#4 Monster cannibal rats, Stiff German football fans and The Last Dance
Sounds like a lyric from "We Didn't Start the Fire"
Quizzers ko vanakkam! (translation: “Greetings to incredible and amazing quizzers like you!”)

Push-ups to help you prep for future quizzes:
F1 superfan Merin enthralled us with kick-ass F1 stories on this thread celebrating 70 years of Formula One.
The New York Rats (Not a sports team) are dying of hunger during the Covid crisis. Restaurants and other food waste providers whom these rats relied on for generations are now shut. In what is the closest thing to the rodent version of William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, these rats have resorted to cannibalism to survive.
Is there a German word for “paying €20 to place a cutout of yourself in a football stand to ensure teams don’t play games in empty stadiums”? Cause there should be.
Things we’re reading / watching / listening to:
The Last Dance - a must-watch documentary series about the life and times of Michael Jordan, even if you have no idea about basketball. Best time to binge as all 10 episodes are available.
People Just Do Nothing - If you’re a fan of the mockumentary show format (The Office, Parks and Recreation), People Just Do Nothing is just what the doctor ordered. The programme follows the lives of MC Grindah, DJ Beats and their friends, who run Kurupt FM, a pirate radio station broadcasting UK garage and drum and bass music from Brentford in West London.
