Yay! Eddington's show finally aired!

$8K: Before the choices came up, I thought it was bananas. Since that's not there, I'll have to ask the audience. I've seen clumps of all of these foods, but I don't know which is called a "hand".

Oh, boy, a BB in the HS!!! Unfortunately the one time I really wanted to hear the banter, there wasn't any.[/quote]

Way to go, eddington!! I'm really looking forward to your return appearance, especially since there was such a long delay between the two tapings.

For me, it's nihil obstat® and I hope the rest of eddington's stack is the same for him.

Jim Cramer from "Mad Money" is his expert?? I can hardly wait to see why eddington used ATE for that question.

$8000 - Because it is grown in clumps that resemble palms and fingers, what flavorful ingredient is often sold in pieces known as "hands"?
A - garlic
B - scallion
C - jalapeno
D - ginger

Ditto with Nelly on thinking that bananas would show up, although I suppose they don't resemble palms as much as fingers. I could eliminate A and B easily enough. Probably would have burned the ATA, hoping for some consensus. If I survived that, i.e., they didn't durst me with C which was the way I was leaning, DD on C and D in that order

We have some ginger root on our kitchen counter right now. It in no way resembles a hand to me.
