Wannaskan Almanac for Tuesday, April 13, 2021...Queen for a Day!

Quote from Mr. Hot Cocoa:  "It would be foolish to come up with a synonym for fatuous."

Quasimodo was a fictional character from the book "The Hunchback of Notre Dame".  Interestingly enough, nobody talks about how Quasimodo (or Tank, as his friends called him) was transformed into the hunchback.  He used to play center for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (or the politically correct Notre Dame Pacifist Non Binary Title IX Body Ball Program) until he got injured in a freak play, leaving him with a hunch that he should have done hockey instead.  

QR codes are a type of matrix barcode first designed in 1994 for the automotive industry in Japan. A barcode is a machine-readable optical label that contains information about the item to which it is attached. In practice, QR codes often contain data for a locator, identifier, or tracker that points to a website or application. A QR code uses four standardized encoding modes to store data efficiently; extensions may also be used.  You can also leave nasty messages for people in QR codes.  

Scan if you want, but you have been warned

Qi is defined as a vital energy that is held to animate the body internally and is of central importance in some Eastern systems of medical treatment.  It is better known as a way of getting rid of a Q in Scrabble when you don't have any "U's". The longest word you can play with a Q and no U is  
MBAQANGAS.  

Never give up...don't qi't

Quiet Riot was founded in 1973.  According to 3 seconds of research by yours truly, the band is still together and is only on hiatus from touring due to Covid 19.  Here are their top 10 songs.  

1. Metal Health (Bang Your Head)
2. Come On Feel The Noize.
3. Mama Weer All Crazee Now.
4. The Wild and the Young.
5. Party All Night.
6. Slick Black Cadillac.
7. Stay With Me Tonight.
8. Terrified.
9. Run For Cover.
10. Free.
