Get a grip Susan!!! It made the everyday man feel vindicated. Vigilante justice that we would never exert, but lived vicariously thru the Death Wish movies.

mental_floss The 5pm Quiz: A Sherlock Holmes Plot Quiz
Arthur Conan Doyle first created the detective in 1887, Sherlock Holmes has been paraded on the big screen, parodied, dissected, but most of all beloved by millions. So there have to be some loyal mental_floss readers out there who can don their deerstalker hats and solve this one in no time flat. After all, it’s elementary.

Seven Civil War stories your teacher never told you - CNN.com

Perhaps your history teachers failed to alert you to these Civil War facts: Jefferson Davis nearly got mugged by an angry female mob; Abraham Lincoln loved the Confederate anthem "Dixie," and Paul Revere was a Civil War casualty.

We've never done a book giveaway here on our Facebook Wall, but let's give it a shot. Pretend for a moment that you're a millionaire with philanthropic leanings. After you heard about the mental_floss $50,000 Tuition Giveaway, you decided to start your own scholarship. What will you call it...

January 23 at 6:53am

Julia at 11:48am January 27

My scholarship would be the "Lesson Learned" scholarship. The criteria would simply be for the applicant to turn in an essay (or, if available, a video of the actual moment) recounting the most embarrassing moment in his/her life, and how that event has helped him/her to prepare for college and beyond. Extra points will be given for artistic visual... Read More aids, such as illustrative dioramas, musical accompaniments, or photographic journals. Because every applicant will be reliving this (usually) horrific moment, all applicants will receive a hand-written thank you note expressing my gratitude that they were willing to do it in the first place. The winner will receive $10,000 and a chance to change what could have been a life-defining moment into a stepping stone into a more promising (and less embarrassing) future.

mental_floss Thanks to everyone who bought the book! Now it's time for a book tour, albeit a limited one. If you live in the greater New York, Boston, Birmingham or Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill areas, come meet some of your favorite flossers:

mental_floss Wow, we got a lot closer to 3,000 than I expected (currently at 2,995 with almost 7 weekend hours left). Thanks to all who declared their fanhood!

If you've got a second, we just launched The Ultimate Brain Challenge (mentalfloss.com/dojo.) We started with history to promote our new book, but will be adding other subjects, like literature, movies, environmental science and the Super Bowl. Any requests?
