Isn't it funny how people keep posting stuff even though they get GPs deducted for their posts?

IntroAll right guys, since this thread was going nowhere fast, I decided to grab this beast by the horns and take control (special thanks to No. Justno & Channel28). I'm officially running the GP-Rewarding Quiz, as of now, with help from Channel28 since I can't award GPs. Hopefully this thread won't run into the ground again like it did previously and will actually be a source of fun and good GP amounts. With that being said, lets move onto the rules.RulesDon'ts-Spam, Channel28 will have your ass. Also, it makes the quiz less fun and makes the questions harder to find. -Post off topic, don't answer a question that was answered three weeks ago, stay up to date.-Plagiarize, I'm not saying that you can't use resources other than your brains, but I want to know what you got out of that source, not what Wiki thinks.-Complain if you don't get the GPs. Either you were wrong, broke a rule, or someone one-upped you (although you will receive a small amount of GPs if you were one-upped.)Dos-Read the forum rules if you haven't already.-Always try to add a very informative description, the more you know/have learned, the better it is for you.-Tell me when you post with another account (say, your brother's) so Channel28 can award the GPs to the rightful winner.-Have fun!Basics-There is no specific topic concerning the questions. Think of this quiz as the potpourri section. -Each correctly answered question will be worth 50 GPs.-There will be bonus questions that can act as multipliers to the main question, or they may simply add a few more GPs. -If you can successfully provide more information and/or elaborate on a previous answer of a person(s) the GPs will be split with more being awarded to you.-If you can correct a person's answer, you'll be awarded a few bonus GPsConclusionWhile I might have made this quiz seem somewhat strict, don't fret. As long as you don't post way out of line, or do something to derail this thread, actions won't be taken against you. The purpose of this quiz is to have fun and to earn GPs, but there is another benefit along with it as well. Every time you go out of your way to research something for a question, even for a little time, you have just learned something. Think of this quiz as a competitive learning experience win Roms in the prize package. With that being said, good luck!Question #1Which rapper announced that he would be remixing his Sophomore album with the electro house group Justice?

You're actually quite close, but no cigar. Here's a big hint: Cee-Lo actually performed with the artist I'm speaking of at Lollapalooza during the summer of '08.P.S. I was there. Chicago ftw!P.P.S It's the rapper's sophomore album, his second. It's actually a somewhat recent release.Answer : Stage Name : Cee-Lo GreenReal Name : Thomas DeCarlo Callaway

Yes! He's my favorite rapper as of now, he apparently plans on remixing The Cool with Justice. Since I love both groups, I simply cannot wait for it to come out. 50 GPs to you!ScoreboardTyphoonMaster: 1 QuestionWe have a leader! For future reference, each point the user is rewarded is just to keep track. Most questions answered are worth 50 GPs, but some can be worth more. Question #2Thanatos is the god of what?I think it's Lupe Fiasco. (I like his previous album, hope his new one will be awesome
)

In Greek mythology, Thánatos (in Greek, Θάνατος – "Death") was the daemon personification of Death. He was a minor figure in Greek mythology, often referred to but rarely appearing in person. His name is transliterated in Latin as Thanatus, but his Roman equivalent is Mors or Letus/Letum, and he is sometimes identified erroneously with Orcus (Orcus himself had a Greek equivalent in the form of Horkos, God of the Oath).

I think you're talking about the Siemens company, fined 1.6 billion for excessive global bribery to secure large public contracts for things like urban subway projects and equipment.Personally, I find the PepsiCo. 1.26 billion loss more interesting, as it was really stupid WHY they lost the money in the first place.
