I have a trivia book on TV Shows... and I thought it may be fun to through out some of the trivia questions just for the heck of it. Next to each question there is (p#)... that can just be ignored... it is just where I am reminding myself of the page numbers so I can check answers. At the bottom of this post I will keep track at how many question each person got right... just for the fun of it.

LOL... and all right... So Karsten takes an early lead of 3.

Doh! I only know one... 

Section 1, question 3: Scully was partnered with Mulder to keep an eye on him and eventually disprove his theories through science and therefore give the FBI grounds to close down Spooky's X-Files.

And that is of course right Jon!

Section 2, Pets
2. I believe it was a fish...wasn't it some kind of black fish?  Are there black goldfish?  I don't remember its name.
3. Jeff Miller (Tommy Rettig) got Lassie on the first episode of the series.  He lived with his mom and grandfather.
4. She wanted to watch television.

Yeah, you'd expect me to know the pet questions.
