TRIVIA TODAY - Wednesday, February 6, 2013

Greetings Infomaniacs,

Any fans of the TV show The Walking Dead out there? I caught up on the first two seasons over my break from school, and now I am going to try and catch up on the first half of season 3 before the second half begins this Sunday!

I didn't think I would really get into the show because of the whole zombie thing, but people kept telling me how good it was, so I finally gave in. I borrowed the first season from the library, and quickly became interested in the characters and the plot. Next thing I knew, I had watched the whole season in one night!

Enjoy!
Melissa

*** Weekly Mind-Scrambler ***
I'm pleasing to the eye
A tool for many absent of mind
A tapestry of fickle lies
Blind to even the most pensive spies
I'm often the breeder of fervent lust
But I am by far one you shouldn't trust.
What am I?
