~ Apparently, some weeks you're most definitely on while others, you're most definitely not. This week was one of the off weeks. The questions were ridiculous and pretty much the entire team was doing nothing but guessing.
~ Apparently alum as opposed to salt is a 4 letter spice that is a natural fire retardant, and will whiten bread. I have absolutely no idea what alum is and I'm fairly certain I've never seen it in any spice aisle.
~ Gypsum as opposed to talcum can be found in chalk and fertilizer. Seriously? Where did he get this stuff? I've never even heard of gypsum and I would have staked my life on talcum being the correct answer.
~ When it comes to ridiculous categories such as television, I'm your girl. I mean honestly, who doesn't know that Johnny Lee Miller plays Sherlock Holmes in Elementary? However, when it comes to ridiculous categories such as 90s television (as in 90210), I'm out.
~ I know that Jane Goodall is a renowned primatologist. I know that Girl Scout Cookies are available free of gluten. I however, do not know that the Andes were in South America.
~ There's apparently a Hollywood, which I knew, a Bollywood in India, which I also knew and a Nollywood in Nigeria, which no one on God's green earth knew. But for some reason, I guessed Nigeria and was told I was wrong by the team. Where does this ridiculous information come from in the far recesses of my brain?
~ When working as a group, a team of 2 gay guys and 3 straight girls can do remarkably well on a question about Pro-wrestlers' real names.
~ Even when a team risks all 40 points on a question you know is 100% correct (what uniform was the woman wearing in the famous photograph taken in Times Square on VJ Day ?- a nurse), you can still wind up in last place, mostly because every other team also knew their answer was 100% correct.
