The answer to last week’s trivia question:

How much did Thoreau spend when he built his cabin near Walden Pond?

$28.12 1/2. What ever happened to the half-penny anyway?

No one gets credit, because I stumped you even though the answer would be really easy to find on Google should one be so inclined. You people are lazy. However, I send Jennifer credit for at least being interested in the answer.

So, this week’s question:

Which real-life writer was the inspiration for Alice Walker’s character Shug Avery in The Color Purple?

Answer: Zora Neale Hurston. Credit goes to Ms. Boombastic.
