		Last week when the QM found out that the News-Letter would not be publishing an issue due to the snow that was, well, everywhere, she rejoiced.
		First, at that point the QM hadn't yet finished the weekly quiz and knew that she had escaped the wrath of editors upset over the fact that the quiz wasn't in on time.
		Therefore, in honor of all of the eating establishments that the QM tried to go to in the snowy weather, the first quiz of the last year of the old millennium (this being the same millennium we've known and loved for the past 999 years) is The Restaurant Quiz.

	BBC - h2g2 - The News Quiz - the Radio Programme (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.netlab.uky.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The News Quiz is a long-running programme on BBC Radio 4, usually broadcast twice a week, on a weekday evening at 6.30 and on Saturday lunchtime, although its broadcast times have varied over the years.
		The show is essentially a quiz about the news, as you may already have guessed from the title, in which two teams compete to answer questions, usually phrased in the form of appallingly bad puns, on various topical subjects.
		Indeed this, along with the stuffiness of which the BBC tried unsuccessfully to rid the show, are among the most important reasons for its success.
