 | All exposed skin? Noses, eyes? How do you manage to see where you're going? As a matter of interest, how long could extremities like fingers last without cover in those temperatures? |

 | Hi PeopleQuiz Friends:
Some of our regulars have asked how they can help drive traffic to the site. In short, the best way to do this is to create "inbound links" to PeopleQuiz by pasting links to our quizzes, category pages, and more on your favorite page; perhaps your Facebook page. Some folks have their own site on which they would like to paste a link. Maybe you know a friend who has a web site on British History. Ask that person if they would be willing to paste a link to our British History quizzes on their site. You get the idea. When Google sees sites with a great deal of inbound links, it rates the site higher which drives more traffic to the site.
Another way is to mention the site in blogs or forums and pasting a link back to the site. Tell others how much fun PeopleQuiz is!
You guys are the best and we thank you all! |

| | Layers, Grant. Dress in layers - with thermals. Drink hot stuff. Down coat. Cover all exposed skin. Don't put yourself at risk by staying out for long periods of time. Does that help? |

| | Bill, as it's colder than the inside of a freezer, any advice I can give a first-timer taking on such extremes? |

| | Cold here, for sure Grant! Below zero C here today. Thermals? Yes. |

| | Bill, we have a teacher readying herself to begin an exchange in Alberta for a year. She told me yesterday the town she's bound for had minus 29! I suppose you're experiencing similar pleasant conditions. She's going shopping today to see if she can buy thermal underwear (something not in great demand in an Australian summer!) |

| | I've often wondered why black people allow the term "black spot" to be used in the way it is. |

| | Grant, I think the word "black" leads us to presume something dark. |

| | Dave, strange how one automatically assumed something sinister rather than the important bottom line. Thanks for the detective work. |

| | Grant,
From Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Friday_(shopping)
The day's name originated in Philadelphia, where it originally was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving.[5][6] Use of the term started before 1961 and began to see broader use outside Philadelphia around 1975. Later an alternative explanation was made: that retailers traditionally operated at a financial loss ("in the red") from January through November, and "Black Friday" indicates the point at which retailers begin to turn a profit, or "in the black".[5][7] For large retail chains like Walmart, their net income is positive starting from January 1, and Black Friday can boost their year to date net profit from $14 billion to $19 billion

 | I realize I haven't posted a quiz for a while but I can't find the link to do so and I wanted to write a quiz. Am I suffering from early onset Alzheimer's or something? |

| | Why is it called Black Friday? Not the most joyous appellation for a family-oriented time!

| | Hi Grant - I would say that T-giving and Christmas are equally family-centric. Thanksgiving is more about eating and shopping (the day after) while Christmas is more about eating and opening the gifts you bought during Thanksgiving-time.
Either way, it's a very loving, sharing time as illustrated in this Black Friday picture below where several people are ready to kill each other over a $99 TV set. Aren't we caring and loving?! |

| | Gentlemen, from someone who's not connected with the Thanksgiving celebration, I've heard it's more significant for families than Christmas. Any comments? |

| | Lis, I agree with Dave in that he is the king of misspells.
He is quite a programmer though and my good friend. We have fun working on PeopleQuiz - most of the time... |
