North Brunswick may be just close enough to New York to qualify as a WE®.

I sure hope that's a typo on the year.

$5K: I've never heard of these sandals. ATA. Wow, this is bad. I've had to use a lifeline on both of the $5,000 questions today.

I would have needed to ATA on the shoe question too. Never heard of these.

I've seen them, but didn't know what they were called.

But having seen them, only one answer made sense to me.

I'm guessing this is in WE® territory.

I am constantly amazed at the Biblical illiteracy of most people (particularly noticeable when J! has a Bible category). I'd have thought that almost everyone knew about Cain and Abel.

Well, the gladiators weren't "Greco"-Roman. Just Roman.

Well, given the ATA response, then yes, I think it would be safe to say that almost everyone knew about Cain and Abel.

Here's an article about Mark's first episode. Not much there that wasn't on the show, except for listing his PAF team.

Mindlin said that if he won he had a lot of plans for the money. They included paying off his school debt, saving for a house and taking a vacation.

Better not walk away in the middle tier, then!

Wasn't he on the prime time also?

No, his name doesn't appear as a ROFer in any of the prime time transcripts.

Wow! Now those are downright butt ugly.
