(Answers.)

Returning team NAMBLA's Just Glad That Our Chinese Boy Didn't Get Recalled did go 10 for 10 on that round, so that's one stereotype shattered. Marlon Brando Look-Alikes really can be Jesus experts.

That wasn't good enough to vault NAMBLA into first place, however -- Funky Cold Ahmadinejad took first prize overall, scoring 70 out of a possible 81. Wethinks we'll have to start making these quizzes a touch harder.

Other rounds: old standbys Geography and Movies, plus All or Nothing, Crash, and Filthy Stinking Rich. Plus two visual rounds that we're too lazy to recreate on the web: identifying the movie, TV show, or comic book from a prostitute; and identifying the product from a TV commercial freeze frame.

Full standings follow after the jump.
