I wonder which distractor was giving him trouble? My bet is that he didn't know who John Muir was.BBTranscriptTeam wrote: 1K - What famous naturalist is laid to rest in Rwanda under a grave marker that reads "No one loved gorillas more"?

I dunno, I kinda like the idea of "wireful" to describe a location with too many wires.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:500 - Which of these words cannot be turned into its own opposite by replacing "-less" with "-ful"?

In a non-carnal sense, I hope!BBTranscriptTeam wrote:1K - What famous naturalist is laid to rest in Rwanda under a grave marker that reads "No one loved gorillas more"?

I might have gone with "bed" for the same reason. Turns out it's the French word for "couch" (sofa).BBTranscriptTeam wrote:100 A Halley's comet

Did you really find this rejoinder to be so witty and amusing that you (a) actually laughed out loud, and (b) couldn't resist sharing it with the rest of us?earendel wrote:

Re: Transcript 2/26/08 Andrew Stacy
After the run-up in the bantering, it's too bad he didn't call the team of teachers at his school. For those who didn't see the show, he said they had prepared to issue a "Code Vieira" announcement on the school intercom, which was the signal for a group of teachers to gather for the PAF call. And, presumably, they had to do that as soon as the "in the Hot Seat" call arrived, since there's no time to do so when the real PAF call comes. But Justin was outside this school team.BBTranscriptTeam wrote: 25K - A type of finger food, canapes got their name from a French word literally meaning what?

OTOH, we've seen that team efforts over a speakerphone (or having one PAF repeat the Q&A to the others) can be a challenge, given the time constraints. This question--derivation of "canape"--at least had the advantage of brevity.
