Final Jeopardy: 18th Century British Scientists (4-19-16)

Andrew Pau ran all these categories:

BRIT NAMES FOR VEGGIES
($200) The Brits call the snow & snap types of these “mange tout” because you can eat the pods as well
($400) Hey Skinny! What the Brits call a “runner bean” is known as this type of bean in the United States
($600) Spring onion is the British name for this, which also starts with “S”
($800) If you want some arugula in a trendy London eatery, try this space-y word
($1000) The Brits say aubergine; we say this

EXTINCT CREATURES
($200) This flightless 50-pound bird from Mauritius laid its sole egg on the ground, so extinction? Not much of a surprise
($400) In 2015 researches inserted this animal’s genes related to its cold lifestyle into an Asian elephant, a close relative
($600) This alliterative bird seen here could no longer be seen alive after the early 20th century.
($800) G’day & Good Lord! I wouldn’t want to box the giant type of this marsupial which would be 6-½ feet tall & weigh 500 pounds.
(The $1,000 clue was one of the Daily Doubles on Page 1)

SHAKESPEARE’S FIRST LINES
($400) Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene
($800) A member of this trio asks, “When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lightning, or in rain?”
($1200) He’s the aging subject of the line “I thought the king had more affected the Duke of Albany than Cornwall.”
($1600) Antonio, this title Italian, says “In sooth, I know not why I am so sad: It wearies me; you say it wearies you”
($2000) One midsummer night, this Duke of Athens declares, “Now,fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour draws on apace”.

The 4th category Andrew ran was “Capital City Overlaps” which also had a Daily Double in it. It was so impressive!

It was sort of like this Sporcle Quiz only the last two letters were the first two letters of the second capital and you had to figure out how to say it, too! That posed no problem whatsoever for Andrew.
