The Razzies® 2009

By the time many of you read this, the Oscars will have been awarded. But last night the 29th Annual Golden Raspberry (Razzie®) Awards were announced. And the big winners are...Mike Myers (Worst Actor); Paris Hilton (Worst Actress AND Worst Supporting Actress) and Uwe Boll (Worst Director AND Worst Career Achievement). Uwe is rated as being Germany's version of Ed Wood! I hope they all turned up to receive their awards.

New week; new questions: -
  1. Today in 1874, Major Walter Wingfield patented a game called sphairistike. How is it known today?
  2. In which country was the Rotary Club founded today in 1905?
  3. Victor Yushchenko (below), who was born today in 1954, is the current president of which former Soviet state?

Yesterday's Answers: 1. Fiji; 2. Oscar Wilde; 3. Franklin Winfield Woolworth; 4. Seven of Nine
