1. Scoring three days' worth in a row is starting to make my head hurt, and I'm confident that I made some mistakes - most likely is that I either misvalued some of your right answers or missed a few of your answers entirely. I'm officially asking everyone to make your answers a little more obvious to me. The ideal thing is that you list your answer, after the question, in bold. Next best is the same thing except in caps (so maybe bold caps is really best ). Third best would be leaving the questions out altogether and just leaving your answers, with "passes" for the ones you're not answering (Though I swear to god I sometimes forget the questions from person to person, so it's comforting to me to see them every time). I don't like just the answers to the questions you're answering, since if you answer the $200 and $1000 questions I'm likely to score it as the $200 and $400. Again, this is a request, not a demand.

2. Because of the above, plus because there were a few questions where my decisions might be controversial, the Game 2 scores may change a little bit. Watch this space, and the QOD 1/16 space, for updates to people's scores.

3. If you post your FJ wager today, and some scores change, you may post a new wager. Tomorrow's game is open until Midnight Thursday, and you can post your FJ wager in tomorrow's game, but only if you do so before I post the FJ question.

4. I'll list the Game 2 scores, because they tell you how much you have available to bet, and the total scores, because they might be relevant to how much you want to wager.

And here is the actual QOD for today:

Jeopardy round: "I can eat glass, it doesn't hurt me" Explanation: at some point, some wiseacre on the web decided to translate a phrase into as many languages as possible, and he (obviously it has to have been a he) didn't want to be accused of having an ulterior motive because he was translating a useful phrase like "where's the bathroom" or "how do I get to my hotel" or "I promise I'll worship however you want me to if you stop beating me", so he went with "I can eat glass, it doesn't hurt me". I'll list some of the translations; your job is to come up with the language

$200 - Vitrum edere possum; mihi non nocet.
Latin

$400 - Transliteration: Ya mogu yest' steklo, eto mnye nye vredit
Russian?
As written:


$600 - Posso comer vidro, não me fere.
Nope

$800 - Nakakakain ako ng salamin; hindi naman ako masasaktan.
Nope

$1000 - Transliteration:
HIvje' mep vISoplaH. mu'oy'moHbe'
Nope

Double Jeopardy Round: "Song Lyrics You Don't Hear Very Often"

There is a reason I don't play Lyrically Speaking and using the catergory of song lyrics you don't hear very often isn't likely to make my chances any better...

$400 - On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes
Star Spangled Banner from the start of the second verse.

$800 - Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
Suicide is Painless from M*A*S*H

$1200 - And your shrink ran off to Europe and didn't even write
And your husband wants to be a girl
Nope

$1600 - This tune appears to have been written without lyrics, but others have supplied them - popular sets include "Comet, it makes your mouth turn green..." and one about the sexual equipment of WWII German leaders.
Colonel Bogey March that I recall best from both "The Bridge on the River Kwai" and the Comet lyrics you note.

$2000 - Lead me there, anywhere, I don't care
Cannot stop and I won't stop 'til you're mine
Nope
