I got this transcript typed in, and then the wireless on my computer conked out before I could post it. Look for all players to be entered Saturday morning.

Thanks to whomever entered the placeholders.

bumping this up

So her son is obsessed with trains and has a younger sister three years behind him. My sister is three years behind me and I'm... well not that obsessed with trains.

I found that last one quite tricky and would have left with the $1000 as she did. I guessed that Arafat would have been taken off the list after he died, although I forgot how long he was dead (Dead 2004). I wasn't sure exactly when Arafat shared the peace prize, I was only one year off (1994 for an event in 1993). I later looked up the question level, which would have been a hint that it required more than figuring out who among the four we would most likely label as a terrorist even after his winning the Peace Prize.

Wikipedia

Until July 2008 Mandela and ANC party members were barred from entering the United States—except to visit the United Nations headquarters in Manhattan—without a special waiver from the US Secretary of State, because of their South African apartheid government era designation as terrorists.[41][42]

I'm now thinking I heard of this.

My grandson is also a big Thomas fan.
