BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – Name one local politician who has served time in a federal prison.

The hard part is naming just one. There's Larry, of course, and Gary. John Katapodis. Jeff Germany, Don Siegelman. There's probably more. There probably should be more.

Name one thing that Birmingham does much better than Atlanta.

Baseball downtown (in a couple of years, anyway). Snowstorms. Traffic. Use water. Cost of living. Corruption (we're really good at it – see above list).

If Vulcan represented Birmingham's industrial beginnings, what mythological figure would best represent the city today?

Mothra. Just because.

The Birmingham History Center is throwing a gameshow-style fundraiser in August, and it needs your help and your wit.

The non-profit's gameshow, called "Can You Repeat That?" will happen live on-stage at the Virginia Samford Theatre on August 7, and it will include elements of other shows, like NPR's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me...," "To Tell the Truth," and "Family Feud."

The latter is why the History Center needs your help – it needs your survey answers for the "Family Feud" portion of the game.

The questions above are examples of the (fun!) Birmingham-centric questions found in the survey, but there are more – name a dish you'll find on the menu of any Greek-owned restaurant in town, what name should be used for Birmingham's future NBA team, etc.

So fill out the survey real quick, and have fun with it. It's for a gameshow, so it's supposed to be fun.

The eventual event will feature a long list of Birminghamians: John Archibald, Kyle Whitmire, Glenny Brock, Frank Stitt, James Spann, Jay Roberson, Richard Arrington, Pam King, Randy Law, Chris Davis, Courtney Haden, and Laura Kate Whitney. It'll start at 7:30 p.m. at the VST, and admission will be $25.
