I think it's very understandable. In that position, I'd probably do the same, or something close to it.

Well, as an out-of-copyright book there are probably a bunch of different audiobook versions of "The Moonstone." The one I listened to does indeed have different narrators.

I can't stand the "full cast audiobooks" where different actors read the dialogue with a separate narrator doing the "he said" and connecting text, but multiple narrators are wonderful if the book is written that way.

The main thing I remember feeling was stunned. When I watched the game later, I was thankful that I had applauded when the new champ was announced, because I didn't remember if I had done that or not--I remember thinking that I shouldn't go anywhere until my microphone was disconnected and that I should try not to fall off my podium. After they moved us over to the chat area, the former champion had a nice discussion with Alex and I don't think I said a word, which was OK because of the stunned.

The clue writers messed up on the ionizing/non-ionizing question; it should have been just "radiation", not "electromagnetic radiation".

It was probably written as (electromagnetic) radiation on the card. EM is a correct response but radiation would (should, at least) have been accepted.

From the link: "The two types of ionizing radiation are particulate (alpha, beta, neutrons) and electromagnetic (x-rays, gamma rays) radiation." EM is overly specific. I guess technically OSHA warns against EM ionizing radiation, but that's misleading phrasing.

A former high school classmate of mine who lives in Cleveland decided to mock me today by posting a picture of this painting where it is currently on display at the Cleveland Museum of Art along with the name of the artist. Now she tells me!!!!!!
