It was another good game, and certainly better than yesterday’s disaster. As is typically the case, the contestants always seem to have trouble recalling CEO Mary Barra’s company. Perhaps that is why that particular clue continues to pop up from time to time. Personally, I did about average in the game, and the FJ was obviously referring to bibles. Actually, “bibles’ were what I came up with, and they certainly weren’t the King James’ version (those bibles clearly came out much later).
