Freebird Rule: During the Freebirds' career in the NWA, they won its tag team championship. While holding the title, promoters added a sub-gimmick to the team – "The Freebird Rule" – which allowed any two of the three members of the team to defend the title on any given night. This rule has been re-used by a number of other companies when a three (or more) man team captures a tag-team championship.

I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THESE FUCKING QUESTIONS

Which webcomic featured a gravestone reading that is will be updated tomorrow on November 13th, 2016?
- We didn't even get these questions until the 14th. How the fuck is anyone supposed to be able to answer this since it's a singular thing in the past that is now no longer relevant or happening?

Who were the last two US presidents whose parties also controlled both houses of congress for their entire term?
- This is a really fucking stupid question. Do we mean one term like 4 years? Cuz that's a term. But "entire" term implies 8 years if possible. So that's really misleading and confusing. There are different answers based on what they meant by term. And does it include midterm takeovers or no? What about a President who dies early or resigns early? Did they serve a full "term"?

What set of laws does Flameaxe live by?
- this memeing bullshit where one person gets to know an inside joke is really fucking stupid and not even trivia. so basically if you're in the inner circle and know what i assume is a fucking meme you get a free win here? That doesn't seem ok. it also seems like bullshit phrasing -- i literally do not know what else this could fucking mean other than be some inside joke/meme because the question makes no fucking sense. I could literally answer anything and have a justification for it. "America's Laws". because he's literally in America and under American laws. like fuck this question.

Who gets told to "get on the beanbag"? in the youtube video Gay Movie - A Lower Power - I'm Gay # posted by I'm a gay.
- the video referenced here is a NSFW film with scenes like: a mother getting pleasured with vegetables, nudity, etc. I can't watch this at work. I don't want this shit on my work computer. I also don't think it's fair to force people to watch this shit just to answer a trivia question. I didn't have a problem with the X-Men one. That was a fucking kids cartoon. This is over the top and not acceptable

what if............now wait for it............................ what if there were actual trivia questions?

I can accept shit I just don't know/can't find (like the ice cream favicon thing, real stumper) because it's POSSIBLE to find out if you are dedicated enough

Unclear question phrasing shouldn't be okay
Asking questions about something that happened in the past where there's no way to verify/find out that information shouldn't be okay
Meme/inside joke questions/whatever the fuck the Flameaxe question is shouldn't be okay
Forcing users to watch a terrible NSFW movie with vegetable fucking in it shouldn't be okay (esp if there are any minors playing along?)

Questions unanswered:

Which webcomic featured a gravestone reading that is will be updated tomorrow on November 13th, 2016?
What webcomic with over 2000 comics have an ice cream cone for a favicon?

Another thing I thought of: How many letters are in "CuddlyCaucasian"? <- This doesn't specify unique letters vs total letters. So 15 total letters, 9 unique. Either answer should count.

I don't have the spreadsheet here -- I have it at work. I just took this data and pasted it into a spreadsheet and added it up. Could've miscalculated somewhere.

SOURCE: http://www.harvard.edu/about-harvard/harvard-glance/history-presidency/charles-william-eliot
"retiring as Harvard’s first president emeritus on May 19, the very day of his final confirmation 40 years earlier."
Exactly 40 years to the day.

SOURCE: http://riordan.wikia.com/wiki/Gateway_Arch & http://www.shmoop.com/percy-jackson-lightning-thief/annabeth-chase.html
Says the Gateway Arch is special to her and she insists upon stopping there during one of the books. Google searched really hard for this one and it was the closest thing I could find.

What is the rotation period for the Galilean Satellite with the largest orbital period?
yep, mixed up days & hours on this one

In what year was the 6th highest grossing horror film of all time created, after adjusting for inflation?
Alien

AGAIN THIS QUESTION IS BULLSHIT. WHAT FUCKING COUNTS AS A GODDAMN HORROR FILM? The best source I could find was CNBC's definitely ranking the top grossing horror films adjusted for inflation, and Alien is #6 on their list.

Which models in Runescape 3 have never received a graphical update?
Rune icons

Source on this was literally going into a Runescape chatroom and asking people what hadn't been updated. I was told the rune icons never received an update. I was also told it depends on the definition of "never" because that could mean just RS3 or some other update or does it mean from old Runescape to new Runescape or some fucking bullshit LISTEN WHO REALLY KNOWS THIS MUCH ABOUT RUNESCAPE? GET A FUCKING LIFE. THE QUESTION WAS AWFUL. IF YOU CONFUSE LITERALLY AN ENTIRE CHATROOM FULL OF RUNESCAPE NERDS -- LITERALLY LIVING IN A CHATROOM DEDICATED TO THE GAME -- YOU'RE FUCKING DONE.
