Lately my husband has been watching quiz shows on TV.  Sometimes I’d watch, too, while  washing the dishes.  I’d shout out my answers.  Most of the time they’re correct. And I would think to myself that if I could be on that show I could probably win a million. 

One night I couldn’t sleep so I played around with the computer and found myself checking out  the “Who wants to be a millionaire?” website. I signed up to get free tickets to the show. Even contemplated signing up for auditions to the show.  Chickened out. Instead I clicked on the button that said “Play Online” .  I played the game over and over, but couldn’t win anything beyond $1000. So that brought me down to reality. Now I know. I don’t have what it takes to win a million. For now.  I’ll keep polishing my skills and just maybe I might get more than a thousand next time. 

If you think you’re better than me, try your luck. Here’s the link:http://millionairetv.com/playonline.html

You need to brush up on your facts so here’s another terrific site  where you can practice http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/quiz/ . They have quizzes on all kinds of topics, plus the all-important  TOP TEN LIST  that they usually include in the shows. Be sure to look into the “Coffee Break” portion at the bottom of the page.
