I missed the Rhine river question because the clue stated that it flowed into Lake Constance but in reality Lake Constance is the source and it flows into the North Sea.

A little irritated that I was stumped by Mary Higgins Clark, and even more irritated that I confidently said Jan Van Eyck instead of Jan Vermeer. Anyone have a clever way to separate the Jans? The way I keep them straight is that Vermeer really plays with light in his paintings, and often the light...

People.com has an article about the new season of Jeopardy. What got my attention is that the author thinks it's an ABC show, and not syndicated by Sony and that it's on at 7PM EST.

Given all of the extra space afforded by HDTV, I wish they'd keep the scores on the screen in a corner. I wish that whenever they have the “make a word out of the letters in this word” they would have the base word on screen when that category is chosen. Yes. Totally. Now that Mark enters the game ...

Thanks for the fun game. My sports knowledge helped out a few times.

I came in last on my last TD with all but 2 answers were sheep and on this TD I didn't name any sheep and I am 2 points out of first. I'll definitely take it.

Wow. This is my worst TD ever. I started out so good with a singleton, and the rest have all been sheep except one wrong answer.

Now my goal is to get below the all-sheep line.

The opposite of TD, there was the short-lived Match Game where the object was to choose the entry with the most guesses.

Here's one: viewtopic.php?t=2456

Many thanks to archivists, mods, poll creators and everyone else for another great season! ^^^ What he said! Same here. Having the game put in the archive on the same day is such a game changer. I often come here and see a discussion in the daily thread that makes much more sense to me when I can q...

Oop. I misread Q3. I thought it had to be both. I wondered why most of the questions had lots of possible answers and that one only had a few.

For those of you in Michigan, on Thursday there will be a televised town hall with Governor Whitmer from 7-8PM.

My local J! affiliate WWMT is going to air it, and will be broadcasting J! at 2:07AM. WOF will be at 1:37AM.

I don't need Google to point out my errors!

I typed in "is austin tx farther south than tallahassee fl" and it replied with "Did you mean: is austin tx further south than tallahassee fl"

When I clicked on the Season 36 link, Google Translate asked me if I wanted to translate it. It assumed it was Norwegian. I couldn't figure out what triggered it.

Oops...I didn't indicate that I found this funny and just wanted to share.

CNN posted an article about the Palestine/Israel clue.

I currently live in Michigan.

I was born in Grand Rapids.
A friend was selected to go to Interlochen when I was young.
An aunt owns property near Saginaw Bay.
An ex-BIL was incarcerated in Jackson.

I guessed Kardashian West instead of Kardashian and it was marked wrong.

I am from the midwest, but in the early 80s I lived near Boston for a few years. I was often ridiculed for not understanding the local lingo, so I stopped asking questions in real time and would ask my coworkers for clarification later. When I was at a mall, I ordered an ice cream cone, and the woma...

The Amtrak conductors have always said Dowagiac as "duh-WAH-jack". Johnny had "DOW-a-jack". I grew up 30 miles from there and yes, it's 'Duh-WAH-giac'. Johnny butchered it so bad, I thought it was just some town I never heard of. We'll see if he gets it right tomorrow and I hope Jennifer doesn't ge...

Was I the only one who heard "Sidney Lauper"?

Whiffed on FJ!.

I heard that too, and then I thought she was going to restate it correctly but Alex accepted it before she had to.

So am I the only one who doesn't think of "deal" as a one-syllable word? you think it has more than one syllable? "Dee-yul". Then again I've always parsed "world" and "field" as two-syllable words too. I'm not a language expert, but I'm pretty sure that the two vowels make it a dipthong, not a two-...

I hate that I can no longer program my own computer, and haven't been able to for at least 25 years. Maybe one of you can help me. I want to write a simple program on my Windows 7 PC Whatever it is you are doing, better do it fast. What, does my computer turn into a pumpkin at midnight on the first...
