Somewhat related trivia question:

What 1984 song by a very successful band gets the time of day of the assassination wrong?

As a number of you (particularly Gnash) get annoyed at Jeopardy science clues, here is evidence that the disease is widespread in TV dramas. http://www.cracked.com/article_19160_8- ... ology.html

Once again hoping to draw on the knowledge of the minions here -- I'm having problems with my company's email being rejected because of a reverse DNS issue. Anyone knowledgeable enough and willing to help me figure it out? Please PM me and thanks in advance.

enjoy!

Today I played your new one and it is just as good: http://www.sporcle.com/games/jpahk/ap-test

Nice shout out to a boardie and I approve the athlete used. It was also a proud feeling to get the 2nd hardest one correct.

That was a good one. I did slightly better on the A.P. one than on the L.B. one.

I only missed three on A.P. -- and they were three of the hardest four.

Nice puzzle.

I missed 10, but, as a consolation prize, I got the current second (and fourth) hardest clues.

So...apparently in the past 20 years, movie soundtracks have been pumping the bass to insane levels for I don't know why.

Oblivion trailer before JP in the IMAX theater: groundshaking. Literally. The ground shook. Chairs vibrated.
But here's the crazy bit, all throughout Jurassic Park, it never reached those levels. Even when the T-Rex roared, the theater did not shake. It was loud, it was low, yet clear and effective. I probably wouldn't have even noticed if not for the Oblivion trailer (which, seriously, was just a 90 second bone massage...)

So I'm on the phone with Comcast and they tell me to enter my account number "one digit at a time..." Has anyone here mastered the technique of entering two digits at the same time?

I tried "atmospheric particulates" for one of the answers until I realized he was after something significantly simpler. Duh.

oh hey, thanks. glad you liked it, and thanks for posting the link, thus saving me the trouble. which athlete did you approve of? there are three questions about athletes, i think (NFL, golf, baseball).

For some reason, I think Mark has Vikings ties.

They dress very formally for football games in Minnesota, I guess.

It was good - very challenging! I missed 8, I think. Also got the 2nd-hardest one correct (think it was on J! within the last year).

Missed one (and lost a bit of time) because

I couldn't think of a better way to spell astral in "Astral Plain" (you know, that flat grassy place where spirits hang out)

Like Moe's jabbing Curly's eyes? Or Chopsticks?

I have eight fingers and two thumbs, and the phone has 10 numbers on it, so depending on the account number, I might be tempted to try play them all at once.

Yes, the Vikings are my team even though I've lived in S.F. my whole life, so the NFL guy was the athlete I had in mind. Besides everyone knows golfers and pitchers are not athletes. Kidding. Just kidding.

Seriously?

I can't imagine rooting for a losing team (even with Brett Favre at QB for a while), while my hometown team wins 4 Super Bowls, and all I have to show for it recently is a crushing CCG loss and a questionable QB situation.

.....

*sigh*

Put "Tarkenton" into the search box and that will get you to to the July 31, 2012 thread where I gave the explanation last summer. And I'm old enough to remember all 5 Super Bowl wins for SF.

As long as we're sporcling, I decided to pop my cherry and my first one ever is live now.
Get your ears on and let me know what you think?
Fixes/ edits/ oopsie-alerts definitely appreciated!
