$ 100K: Wasn't there a question not long ago asking about Captain America being shot outside a courthouse? He was the only superhero to die recently, IIRC.

Regis introduces today’s ATE, best-selling author of fifteen novels including “ My Sister’s Keeper,” Jodi Picoult.

May not be bestselling much longer.

$4K: Didn't see this movie. ATA.

I was perfect on everything else. I'd be going for $250,000 with three lifelines.

100K: When Lost had a Green Lantern ref I read up on "what has happened to" my favorite superhero as a child, Green Lantern. So I knew it wasn't him. At least not as recently as I've read about, uh oh. But the whole point of the Green Lanterns is that a dying Green Lantern finds someone worthy anywhere in the universe to take over the ring. The Green Ring. And its always a him, historically. Hmm. I think the history since the 60s may have had a try at a female lantern, though. Gotta look this stuff up again.

At any rate "killed him off" doesn't work unless a Lantern dies without locating a successor 1st.

And I read a bunch of stuff about the Silver Surfer, of whom I was not previously aware, when the movie came out. Pretty sure it wasn't him.

ATA to see if audience "knows something I don't know".

Then double dip.
