yes, Kevin Johnson's spizzquiz.net site went dormant in July of '04, and he gave up the domain name two years later. The conceit of his site was to take a legitimate news story and substitute an obscure word for a key word, and then make a quiz out of it -- it was quite a popular gimmick, but he went on to other things after about six years. (at that time Kevin was also a news writer at USA Today.)

here's a link to the surviving spizzquiz archives, courtesy of the wayback machine.
