Hi,VJ. Great site! I just had one small correction to make on island size in connection with the Final Jeopardy explanation. Puerto Rico is 3,363 sq.mi., not 8,710 sq. mi. That’s what it is in sq. km.
Thanks for the heads up on that, Mimi. I appreciate it. (Can’t believe I didn’t even notice I copied the wrong column there. lol).
Anyhow, it is fixed now.
I would have probably gotten Hawaii but not Kodiak.
Josh played well today and he seems to have what it takes to continue his win. Megan couldn’t get much going today but still though Victoria is somewhere in Australia. Doesn’t Ishmael remind you of that character from the novel Moby Dick VJ?
It’s Meg, not Megan, although Meg is short for Megan.
Meg is also a nickname for Margaret, the given name of Meg March in Little Women.
Really? I didn’t know that.
Victoria is one of canadas biggest islands, but victoria is not in the Pacific Ocean.
That’s for sure. but don’t forget Victoria is also a state in Australia in addition to being located in Canada. Overall I do believe Robin Roberts has made a good start on the show today. So i will see how she does for the rest of this week.
There’s a reason he reminds you of the guy from Moby Dick: “The Biblical name Ishmael has come to symbolize orphans, exiles, and social outcasts. By contrast with his namesake from the Book of Genesis, who is banished into the desert, Melville’s Ishmael wanders upon the sea. Each Ishmael, however, experiences a miraculous rescue; in the Bible from thirst, here from drowning.” See Wikipedia: Ishmael_(Moby-Dick)
