No, that's the one where they found broken stone tablets. And they were near the foot, not way up high.

Fun fact: the off-Broadway musical of Clueless was a financial success but met with mixed to negative reviews and never made it to the Great White Way.

I checked that I saw The Paper Chase movie, but in reality I watched the TV series. I was a big fan of John Houseman.

Tyrannosaurus Rex on Monday.
Had Moliere after time was up on Tuesday.
Kilimanjaro on Friday.

I've seen Clueless and Legally Blonde. I knew The Paper Chase was about a law school.
I would prefer not to.
