Today's theme is: I'm a Loser, Baby. In trivia there can be only one winner. Here's a round for the rest of you.
1. The U.S. presidential election of 1984 is one of the biggest landslides, in terms of the electoral college, in U.S. history. Who lost that election?
2. In the Shakespeare play “Romeo and Juliet,” which character, after losing a sword duel, says, “A plague on both your houses”?
3. The longest ongoing championship drought in major league U.S. men’s sports is 73 seasons long. What team, who started out in Chicago in 1920, holds that record?
4. What movie set an Academy Awards record in 2016 by earning 14 Oscar nominations while not winning “Best Picture”?
5. In 2002, a media company reported the largest annual corporate loss of all time, adjusted for inflation, at $98.7 billion. That huge loss was the result of a merger between Time Warner and what other company?
