Sad to see such a fine show as JEOPARDY stooping so low as to devote an entire category to “Snopes” as though it were a reliable source. Of course we know that Nancy Pelosi’s “impeachment pens” didn’t cost $15,000.., but Snopes left out quite a bit of information, and insinuated the total cost of the pens was only about $450. Snopes just called Nancy’s Chief of Staff, who said the pens were “just under $15. each” and “the 30 pens she used totaled $450.” Well, the Rhode Island television station that interviewed the owner of the local, long-time supplier of commemorative pens, aired the interview. The owner of the company said the pens cost “about $20. each, and they filled the total order for 300 pens.” So, that makes the total for the “Impeachment Pens” about $6000., much less than the exaggerated $15,000, but way more than $450….in fact, almost 14 TIMES as much as what the C-of-S claimed. Just don’t understand why Snopes didn’t go to the source….
Several really goofy answers today. Especially the moon in 2012. As a big-time sports fan, I couldn’t help but chuckle at Dutch Leonard’s 0.96 “batting average.” What really shocked me is the FJ from 2 years ago. No one could figure out that LV (55 in Roman) means Louis Vuitton luggage?
The Teachers Tournament isn’t postponed.
We FINALLY have our 1st 3-Time Champion since Jessica Babbitt, who defeated a 5-Time Champion named Paul Trifiletti.
Congrats to Sarah on her third win and her comeback today. But still though Deutsche airlines? There is no such airline with that name. Very creative response from mina VJ but still I found that funny. If there was I guess she would be in the Dutch region for a great vacation. Speaking of the ten commandments that film is always shown at Easter time. Too bad the two daily doubles didn’t work out for our opponents today. Sarah could definitely get a streak going
Deutsche is German for “German,” so it makes sense as a shot at something relevant.
From wikipedia: “Deutsche Lufthansa AG … commonly known as Lufthansa”
Ahem
Keep it going, Sarah.
