Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Re: The Ultimate QoD Challenge -- Week 7, Monday/Tuesday
A couple of holiday stumpers in the mix here...
"Make the Connection"
1. FIAT / INDIANAPOLIS / FORTUNE / 499
They all come before 500. Fiat 500, Indianapolis 500, Fortune 500, and 499 naturally comes before 500. I couldn't get this one past most of you.
2. LAWN / BLUE MOUNTAIN / OAKMONT PLUM / PETER J. CAMIEL
Service plazas on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
3. HEATHER O'ROURKE / JOHN CANDY / BRANDON LEE / VIC MORROW
People who died before the completion of their final film.
4. LASER / STAR / FINN / 470
Classes of sailing at the Summer Olympics.
5. WILKIE COLLINS / SHERLOCK HOLMES / FAWLTY TOWERS / PESTO
Basil. Wilkie Collins' second novel was called Basil.
6. SALUKI / CARDINAL / WOLVERINE / PALMETTO
It looks like university mascots, but that answer falls apart when you get to Palmetto. These are actually names of Amtrak routes.
7. CAN-CAN / 12 O'CLOCK / COASTER / MONO
Nobody knew that these were alternate names for a wheelie.
8. SUNNY BAUDELAIRE / JEROME MCELROY / PRIMO / JACK TRIPPER
Fictional chefs. Sunny Baudelaire was the youngest child in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, Jerome McElroy was the real name of Chef on "South Park", and Primo was the chef played by Tony Shaloub in "Big Night".
9. HUGO GRISETTE / MAIZE / 1980 CLASH HIT / THERE AIN'T NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH
The name of the grisette in Victor Hugo's Les Miserables was Fantine. Maize is another name for corn. The Clash hit the Top 40 in 1980 with "Train in Vain". "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch" is also known by the acronym TANSTAAFL. If you figured that out, then the connection is obvious: Bored Buddy names.
10. BARBERSHOP / RAVEN / DRINKER / MONTY HALL
Paradoxes.
"The Fourth Element"
1. 2002: JAPAN & SOUTH KOREA / 2006: GERMANY / 2010: SOUTH AFRICA / 2014: BRAZIL
Host nations of the FIFA World Cup in chronological order.
2. #4: BABY I LOVE YOU / #3: FREEWAY OF LOVE / #2: SPANISH HARLEM / #1: RESPECT or I KNEW YOU WERE WAITING (FOR ME)
Aretha Franklin songs that peaked at #4, #3, #2, and #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
3. ECCLESTON / TENNANT / SMITH / CAPALDI
Chronological order of surnames of the portrayers of Doctor Who. Peter Capaldi just recently took over the role for Matt Smith.
4. ALEXANDER THE GREAT / JULIUS CAESAR / CHARLEMAGNE / DAVID
Supposed representations of the four kings in a deck of cards, increasing in suit.
5. 400: KENTUCKY / 300: GEORGIA / 200: WASHINGTON, D.C. / 100: NEW YORK
Locations for ZIP Codes 400xx, 300xx, 200xx, and 100xx.
6. CURRENT FLAG OF IRAQ / CURRENT FLAG OF THE U.S.A. / CURRENT FLAG OF CANADA / FORMER FLAG OF LIBYA
National flags in decreasing order of colors. "Current flag of Libya" will not be accepted because its solid green flag was discontinued in 2011. Its current flag is this. I wanted to see how many people would catch my little trap.
7. THE BOOK OF / THE BEGINNING OF / FORASMUCH AS MANY / IN THE BEGINNING
It was another Bible question. The first three words of the four Gospels of the KJV Bible.
8. SHUFFLED OFF HIS MORTAL COIL / RUN DOWN THE CURTAIN / JOINED THE BLEEDING CHOIR INVISIBLE / EX-PARROT
It was another John Cleese question. The final four death euphemisms in Monty Python's "Pet Shop sketch".
9. 14 / 15 / 92 / 65
The first 8 digits to the right of the decimal point in pi.
10. JEROBOAM / METHUSELAH / SALMANAZAR / BALTHAZAR
Champagne bottles of 3, 6, 9, and 12 liters.
5/26 + 5/27 Scores (8 participants)
Bob Juch - 18 + 36 = 54

"Make the Connection"
1. FIAT / INDIANAPOLIS / FORTUNE / 499
They all come before 500. Fiat 500, Indianapolis 500, Fortune 500, and 499 naturally comes before 500. I couldn't get this one past most of you.
2. LAWN / BLUE MOUNTAIN / OAKMONT PLUM / PETER J. CAMIEL
Service plazas on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
3. HEATHER O'ROURKE / JOHN CANDY / BRANDON LEE / VIC MORROW

Classes of sailing at the Summer Olympics.
5. WILKIE COLLINS / SHERLOCK HOLMES / FAWLTY TOWERS / PESTO
Basil. Wilkie Collins' second novel was called Basil.
6. SALUKI / CARDINAL / WOLVERINE / PALMETTO
It looks like university mascots, but that answer falls apart when you get to Palmetto. These are actually names of Amtrak routes.
7. CAN-CAN / 12 O'CLOCK / COASTER / MONO
Nobody knew that these were alternate names for a wheelie.
8. SUNNY BAUDELAIRE / JEROME MCELROY / PRIMO / JACK TRIPPER
Fictional chefs. Sunny Baudelaire was the youngest child in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, Jerome McElroy was the real name of Chef on "South Park", and Primo was the chef played by Tony Shaloub in "Big Night".
9. HUGO GRISETTE / MAIZE / 1980 CLASH HIT / THERE AIN'T NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH
The name of the grisette in Victor Hugo's Les Miserables was Fantine. Maize is another name for corn. The Clash hit the Top 40 in 1980 with "Train in Vain". "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch" is also known by the acronym TANSTAAFL. If you figured that out, then the connection is obvious: Bored Buddy names.
10. BARBERSHOP / RAVEN / DRINKER / MONTY HALL
Paradoxes.

National flags in decreasing order of colors. "Current flag of Libya" will not be accepted because its solid green flag was discontinued in 2011. Its current flag is this. I wanted to see how many people would catch my little trap.
7. THE BOOK OF / THE BEGINNING OF / FORASMUCH AS MANY / IN THE BEGINNING
It was another Bible question. The first three words of the four Gospels of the KJV Bible.
8. SHUFFLED OFF HIS MORTAL COIL / RUN DOWN THE CURTAIN / JOINED THE BLEEDING CHOIR INVISIBLE / EX-PARROT

Court to Decide Whether Guru Is Dead or Just "In Deep Meditation"
I'm not necessarily saying that. I'm just saying that "he's not dead, he's just resting" is an argument that, historically, has not been all that persuasive.
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
