7. Where is John
a) Dead
b) Tied up in a fans basement

d) In the studio recording a new solo album
(Correct answer: C)
or E) at the new Scores Gentleman's club in NYC :)
good idea, niek, lol yeah im getting annoyed by them too, as well... and i am not one of them, i re-registered because my pc lost cookies, so i lost my password :P
Wonderful idea, one suggestion, lets make everyone re-apply for membership now and take the test, cause I'm pretty sure Dark will stumble at a couple of hurdles.
...but QZ should be for everyone - new & old fans...
There you go... Having said that I still think that some sort of IQ test is essential...:) And I don't believe that much in the first sentence- just wanted to be first:)
Fenderek makes a good point. Some people who join this web site and others are very new fans. On VH1, there was a girl named Spazalrina16 who had become a fan about a week before joinging who had no idea who the band members were. Everyone was very helpful in setting her on the right track.
However, we need a basic skills test.
Like, can you read, can you speak with half-decent grammar, and can you spell in a way that makes things coherent? Especially if English is your first language, we have to offer leeway for those who are learning. I'm going to have to start pulling out what little hair I have soon - y b it kewl 2 talk like u r stoopid?

A:5th September 1995
