Topix en-us 240 Copyright 2019, Topix Topix QUIZ: Can You Guess Every One Of These NFL Logos? How well do YOU know NFL logos past and present? American football: the sport of gigantic burly dudes thwacking the everloving bejesus out of one another while the crowd cheers enthusiastically and waves around a towel because it's Pittsburgh, so of course they are. The NFL has a long, storied history dating to way back before even the Super Bowl (now a treasured American institution) was a thing. It's not surprising, then, that there are plenty of teams to go around, most of which still exist (and, unlike a lot of sports, most of which are even still in their original locations) today. Every team, meanwhile, has to have a logo; how else would their fans know who to root for? OK, unless you're a Cleveland Browns fan, then you just pick the team that looks hopelessly dejected and where the fans look like they're stuck in an elevator where someone just let loose a horrendous fart. But for everyone else, you gotta have that logo! They've also changed like crazy over time; the logos we see today often bear no resemblance whatsoever to the logos these teams historically sported (some of which are so goofy you can immediately tell WHY these teams don't use them any more). Everyone loves professional football, but how much do you really know about the teams that make up the NFL? How many of their logos can you name? Take our quiz and find out. Mon, 04 Feb 2019 18:59:30 GMTColin Pinkham /quiz/17780 Quiz: Can We Guess Your Education Level By Your Biblical Knowledge? Are you biblically educated? Despite the fact that the main religion in the United States is Christianity, most people don't actually know much about the Bible. Whether or not you believe The Bible is literal, one cannot understate its significance to our culture. This famous book compilation has stories present in three of the world's major religions: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. For many, it's the direct Word of God! And one of the best things about the Bible is the rich stories that were told. Everyone should have some basic awareness of what these stories are, and why the Bible means so much to so many people all around the globe. <br><br> So in this educational quiz about the Bible, we asked questions about some of the obvious choices, like Abraham and Jesus and Mary. However, we also had a few questions about things you might not recall. Do you know who Lydia in the New Testament is? You should! The great thing about this quiz is that it's fun, educational, and helps you be aware of the things in the Bible you may have forgotten. <br><br> If you grew up going to Sunday School and church, this quiz should be easy-peasy... right? Learning stories from the Bible might have been a part of your daily life! So, without further ado, here is our Biblical figures quiz. Hopefully you haven't forgotten them all! Do you? Prove it... and maybe we can guess your education level on top of it. Thu, 12 Sep 2019 02:08:50 GMTJennifer Martin /quiz/18829 QUIZ: Can We Guess Your Education Level Based On The History You Know? How well do YOU know the past? There's a reason we all learn quite a lot about history in school. After all, those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it -- at least, that's how the saying goes. Ever since man has done anything, there has been someone nearby going "huh, maybe I should write this down" (well, after we invented writing, of course, which is its own historical subject). We are fascinated by history, though it must be said that caveats apply -- after all, history IS told by the victor. We do not even necessarily know if the things we think are true about history even are -- which, let's be honest, is half the fun of it. Sure, we can all (or we should be able to) agree on a few historical truths, like that it wasn't cool that it used to be legal to own people and that the Third Reich was very bad, but on other subjects, we need to cast a more critical eye. How about you? Will your history knowledge doom you, or make you a genius among your friends and family? You'll probably fail -- most people do, because they aren't nearly as smart as they think they are. But hey, give it a shot, if you think you can prove us wrong. Take our history quiz and find out if you're a PhD or someone who got held back a double digit number of times in the 4th grade!

We literally use "a day on the beach" to describe something that is fun, carefree, and enjoyable. If you're on the beach, you're probably not working (unless you're a lifeguard, or maybe a beach patrol officer). If you're on the beach, you're probably taking some time out of your normal day to spend some time relaxing. If you're at the beach, you're probably having a nice picnic, maybe you're playing a little volleyball, you might even have a few brews. It's literally one of the best places you can be! You can eat ice cream and get some sun, two things that everyone needs once in a while. Sometimes a fun day like this can get out of hand, though. And the beach is a public place. Sometimes, people do wild things in public. Maybe they got a little too much sun, or they had a few too many Mai Tais at a beachside tiki hut. We don't know what was going on in these people's lives on the day these photos were taken, but we can guarantee one thing: they are amazing. These hilarious photos of intense people from the beach are going to make you laugh right out loud. Mon, 27 Aug 2018 22:03:33 GMTJennifer Martin /slideshow/19590 QUIZ: Can You Identify These Famous Historical Figures? How Many Of These Can You Identify? Human history is old -- like, really, really old. Literally thousands of years old. That may not be all that long on a geological or evolutionary scale, but considering people usually don't even make it into triple digits age-wise (or past 60, if you have an understandable love of deep-fried bacon twinkies), it's pretty long for us. Given that so many things have happened, it stands to reason that there would be no shortage of legendary, recognizable historical figures. But do you know what Albert Einstein, the creator of the Theory of General Relativity, looked like? How about Abraham Lincoln, the president who issued the Emancipation Proclamation? Or Queen Victoria, the long-reigning British monarch so famous an entire era is named after her? Or Thomas Edison, the Wizard of Menlo Park? How about Charles Darwin, who came up with the theory of natural selection and jumpstarted evolutionary theory in the process? <br><br> Only 1 in 50 people can correctly name all of these world-changing historical figures. And no, you probably won't even get close to answering all of these correctly. But don't be shy, take the quiz and see how you do! After all, maybe we're wrong and you're actually smart enough to ace this exam. Thu, 12 Sep 2019 15:51:13 GMTColin Pinkham /quiz/17278 QUIZ: Can You Name These American Animals?

She's one half of an American power couple, but how much do you really know about her? Thanks to Chrissy Teigen's past interviews, as well as a Q&A she recently hosted on Twitter, we now have some insight into Teigen's private life. Fri, 20 Dec 2019 19:14:07 GMTevanlambert /slideshow/23190 QUIZ: Can We Guess Your Education Level Based On The American History You Know? What happened in 1776? The United States was officially born in 1776 when our forefathers made a Declaration of Independence. That's right, they were like, "oh hey England, you want us to be your colonies forever? NO THANKS. We are DECLARING our independence from you, King George, and there is NOTHING you can do about it." Since then, Americans have been trying their best to make this country a great one. Have we succeeded? Well, that's debatable. But what we do know is that in our relatively short history of being a country, a LOT has happened. <br><br>We started as just thirteen states along the east coast, but our country now stretches across the whole continent, and even into the ocean! We've explored other parts of the world, gotten into wars with lots of other countries, and had 45 presidents. Things like the telephone and the polio vaccine were invented in America. We're even home to one of the biggest pop stars ever, Beyonce! (Yes, Beyonce is part of American history.) <br><br>Do you know all the important years in U.S. History? What happened in 1863? Do you know who Thurgood Marshall is? How about Robert E. Lee? With this quiz, you'll find out if your American history skills are up to snuff! Fri, 26 Jul 2019 16:01:06 GMTAnna Marquardt /quiz/18963 Can We Guess Your Education Level Based On Your Logic Skills? Only 1 in 100 Americans pass this quiz. Logic is generally defined as being the systematic study of valid inference. If that's a little dry for you, think of it this way -- logic is how we try to make the best possible decisions without the interference of pesky human emotions. Since its inception in Ancient Greece (where it's credited to Aristotle, though many of its tenets can be credited to Aristotle's own influences like Plato and Socrates), some of humanity's greatest minds have sought and struggled to unlock the secrets and intricacies of rational thought. People have revered logic for centuries, from the age of the legendary Greek philosophers, through Renaissance and Enlightenment thinkers like Emmanuel Kant and Friedrich Nietzsche, right up to the modern times (where one of the primary races on <i>Star Trek</i>, the Vulcans, worship and prize logic above all else). Most Americans think they're very logical -- very good at solving problems through reason rather than emotion. But they're wrong. I mean, humanity in general isn't that great at logic, and Americans are, quite frankly, unusually bad at it. The fact is, very few people get over 50% on this quiz. And virtually no one gets every question right! See how you fare. Thu, 05 Sep 2019 22:58:08 GMTTeresa Newsome /quiz/18432 Quiz: How Smart Are You When It Comes To World War II?

Take our quiz and find out! Thu, 12 Sep 2019 15:59:23 GMTColin Pinkham /quiz/16961 27 Hilarious Airport Photos That Got Me. They Got Me So Good. These photos are unreal. If you are on this website, you probably like to travel. And if you like to travel, you have probably been to the airport a time or two. So, you know that being at the airport is pretty much a miserable experience for everyone. Ah, yes. From the overly strict rules at TSA for going through security clearance, to the airplane tickets that are way too expensive, to being boarded onto the plane like cattle, to delays and cancellations that ruin all of your plans... there's almost always something wrong just waiting to happen at the airport. <br><br> But somehow, these hilarious photos make it seem just a bit better... or maybe just a bit worse. We think they are pretty funny, personally, and we've honestly found some of the best photos out there. You will definitely be asking yourself how any of these people made it through security clearance, or you'll be thankful the next time you get on a plane and get to sit by a perfectly normal human being instead of a loon. Either way, these hilarious photos sort of sum up the entire airport experience. Which one of these pictures from the airport is your favorite?

Fri, 03 Jan 2020 19:03:20 GMTjazmin /slideshow/23284 27 Hilarious Walmart Photos That Got Me. They Got Me So Good. Rolling back prices and in laughter. We've all been to Walmart. In fact, if you're from a small town, you might remember THE Walmart as the saddest and only place to shop around town. They're everywhere! But, perhaps, as is normal for the course of human nature... we started noticing similarities among the people at Walmart. A place that has low prices on everything and has most things you could want under one roof is certain to appeal to a broad number of people... good AND bad. There's definitely a special breed of people who show up at Walmart. <br><br> We found a lot of these photos on a website dedicated to fan submissions of people at Walmart, and these are the best submissions we found. It definitely shows the best (or worst) side of Walmart. And the funny thing is that the same sorts of people show up at the stores on a universal level: whether the store is from Arkansas or California, it's still the same ol' Walmart. It's almost the exact same experience all over the country. <br><br> Shopping at Walmart is exhausting, but some of us keep doing it anyway (and some of us have no other choice) and keep going through the same thing each time. It's funny, miserable, and you can't wait to get out of there. But somehow, these hilarious photos make it seem just a bit better... or maybe just a bit worse. Either way, these sort of sum up the entire Walmart experience.

Fri, 13 Sep 2019 20:05:46 GMTColin Pinkham /quiz/19001 Quiz: Can We Guess Your Education Level Based On Your Cat Knowledge? Can you get a purr-fect score? Domestic cats have been part of human society for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, they were revered, sometimes even earning a place beside their human in the afterlife. In Europe during the Middle Ages, they were considered to be evil and were often associated with witches, especially black cats. On farms all over the world, cats are prized for their ability to hunt rodents and keep them from eating the grain on the farm. In the United States, many housecats are the most pampered and beloved creatures ever...and they don't even appreciate it! They get a regular meal, a warm place to sleep, probably some treats...we even pick up their poop and they only occasionally reward us with a snuggle. <br><br>That said, cats are sometimes considered to be quite aloof, but depending on the cat, this couldn't be farther from the truth. Lots of cats LOVE to be near their humans...or even ON their humans. Cats! Aren't they the best? If you love cats, you probably know a lot about them...but are you really, truly a cat person? Can you get a purr-fect score? Most cat owners are pretty darn smart, so if you do well at this cat quiz, we're going to guess you're well-educated. Only the truly cat-knowledgeable will be able to pass this cat quiz, and have a PhD in feline smarts. Tue, 03 Sep 2019 18:13:16 GMTAnna Marquardt /quiz/18496 Quiz: How Many Of These Foods Can You Identify? Do you know ALL of these foods? Human culture has long centered around food: the growing of it, the preparing of it, and of course: the eating of it. Every culture in the world has a different relationship with food. In some places, meals are the time you spend with family or friends, passing long, relaxing hours in the kitchen as you simmer a pot of something delicious on the stove. In other cultures, food is fuel for your body, something you grab and eat on the go. But whatever your relationship to food, there's no question that you need to eat it - everyone does! Some folks are the type who like to cook all their own meals, choosing the ingredients and picking just the right spices. Other people rely on prepared meals to help with their busy lifestyle. There's really no one right way to eat, because everyone's needs are different. And everyone's tastes are different! Some people love a nice, sizzling piece of bacon, while other people are perfectly happy with a chopped salad. Whatever you eat, enjoy it! And whatever someone else eats, let them enjoy it! The only thing you should ever say about someone else's meal choices are "wow, that looks delicious. Can I have the recipe?" If you love food, then this quiz is for you. Are you knowledgeable about both ingredients and prepared foods? Do you know your angel food from your devil's food? Test your skills with this quiz on everything from veggies to dessert. Thu, 29 Aug 2019 14:10:01 GMTAnna Marquardt /quiz/17538 Quiz: Can We Guess Your Education Level From U.S. Landmarks You Know? Do you know these landmark locations? The United States is a pretty large nation - just driving across it from Boston to Los Angeles takes two solid days of driving (not counting stopping for Taaco Bell). And all across the nation, there are remarkable things to see. The United States is home to over 2,500 designated U.S. landmarks, so if you took one day to visit each one, it would take you almost seven years to see them all! That's a lot of ground to cover. Some of these landmarks are a building where something historic happened, like The Alamo in San Antonio, where the Battle of the Alamo happened in 1836. Some of them are natural formations, like Utah's Desolation Canyon, located on the Green River. Still others are human-made structures like the Brooklyn Bridge, which was completed in 1883, making it the first steel-wire suspension bridge in the world. You probably know where the Brooklyn Bridge is, but where is the Golden Gate Bridge? What about the Washington Monument? If you know where they all are, you're probably pretty well-educated. Can we guess how much schooling you've had? See how we do! Tue, 03 Sep 2019 15:31:53 GMTAnna Marquardt /quiz/18804 Quiz: Can You Finish These 1960s Song Titles? The Wind Cries... Phyllis? As Baby Boomers will doubtless agree, the 1960s were an incredible time for music, with hundreds of memorable hits recorded. There's a reason oldies stations are so incredibly thrilled with the '60s above all other decades. And it wasn't just The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Remember the Dave Clark Five? The Jackson 5? Janis Joplin? Creedence Clearwater Revival? The Doors? Really, all of those names put together are just scratching the surface. And every one of those bands has at least one memorable hit from the decade, with plenty having a lot more than one. Heck, in the case of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, there are dozens of those songs. We could make quizzes just from a few of these bands' hits alone, let alone all of the put together. But how many of those song titles do you know by heart? Can you finish every one of these titles when given partial names? What does the wind cry? What are these boots made for? A whiter shade of what? Bad what rising? You probably won't do all that well; most people don't. So are you better than we think you are? Take our quiz and find out! Fri, 13 Sep 2019 20:04:32 GMTColin Pinkham /quiz/19507 How Many U.S. States Can You Identify On A Blank Map? Wait, where&#39;s Idaho? The United States has 50 states - which we hope you already knew! The borders and names of these states have changed over time - for example, West Virginia was indeed once part of Virginia. And the reason there is a North Dakota and a South Dakota is that Congressional Republicans were looking to increase their numbers. Some states we had back in the day don't even exist anymore - did you know there was once a state named Franklin? It was located in what is now Tennessee and it was named for Benjamin Franklin. At this point, though, we've pretty much settled into the borders of the 48 contiguous states for a while now, so most U.S. residents should have a fairly good handle on what state is where. But the truth is that lots of us don't!<br><br> You probably know where YOUR state is, and the states surrounding it, but when you get farther you know what all those states are? Can you remember whether Kansas or Nebraska is farther north? What about Washington and Oregon? And is that Alabama or Mississippi? Test your geography skills with this quiz! Most people don't get 100% - so if you do that well, you must be REALLY good. Tue, 03 Sep 2019 20:22:14 GMTAnna Marquardt /quiz/19601
