I took the test tonight, so I can become the next Ken Jennings. Who won a couple of million dollars and became somewhat of a household name.
There were 50 questions. And you had 15 seconds for each answer.
They were tough.
I did know some. Yes, I did.
I knew Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page were Led Zepplin, who reunited in 2007.
I knew Pearl Harbor Day is celebrated on December 7th.
I knew Jimmy Stewart played a wheelchair-bound photographer in Hitchcock's "Rear Window."
But my Shakespere is lousy. I don't even know how to spell his name. Shakespeare. There! Thank you spellcheck.
I didn't know the capital of Turkey. Gibletssansibar is probably incorrect.
And my knowledge of current tv shows is null and void. Ask me about "Father Knows Best;" "Gilligan's Island;" or "Sky King," and I'd be good to go. Alas, it wasn't meant to be. Or "Fury" with Bobby Diamond.
I just want to say it one time. "Let's make it a true daily double, Alex!"
