What do U2 and Abraham Lincoln have in common?
There's usually a theme in each week's Head2Head trivia. It might be movies, sports, music, literature ... well, you get the idea.
Sometimes, though, the person doing the trivia is (ahem) lazy, which means a kind of hodgepodge of random questions. This is one of those times.
Last week's trivia champ and out-of-towner, Chris Dixon, is going up against Gina Brooks, who's planning a wedding.
