I thought that since bronze was an alloy, it would come after iron. Cost me. I have heard this from a lot of people, including my own brain. You're in good company. ETA: Hi, Blue Lion! I started going down this path but realized iron takes a MUCH higher temperature in order to be processed. Plus ir...

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-art-auction-hockney/david-hockney-pool-painting-soars-to-90-mln-record-for-living-artist-idUSKCN1NL0AT An iconic 1972 painting by British artist David Hockney soared to $90.3 million at Christie’s on Thursday, smashing the record for the highest price ever paid at ...

Oh New Zealand... *facepalm* https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-46234545 High School students in New Zealand who didn't know what the word "trivial" meant in an exam question have demanded not to be marked down as a result. ... The students were asked to write an essay based on the Julius Caesar ...

The kilogram will no longer be measured by an iridium-platinum block but instead by Planck's constant. The word 'Kibble' is also involved, which will be involved in the future clue. *puts 100 quatloos on the table* https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-46143399 On Friday, researchers meetin...

TWO Dr. Evil responses! Lay-Zer and Mag-Ma.

Final thought process: "American Revolution. She. Not a political TOM in sight. Betsy Ross."

Lets move this to the proper thread... At least tell me you don't consider RBIs and pitching wins useful? Wins are utterly useless (Jacob de Grom should be a unanimous Cy Young winner, record be damned) and RBIs only slightly less so. So close... https://deadspin.com/goddamnit-cy-young-voter-who-snu...

I knew all 4 Asian tigers, from a college geography class that I took. I would have expected a higher get rate with only one required. Never heard of that before, but it seemed easy enough to deduce. "Japan...South Korea...Taiwan...(pause)...ahh, Singapore. Let's just go with the first one and avoi...

Lach Trash: peso I don't remember the wording of the clue, but Spain's currency was the peseta (not the peso) from 1869 until the conversion to the euro in 2002. For FJ, I think they thought it was Kid's Week, not Teen Week. But Spain has used the peso in the past. Long long ago past, but it's not ...

Now my question of the day: part 1: is LOTF part of the required reading list in high school these days. In my HS days we read different stuff. I guess if this is something everyone reads now (like what? 1984? To Kill a Mockingbird? The Color Purple?) this get by two teenagers was maybe not as extr...

Another outdated clue thanks to the recent A.G. change.

Not really; the fact that there's now an (acting) 85th doesn't change the fact that he's the 84th.

Acting AGs don't appear to count toward the number.

My suggestion that I made on The Final Wager when this was a subject there is invite the Teen Tournament winners, but not until the first ToC taped after turning 18. (I voted "yes" in the poll since my compromise wasn't an option.) what if there are three of them at the same time? OK, first thing t...

Tue - A1 (and strongly wished 'atlas' would've been sufficient...)

Neither Tue or Fri aired at their usual time; Friday was preempted for fire coverage.

I'm this kind of scientist, a byword for braniac, so I study thrust & stability when going into space Don't agree with accepting 'aerospace engineer.' The non-restrictive clause isn't just a TOM, it helps key in the desired profession. Sadly, "it's not aerospace engineering" isn't quite as common a...

This FJ was not a case of knowing a horse's name, or a year. Knowing too much and overthinking was a disadvantage - you just had to go for the pop cultural icon. Russia is helpful if you know Waterloo is there (? is it?), and with the French sounding name (with AT's acccent) gave you up to four Pav...

I’ve been a baseball fan for 40 years and don’t think I’ve ever heard of Wins Above Replacement. :oops: it is relatively new...sabermetric geeks love that stat...is pretty much how trout gets in the final 3 for mvp every year...even made it this year over jd martinez, which is laughable Laughable? ...

Seriously? Well, 30 of those years won't count as far as WAR is concerned, but yeah, if you've been paying any attention to the sport in the last 10 years or so, you should have heard of WAR. And OPS, for that matter. But then again, I'm a lapsed SABR member. I've always found it a completely usele...

I knew what the final was going for but no way was I digging out 'C.' (the '1' part seemed obvious). As much as I wish we could lawyer 'atlas' as an acceptable answer, it's not like alphanumeric was used as a TOM...

I would reserve the term medical professional for physicians and refer to the broader panoply of nurses, dentists, chiropractors, optometrists, etc. as health care professionals.

So you're okay with a "health care professional" performing a root canal?
