From Iowa-
Ay caramba, memorizing the number of spikes in Bart's head might seem inconsequential, but don't tell that to the 10 contestants in the South Sioux City Public Library's first "The Simpsons" trivia contest Friday who take pride in knowing their d'oh!
The contest, which was open to the public, tested knowledge of the long-running Fox animated show in a series of 100 questions categorized as "simple," "multiple choice" and "impossible to answer," according to library director (and quizmaster) David Mixdorf.
By the way, there are nine spikes in Bart's head.
"Since 'The Simpsons' has made more than 460 episodes and probably has a cast of nearly 1,000 characters, delving into the minutiae of the show was a lot of fun," Mixdorf, a "Simpsons" fan since the family sprung up in cartoon shorts in the late '80s "Tracey Ullman Show, said.
One person not even born when "The Simpsons" first premiered in 1989 was 18-year-old Jeanette Garcia, who entered the contest with her 24-year-old sister Diana Garcia.
"We love 'The Simpsons,'" Jeanette said after taking the quiz, "and we thought we knew 'The Simpsons.'"
"That is, until we took this quiz," Diana said, with Jeanette laughing and nodding in agreement.
