Very nice. It's the 13th constellation, between Scorpio and Sagittarius.

We call it the Hitler Channel.

Is that because they do too many World War II specials.

Ugh!

Well, I don't think it's Charles Darwin or Gregor "Give peas a chance" Mendel.

Also, having two German guys with the same first name, neither of whom I recall hearing about before, seems to confirm that it must be one of them.

So the question is whether I:
1) Risk it on a 50% chance,
2) Use my PAF, who will doubtlessly get it right, or
3) Switch the Question

Hmmm...

+ Switch the Question

The host always likes to remind people of there life lines

Tough call though.

I've decided that I won't use STQ.

More in a jiffy

I've never been a PAF......I'm just sayin'

He's probably checking to see if his potential lifelines are busy folding laundry.

I will "Phone A Friend", since I think it is the safest way to progress.

I will call Julie (PSM)

One ringy-dingy...

Two ringy-dingies...

Three ringy-dingies...

Wilhelm Johannsen abbreviated the term to "gene" ("gen" in Danish and German) two decades after Hugo de Vries called it a pangen.

He's probably related in some way to Scarlett Johannsen.

You're phone a friend seemed confident.



But I as the annoying host should remind you, you still have STQ

Did Jeff lose his connection or is he folding the laundry?

He also created the words phenotype and genotype

With that eminently researched and erudite response,
I will go with C. William Johannsen, Final Answer.

You are correct, good job PlacentiaSoccerMom aka Julie

Believe it or not, he does sometimes fold laundry.

It's really cute when he thinks that Emma's underwear is mine.

OMG! A sports-related question that I actually think I can figure out.

Arizona has the Diamondbacks MLB team.
Utah has the Jazz NBA team (right?).
Isn't there a football team called the Tennessee Titans?
Connecticut has the Hartford Whalers NHL team.

Uh oh! That doesn't seem to be helping me out. Maybe I am just wrong, or one of these teams no longer exists.

Let me think a bit more.

He sorts it too? I'm impressed. My kids would fold the clothes but leave them all stacked together in the laundry basket for me to sort out to the rightful owner.

We used to live in both Connecticut and Arizona.

So, let's look a bit closer.

The key must be that one of these teams no longer exists, although I think they all did at one point.

The Diamondbacks were recently in the World Series, so they probably still exist. The Titans are a very new NFL team, so they should probably still exist too. I think I have heard some news about the Utah Jazz within the last couple of years. But I haven't heard anything about the Whalers since we moved away from Connecticut in 1999.

I will bite the bullet and go with A. Connecticut, Final Answer
