Pizza Trivia Quiz

Pizza Trivia Quiz

It seems like you can get everything from a vending machine nowadays: swim trunks, cupcakes, DVDs, iPods, bars of gold, live crabs, bicycles, sneakers, umbrellas, cell phones . . . and now, customized pizza. That's right, folks. The Let's Pizza machine kneads dough, spreads sauce, adds toppings, and cooks the pizza of your choice, all under 3 minutes! That's totally crazy.

In other pizza news, Brooklyn-based artist Steph Mantis has developed the "Ninja Throwing Slices," Ninja stars made from actual slices of pepperoni pizza preserved in clear Lucite. (I wonder if there's a vegetarian option?) Seems like pizza's a hot trend nowadays, so why not have a little Pizza Trivia Quiz?

(to mods) Ahem. If you will kindly look at the message boards, you will see that they are apparently being maintained. They have been under maintenance for a week now, and I for one think maintenance does not need to go on that long. You get the idea.
