Woman hospitalized after Trivial Pursuit game This is undoubtedly the most important news story of the year. I'd like to thank the Chicago Sun-Times for their thorough and in-depth reporting of this matter. This article is a shining example of hard-hitting investigative journalism.
It may or may not also fit the textbook definition of "slow news day." Article highlights include:
A 21-year-old woman was hospitalized for intoxication over the weekend after "continually providing wrong answers" during a game of Trivial Pursuit where participants drank alcohol and did drugs when they answered incorrectly.
Flurisha L. Cooper ... and Bridgette Pierce ... were playing the 2006 Current Events version of Trivial Pursuit...
If a player provided an incorrect answer, that person would take a shot of E&J Brandy and take a "hit" off a cannabis "blunt," according to the report, which defined a "blunt" as the street name for cannabis rolled up in cigar leaves.
Cooper, 21, who was the yellow piece, continually provided wrong answers, resulting in over intoxication.
