Jeopardy! Geekery
Jun. 14th, 2007 09:46 pmYou know what one of the clues on Jeopardy! today was? The category was "Stellar Spellers," and you had to spell celestial things.
The clue: "We're not kidding. Spell the dog star."
You know why this clue is awesome?
1. The answer is Sirius.
2. I can spell Sirius. As can anyone who's ever read past the second Harry Potter book.
3. It makes a subtle pun about Sirius = serious. Which is the best pun ever. Siriusly.
And then I knew Final Jeopardy! too. Because it was about James Bond. And I lived with Kirstin Hendrix this year.

Date: 2007-06-18 02:41 am (UTC)About our birthdays, Phil has already requested the time off from work for that weekend, HOWEVER I would be sooooo depressed if we didn't do something to celebrate the fact that we have pretty much identical family histories. SO--let me check with my family's schedule (I'll try to get a definite date by tomorrow) and we'll work it out, sugarcake. (.........wait..... a cake made entirely out of sugar would probably be gross)
Also, about the emo thing--I dunno if'n ya wants to talk yet, but if you do, send me an e-mail or call or something. If not, no biggie. You know I got your back. I'm like a side-kick, actually. So.... I got .... your side. Yeah. I got your side. MmmHmmm *z-snap.*
Woo, there's a lot of caffeine in a Red Bull.

Love you!!!
