monday february 15

today i was watching tv at home when i received a text from my roommate, who was at a local trivia night. the text read as follows: "what stadium was built 5 years after the titanic sunk is still in use today?" my first thought was boston's fenway park, so i hopped on wikipedia to verify its opening date -- i was very committed to helping them cheat. wikipedia informed me, however, that the park opened in 1912, the same year the titanic sank. i looked at a few other parks, but couldn't come up with a decent answer, and felt like i'd failed them as our resident sports expert. later in the night, i found out that the question was actually supposed to read "5 days" instead of "5 years." fenway was the correct answer.
