"<grumble> It says right
on Paddington's bloody *tag* "Darkest Peru to
London, England via Paddington Station", fer crying out
loud! Is it just me and my insatiable love of "kiddie
lit", or the fact that the train from Oxford to London
pulls in at the aforementioned station that causes me
to know that?"

It's not. For some reason, a
few people who live around me (not all QBers) knew
that answer too. I've only been impressed by three
answers through the whole run of WWTBAM: the two stupid
answers for the $100 question, "Llamas" and "Blackbirds,"
and "Albino Luciani," which I thought to be the
answer to hardest question by far, but was only worth
$500,000. (I was especially impressed that Michael
Shutterly was able to name the other popes as well.) I
still congratulate Mr. Goodman. I'm sure that if I ever
got into the hot seat (and it would be after trying
to Win Ben Stein's Money), I'd end up with some $100
question about something that I would need to ask the
audience about.

JAK, who would get more out of
winning $5000 from Ben Stein than a million from Regis
