Re: Friday, March 15, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
I relatively recently read the Samuel Eliot Morison biography of JPJ, so this was an instaget. But if I hadn't read it I would have had no guess.

CPAP, continuous positive airway pressure. It's the machine that treats sleep apnea by preventing one from snoring excessively.

My daughter has just pointed out to me that the category has been "Landmarks" two days in a row. Have they ever had the same category two days in a row before?

Wow, congratulations on the well deserved win, Morbeedo. But did you have to make it that exciting? I think I was literally on the edge of my seat.

I played this off the archive and had a really hard time parsing the clue. I spent a long time trying to figure out what it might mean to "Japanese laugh". Once I figured out what kind of answer was required I couldn't decide between "esperanto" and "lingua franca" and ...
