A few days ago BlogMad went from private beta mode to public. BlogMad is somewhat similar to BlogExplosion. You surf blogs to earn credits. They go by the 1:1 ratio: view one blog and get one credit. They also have games, lottery and messaging service. For those who didn't sign up early, you need an invite. Here is your chance to earn one.

I'm giving invites to the first Five people who answer all trivia questions correctly. Since I'm only giving out five invites, there will only be five questions. Here are the rules:

1. All questions are from posts made this year (2006). There's only about 25 to 26 posts. The questions should give you a hint as to where the answer is.

2. You only get one chance, one entry. So, double check all answers before submitting them.

3. You can submit your answers two ways: leaving a comment to this post or emailing them to me. If you choose to email them, you must put "Contest Entry" in the subject line. If you don't, your submission will be deleted.

4. You must include your name (just your first name is fine) and email address in order to send the invite if you win.

5. You only have ONE week to send or post your entry. Next Sunday Midnight Central time, the contest will close. I will post the winners the following Monday. Winners will be sent their invites also on Monday.

First of all, I would like to wish everyone a Happy Horror Day. Later on tonight, you will have a chance to win 1,000 BlogMad credits. Keep checking for that. Now on to tonight's first story. Henry Adams hired American sculpture Augustus St. Gaudens to construct a memorial for his beloved wife, Marian "Clover" Adams who committed suicide after the death of her father. After four years, the piece was finished in 1891. It was never officially named, but it was mostly known as the "Adams Memorial" and later "Grief". Stories vary as to how it received that nickname. The statue was so fascinating that a sculpture named Eduard L.A. Pausch copied it. The statue would go to be named "Black Aggie". General Felix Agnus purchased the copy in 1905 to place at his family's tomb. Then had a monument and pedestal created that would closely match the setting of the Adams Memorial in Washington. No one knows exactly why he chose this statue. A year later,

Lorelei Inn

In Green Bay, Wisconsin and looking for some good German food? Lorelei Inn may be the place for you. Built in 1926, this restaurant was named after a woman in Germanic folklore named Lorelei. She falsely accused of bewitching men but was soon pardoned. Unfortunately her victory would be short lived. She climbed a rock looking for her unfaithful lover, slipped and fell to her death. Lorelei Inn has only been owned by two families and doesn't have a seedy past. However, it is believed to be haunted by several spirits. Footsteps have been heard in the upstairs area. One of the spirits believed to haunting this restaurant is a former owner named Leonard Hack. He supposedly hangs out at his once favorite place, the bar. Many have felt his presence there as well as smelled cigarette smoke. He is also believed to visit the basement area where the office is located. Objects move around on their own, sometimes pots fall off hooks. The TV turns on by itself. There's also a haunted ta
