmoe for bragging about a solid B grade, but then I’m not up on the classic 1950s sound clips that define the latter portion of the quiz.

So, the wife and I sat down and identified all the sounds without cheating; that is, anymore than you can cheat on every multiple choice test ever created. The right answer is always there in the choices. Finding it is just engaging in a process of elimination.
…and we did it without breaking a sweat, mind you.

So I either need to quit reading Jay Garmon, our we need to revoke his geeks license. Not knowing the classics? For shame.
Postscript
Both Tech Republic and the She Goddess website that was (weirdly) the quiz location have gone AWOL a few (well, fifteen. But who’s counting?) short years later. The quiz was all the rage back in 2007 and 08, mentioned on dozens of sites to this very day. The quiz itself just doesn’t seem to exist anymore. The internet is just no fun anymore.
