So you think you know about the United States... • Sure, it's important to know things such as who the first U.S. president was, the branches of the U.S. government, etc. But the things that keep us up at night and drive us crazy at work are questions like "What is the only state that borders only one state?" and "What two instruments did the two Smothers Brothers play (and which played which instrument)?" In The Big Book of American Trivia, veteran trivia master J. Stephen Lang poses over three thousand questions covering such topics as music, entertainment, politics, states, and religion. The questions on the cover are just a sample. Try these others: 1. What has been the most common denominational preference of U.S. presidents? 2. The top sitcom of the 1960s starred a southern comic as a southern sheriff. What was the show? 3. What holiday is the number one day for sales of fresh-cut flowers? 4. What Ivy League school awards the Pulitzer Prizes? 5. Lynchburg, Virginia's Thomas Road Baptist Church is pastored by what noted TV preacher? J. Stephen Lang is a freelance writer and lives in Richmond, Virginia. His favorite game is Trivial Pursuit, and his favorite book is the Bible. He is also the author of The Complete Book of Confederate Trivia. And if you're still wondering about the questions on the cover ... • What cereal was originally called Elijah's Manna? (See page 369) • Where would you see a parade with all biblical floats? (See page 107) • The WAVES were women in which branch of service? (See page 257) • What pro baseball player became one of the world's greatest evangelists? (See page 379) • The most moose are found in which of the forty-eight contiguous states? (See page 5)
