I'm impressed that the audience voted such a large percentage for the right answer. Of course the gila monster is the only poisonous lizard on the list.

Either A or B sounds plausible (more "offensive"), so I'd DD and make those my final answers.

Couldn't the writers have come up with better bluff answers than those three? Last I checked, none of them is poisonous... except for the gila monster.

From the comfort of my home, I picked the right answer. In the HS, I would've burned the ATA.

It is not a term used much nowadays. Almost no one refers to the operation as any thing but Desert Storm or simply the First Gulf War. As a result I guess that it is obscure enough to be a 15K Q. Ihave to think in PTBAM that would easily be third tier.

And why would anyone care if their "friends" of probably less than 24 hours gets to play???

On a regular episode of SyndieBAM, that would be a meaningless sentiment, since everyone in the green room is going to get their turn. On a theme week, that becomes a open question, depending on whether TPTB choose to invite any remaining contestants to appear on a regular episode, after Friday's show is done.
