Easter Fun

One of the more difficult tests I've ever taken occurred when I was seeking entry into the police academy. Coincidentally it was the day of my college graduation ceremony and I chose not to attend so I could take the exam for the police academy. There were many different parts to the process but one particular section was very challenging to me. It wasn't impossible and obviously a ton of people pass it, but I was surprised to find such a quiz for a profession in law enforcement.

Anyway, because I enjoy trivia type stuff I decided to create my own and share it with you. The instructions are easy: fill in the blanks. You must fill in every blank space; for example, if the sentence looked like this, "My favorite NFL football team is the _ _ _ _ _ _ Cowboys", then the answer would be Dallas. It's not correct simply because the word chosen by you is contextually accurate, it must also be the right amount of letters.

The topic for your quiz is Easter facts. Enjoy. Oh, and don't spoil it for others by giving away the answers.
