Re: Of Trains and Bears

"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."

<grin> While I agree with the final sentiment, I was
meaning to say that Paddington was an *easy* question, at
least for me. Perhaps only because I possess the stuff
version of the globetrotting bear... ;)
