    This is Ep 30 of 21 Questions by Trivia Tribe, in which we cover scary sharks, less scary dolphins, and a country singer that’s not scary at all! We’ll have our customary 'Still Alive.. or not so much?' question and a 'Who Am I?' as well! It will be fun, we promise*!

    *Please note: This is not the sort of promise that is legally binding so you don’t get to initiate legal action if in fact you do not find it fun. Thank you.

At the same time he noticed how loud the internal combustion motor of the car was, and how that was interfering with his enjoyment of the show. ‘If only there was a way to make car engines quieter’ he thought. And the rest is history…
