Apparently in the US, New York Times crossword puzzle is the most popular puzzle that everyone looks forward to everyday.<br /><br />There are many interesting trivia I've taken home with me after watching this movie.<br /><br />1.Like Sudoku,crossword puzzles have many levels of difficulty,with Monday being the easiest(coz it's the start of the week) and Friday,Saturday and Sunday being the hardest.<br /><br />2.These puzzles cannot contain any disgusting words like urine or rectum, bcoz on Sundays,Americans will solve the puzzle on their breakfast table and such words will make them feel uncomfortable. <br /><br />3.Crossword puzzles contain an odd nos of squares. There are a total of 19 blackened squares.<br /><br />4.There is an annual American Crosswords Tournament where puzzlers from all around America will gather at Stamford to compete against each other. <br /><br />5.Bill Clinton plays crossword puzzles too!<br /><br />6.There are different themes for each crossword puzzle.The puzzle constructor created one based on 7 days of the week.So words like suntan,wedding are used.<br /><br />I think it's nice to find out that crossword puzzles is a national pastime in US and that it hasn't succumb to the evils of technology,you know,PSP,WII and all those electronic games. <br /><br />Hopefully this fever for crosswords will never die down!<br /><br />Check it out!<br /><br /><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/AUOWQRIUiGE&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/AUOWQRIUiGE&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div><br><br> <br> </td> <td valign="top" id="blog" width="220" style="border-right: 0px solid #7F4E52; padding: 5px 5px 5px 10px;"><br><br> <center></center><br><br> <i></i><br><br> <a href="http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view?back=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fei%3DUTF-8%26p%3Dthe%2520dark%2520knight%26fr2%3Dtab-web%26fr%3Dmoz2&w=338&h=500&imgurl=static.flickr.com%2F3235%2F2450316037_d3bcf9c998.jpg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fcinesfera%2F2450316037%2F&size=135.6kB&name=Afiche+Batman%3A+The+Dark+Knight+5&p=the+dark+knight&type=JPG&oid=2fad103d497d1082&fusr=cinesfera&tit=Afiche+Batman%3A+The+Dark+Knight+5&hurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fcinesfera%2F&no=16&tt=183,748&sigr=11ijmaooc&sigi=11gbl4nur&sigb=12vetcjvd&sigh=117g05ph2"><img src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Bl4ckfire/superman46.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br> It's a bird!
