I've seen similar ones to this one but never this one. Pardon me for trying to see how smart you are. Geesh, Boyz

I guessed on #5 and didn't know 2 or 3. And really, #8 is incorrect. Lettuce is processed. You can buy it cut up in a bag with other salad items. If that doesn't qualify as processed, then watermelon should be on the list because I've never heard of anything being done to that other than cut up.

NASCAR
Technically, NASCAR races are not official until NASCAR officials posts the results of the race. Which is usually AFTER the race. And this is especially true for the final race at the end of the year when points are used.

But there is a leader board...

How about fishing rallys?

I guess I am a know-it-all...........

I got only 2 wrong.

Working in a school is finally paying off!

I am too tired, stressed, overworked and undersexed to bother trying... I went right to the answers. And processed lettuce in a bag is still considered fresh.
