BYU Broadcasting crew gets a shoutout (along with Delta Dental?) on HQ today.
Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Made it to q12 tonight. Seconds after clicking on the wrong answer I remembered the ancient ties between Italy and the bull. Yep, the name "Italy" is thought to have been derived from the word for "cow."
$161 dollar payout tonight.
Grr.

"They're good. They've always been good" - David Shaw.
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
After having not played for some weeks I gave it a go just now and won $5.43.
I may retire.
PLesa excuse the tpyos.

I play if I'm not doing anything. I missed Q12 on a day where the payout was over $100. Still fuming over it.

I recently had a very lengthy discussion at work where I explained in detail the correct plural form of the word "octopus." It's a bit of a trick question because it depends on what rule you want to follow to get the answer, begging the question somewhat, but at least some answers are unequivocally wrong.
If you start with the premise that you should use Greek declensions for Greek words, then the plural of octopus (οκτοπος) is octopodes (οκτοποδες). If you don't care about following the original language, you are a terrible human being, but once you accept the word "octopus" as an English word you could just use English rules for pluralization: "octopuses." Where people often go wrong is assuming octopus is a Latin word, and that a Latin masculine plural ends in -i, so the plural should be octopi. That is doubly wrong. "Octopus" is Greek, not Latin, and even if you were to use the Latin version of a Greek word, you would use the fourth declension, not the second, and so the plural of "octopus" as a Latin word is, in fact, "octopus." (Same thing goes for "syllabus," by the way. You can have two syllabuses, or you can have two syllabus, but you cannot have two syllabi. There is no such word.)
Useless knowledge, you say? Not tonight. Thanks to this little tidbit of knowledge, the subject of tonight's Q12, I am now seven dollars and twenty-two cents richer. My education in classics is finally starting to pay off.

Sigh. Haven't played in a couple months and I choose to come back tonight for Boy Band night.
Yeah. Made it to Q6
