About this Event
Porcelain University Knowledge Bowl is a live, Jeopardy!-style trivia game hosted by local author and former Jeopardy! contestant Jeff Plate. The audience plays from their seats, picking categories and answering clues drawn straight from the book. Correct answers earn raffle tickets toward prizes, and guests can also submit questions to try to stump the author. A book signing follows, with signed copies available for purchase.
THE BOOK
Porcelain University: Bathroom Book 101: Quick, Surprising Facts to Learn While You Sit (Zeitgeist/Penguin Random House) packs more than 500 short, standalone facts on how things work, word origins, the human body, science, history, culture and crime. Why are airplane windows round? Why are flamingos pink? Why can't New Jersey car dealerships sell on Sunday? The book is endorsed by Casey Webb (Man v. Food), Jeopardy! Super-Champion Alison Betts and NJ.com's Jeremy Schneider.
