    There was another game in jeopardy that had a similar clue about the grand poo bah. Still not a bad guess from patrick. I really wonder if Ben actually got more than three games won during his run? Little Howie’s great word adventure had this nickname as well.

      Lou, I put the other poobah clue on Page 2 — it was a DD the other time.

      I remember that clue with Alex floating in the Dead Sea, though I am not sure if I saw it on TV in this particular game or somewhere else!
