In which case it seems odd that I got points for it - I remember the "overly specific" rule but by this logic anyone could have named any characteristic applying to just one of each set (e.g. "born in Poland" for the Nobel winners) and gotten maximum points for the round. -- _______________________________________________________________________ Dan Blum tool@panix.com "I wouldn't have believed it myself if I hadn't just made it up." |

| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Jan 08 02:29AM -0600 Mark Brader: > Joshua, and Erland. > Respectively performed by: Huey Lewis and the News, Céline Dion (the > original version was by Jennifer Rush), Frankie Goes to Hollywood. By the way, the song sung by Dion came up on "Jeopardy!" in Tuesday, which is to say, when there were just a few hours remaining to enter this set. It was a category on "Her First #1 Hit", and players had to name the singer. The $800 question was "The Power of Love (1994)". It was answered correctly on the first try. If Wikipedia is correct, Jennifer Rush's version of the song was released in 1984 and was not close to a #1 hit in the US; the songs sung by men, of course, were irrelevant to the category. -- Mark Brader | "... a movement is already under way to declare December 7 Toronto | an annual legal holiday in commemoration of the opening of msb@vex.net | hostilities." -- Ring Lardner, New York Times, 1931 My text in this article is in the public domain. |
