Typo corrected. It was 1894, not 1984. We, and Big Brother, regret the error.

Doesn't seem like a good analogy to me. You can't bluff on WWTBAM. And losing one hand sends you home.

With that last name, it's no surprise he was defeated by an animal question. He's lucky he didn't leave with just $0.

So far, so good.

Cheese is made from milk and all of these are mammals, so they are possible. But knowing what jennies are makes this easy.

Nihil obstat®.
