    Introvert or extrovert?

    I'm usually a bit shy and withdrawn, and an active social life isn't one of my strong traits, yet I like to spend quite a bit of time in the Crazy Thread for "alternative therapy" (it's much more preferable and cheaper than living on a "funny farm", loony bin, sanitarium, etc.). I do, however...

    The "You know what?" thread

    On August 1, 1981, MTV was launched with the Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star" as its first music video. Dire Straits' "Money For Nothing" video would give birth to the "I Want My MTV" catchphrase. By the mid-1990's, MTV would jump the shark and be a shadow of its former self, and one...

    Final Jeopardy response ruled unacceptable due to minor misspelling

    Under alternate circumstances: If Skyler, the first place contestant had wagered $30K and his answer was wrong, he might have dropped down to $3,600 and Thomas' $3,000 wager might have brought him up to $12,600 and won the match, and Skyler might have finished in second place. This is of...

    Final Jeopardy response ruled unacceptable due to minor misspelling

    If it was a spelling category where you have to verbally spell out the word, then it would be reasonably justified to rule "emanciptation" as incorrect beyond a shadow of a doubt, and I can understand when unnecessary extra information such as an extra letter or the inclusion of an incorrect...
