This is a fun thread! These are real-seeming categories ranked by how much advantage I think I'd have over others on J-level questions, not precisely the things I know the most about.

Geography: The Caribbean
Entertainment: Computer Gaming
History: Islamic History
Arts & Literature: Nobel Literature Since 1990
Science & Nature: Invertebrates

That's a good point. Those are two different criteria.

For example, I'm reasonably good at world capitals, US state capitals, and US presidents.

However, so are a bunch of other trivia aficionados! I'm pretty good at those topics in absolute terms (and would do better than random people off the street) but I don't think I'd have much of an advantage over other Jeopardy! contestants.

Nice one; I've been trying to come up with "oddly specific" categories like this (I was going to use "NY Yankees Retired Numbers" .. but this was actually already a subject: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=1546) I think I'd do OK competing with you on this subject. :)

How I wish this was true. But how many nights are there unbelievable TSs in basic categories? This season isn't as bad as last season but it happens fairly often.
