Hey Chris, you can count me in.

I may end up lookin' stupid, but hey---I have no work to do lately at my job, so why not goof around, huh?

Cool. Now I'll wait like one more day. If we can get one more person, it would be best, but if we don't we'll manage somehow! :D

Does that just mean what language is spoken the most?

Nevermind my question... I'm gonna say Chinese Mandarin.

Wait a minute! Loophole, loophole!! :nonono:

That was my first answer... :( but I changed it cause during my research, I found this at Sally's bio at www.sallyjr.com:

"And survive she has. Before launching her signature television show on Oct. 17, 1983, which aired locally in St. Louis and was then offered for national syndication six months later, Raphael had a long and adventurous career in television and radio."

I plead the Research Amendment! :lol: I saw 17 seasons from the IMDB cause it stated 1985, but I went with what her bio says cause I took that as meanin' it was the same show, just changed to a broader format.

This may not get me anywhere, but I just don't like to give up without a good :boxing:

:lol:

Judges? :)

Think mountain for high and Sea for low. I'll give you one more shot. :)

Lowest Point in Africa

Lake Assal, Djibouti: 512 feet / 156 meters below sea level


Highest Mountain in Africa

Kilimanjaro, Tanzania: 19,340 feet / 5995 meters

Okay, I'll give it to you. IMDB.com is where I got my info from so, I guess you're right! :D

And Kristina, the answer was Mt. Everest in Nepal and the Dead Sea in Israel. Sorry, but thanks for playing. You can have Byron's yacht. :D
http://www.latigo.net/images/yacht.jpg

Oh thank you Chris, thank you! :D

*bows down, kisses feet of game show host* :notworthy

Enjoy the yacht, Kristen---I haven't sailed on it yet, just looked at it. Seems to be in pretty good shape. ;)

:( I knew I was too blonde to play.

No you named the right stuff, but i wanted the highest and lowest of the world, not just Africa. I liked you answer though. :)

Okay, round three and we have three players! And the questions are really hard.

Jeff: In geography, how many countries in the world begin w/ the letter R?

Jenny: In History, what was the largest Empire, stretching from Eastern China all the way to the Mediterranean Sea?

Byron: In Literature, Shakespeare wrote three kinds of plays. He wrote Comedies, Tragedies, and _______. What was the third genre?

GOOD LUCK! :D :D :D

#2 - Jennylee - The Mongol Empire?

YES!!!! Good Job! I hope I'm challenging you enough! The next round will be more difficult! But way to go! :D :D :D

Three Countries...

Romania
Russia
Rwanda

well am I right?

Oh shoot, I know this, too! :eek: I had a Shakespeare class in college a couple of years ago, argh!! No no, I refuse to give in and research! I will remember it... :mad:

Hmmmmmmmm...:rolleyes:

Comedies, tragedies, and--and...dang it, it's 2 words, I know that! I think it's "_____ plays". Grrrr, I can't remember!

*SIGH*

Looks like I'll have to give in and research. :(

Wait, wait!! :idea: Is it "Miracle Plays"?! Oh now I have to go and confirm...

*researches*

OMG, by Chris, I think I've got it! WOO-HOO!! And I remembered it before I looked it up, oh, I'm so proud---ya know how they always say, "You learn so many things in school you never need,"

Well Chris, I never needed "Miracle Plays" from my college Shakespeare course until right now! :lol:

Thanks for makin' me use the ol' noggin! :D

*ridiculously thrilled* :dance:

Um...I dunno. :confused:

Of course you are!!! :D :D :D :D

And I'm kind of debating on your answer Byron. I learned the answer in my Freshman English class and my teacher said "Histories" was the third genre. That's what Julius Ceasar would have classified under.

But then I went to look to see if your answer was right and looked at the genres. Well I got Comedies Tragedies, and Problem Plays. So I would have accepted either answer.

But you said YOU learned it and looked up the answer. Hmmmm.......I'll accpet it if you post a link to where you found it and I see myself, but if I can't find it, then I'll have to keep Problem Plays or Histories as the answer, and you'll have to be dropped. :(

Just post the proof and we'll see if you'll be ready to go on to the next round. :D

If not, then well, here's your prize.

You want proof, you got it! :D I just searched it on Google, and it listed some sites (and it also says "Morality Plays" in a few---that may be what I was actually thinkin' of, though "Miracle Plays" is also an answer):

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=shakespeare+miracle+plays

Dang it, I can't get my link to work right---not sure what it is, but I have to run for work now---just type that in, or search "Shakespeare miracle plays" at Google---that's what I did.

This seems to be the most complex, argued answer yet---why do ya always stick me with these? :mad:

:joke:

Actually I think it's kinda funny, :lol:

Well, hope this works for me! :)

Okay, I'll accept I'll accept. But I'll have to take the car back.

http://www.customleasequote.com/imagetp/cars/Ferrari.jpg

I always accept these loopholes. If I bend backwards anymore, I'll look like a croquet wicket. Well, the new questions will be posted in a couple hours. Enjoy your free time while you have it. MWUAHAHAHAHA!!!

:joke:

*PHEW*

Thank you, thank you O Wonderful Game Show Host! :notworthy

And hey, no sweat on the car---(unless you're sweaty). I just got me a new GREEN SUV last Friday! I am totally in love!!

Yea. You all are doing really great so far. Those questions I made up so far from what I knew. Now I'm gonna post questions that are harder, so I'm gonna do some more research now! And if you liked that red car, wait til you see what the GRAND PRIZE is! :D

Okay, round 4! And these questions are HARD. Trust me! I did research! Ready? Okay! :D

Jeff - In U.S. presidents, what did the S in Harry S. Truman stand for?

JennyLee - In Sports, who was the only basketball player to score 100 points in a single NBA game?

Byron - In History, Who said the phrase "I came, I saw, I conquered?"

Good Luck!!! ;)

Okay after looking forever I finally found the answer! lol it seemed like such an easy question. Anyways heres the answer...

The "S" did not stand for any name but was a compromise between the names of his grandfathers, Anderson Shipp Truman and Solomon Young.


So am I dumber than a box of rocks or am I right?? :happyface

#2 - JennyLee - Is it Wilt Chamberland?:confused:

Okay, okay! I'm here! I'm sorry! :lol: My travels-all-over-the-world best friend came to visit me yesterday and spent the night, and since I rarely see him, I wasn't online.

Great, and now everybody's sittin' here with their arms crossed, tappin' their feet, waitin' for me! :eek:

Ummmmmmm...

I just asked George (he's still here), and he said right off the top of his head---and I now say---

"Julius Caesar".

Well?

Nope you better find him and tell him it's wrong.

:joke:

It's right and you better thank him!!! Anyway, new questions will be posted in about an hour or two.

Argh! You tricked me! :mad: I actually fell for your "Nope, better tell him he's wrong" bit. :lol:

And I even looked it up myself after he told me and before I read your reply---God, how dense and gullible am I? :blush:

Don't answer that! :lol: ;)

We're waaaaiiiiting Chris. *taps foot* LOL JK

Yeah, now who's holdin' things up, huh?... :lol:

:joke:

:D

Now, Now Chris........ Don't be too hard on us. :confused:

Round 5 is here! :dance: :dance: Round 5 is here!

Jeff: In Language, what does the Latin proverb "caveat emptor" mean?

JennyLee: In Science, what does the acronym REM stand for?

Byron: In Games, what is the British name for the game of checkers?


:D :D :D GOOD LUCK!!! :D :D :D

#2 - Jennylee - Nucleonics???

Originally posted by JennyLee22

Well, REM is abbreviated and stands for something, like BTW stands for by the way. I'll give you another chance. Hm...I should have specified that, oh well. Now ya know! Good Luck!

Rapid eye movement?

Let the buyer beware. Buyer must ensure that goods about to be purchased are free from defects.

Well??

Yea, those are both right! :clap:

Hm Jeff.......ya seem to be having an easy time at this. I need to find harder questions to ask you.

Whew............... Thanks Chris!

:joke:

:D :D :D

I try to mix up questions, but I guess you always end up w/ hard ones that I think are easy! LOL I'll have the questions in like and hour. Honest!

Now for round 6. And the toughest questions I came up w/ yet! Good Luck!

Jeff: In geography, what country is the world's third largest city located in? (Also give me the name of the city and it's population.)

JennyLee: In chemistry, what is the last element (from the periodic table of elements) aplhabetically?

Byron: In science, what is the study of Aerology?

Ahem...

According to my sources,

"Aerology is a branch of meteorology involving observation and research of the atmosphere by means of balloons, radiosondes, airplains etc. Air temperature, atmospheric pressure, air humidity and wind are the basic and most often measured factors. Aerology concerns the observation and research of ozone, radioactivity and some components of long wave radiation."

:)

#2 - JennyLee - Is it ZR - Zirconium 40??? :confused: :eek: :confused:

Yea JennyLee! :clap:

And Byron, I misspelled the word. I mean "What is the study of Areology" not Aerology. :blush: I feel so embarrassed!

Country: South Korea
City: Sŏul (Seoul)
Population: 20400000

yay or nay?

Um...I'm gonna change your question because there are so many sites w/ different things posted as population and population always grows, so it's almost impossible. Here's your new question.

Jeff: In geography, what is the largest city in land area in the USA?

nvm i'll reply later

Yea, I thought that was way too hard for anyone. And BTW that is the wrong answer. But Since I put you through so much, I can give you a hint.

*Think land area, not population. Do some research and you'll be pleasantly surprised. ;)

Okay I'm 99% sure this is right. lol.

Is it Juneau, Alaska??

If I'm wrong you could send me off now lol since I've had like 3 chances.

:lol: Yes that's right. I just have to wait for Byron (again :lol: ) and then I can start round 7.
