~ When your entire team consists of players in their 30s, it doesn't bode well for a question on music from 2015. Those players will likely not know 50% of the bands being asked about...
~ I somehow managed to get a question on the history of Math correct, and a question on Tea incorrect. I'm not sure what to think anymore.
~ Question to ponder: Why is a question regarding peaches, specifically the parts of a peach, in a section called Good Anatomy? I get the Anatomy part but not so much the Good part.
~ Unfortunately, no extra points are given when you know the answer before the 3 choices are given.
~ Even my love for Glenn Miller didn't help with a question regarding where his plane went down. Luckily, we're good with dates and battles of WWII so we were able to figure it out (The English Channel in case you were wondering.) Though I still feel I should have gotten extra points for being the only team mate to know who he was.
~ Jerry Orbach was not only Lenny Briscoe but was also Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast. How did I not know this? I've seen that movie a million times and never picked up his voice.
~ You must be at least 7 feet from someone to keep from getting Flu germs. That goes a long way in explaining why I got the flu the year I taught - the little outbreak monkeys and I were in a classroom about the size of a postage stamp.
~ Paul McCartney played a part in the Thriller album. Seriously?
~ Thank goodness for House, MD. Because of my love for the first season, I was able to answer the final question for my team and we were able to wager 40 points - the not so smart thing we love to do. Why I can remember an episode all about African Sleeping Sickness being caused by a TseTse fly and not remember basic math, is anyone's guess. But let's not dwell on that, and let's dwell on the 40 points we gained because of it...
