Finally cracked the Top 100 All Time Leaderboard, with 7.2 billion points. Watch out, RevDodd(#93), I"m coming for ya!

For a brief moment I am at #4 on TQOTD...only because its morning here in Deutschland while everyone else won't see the question for the 5th for a few more hours. I'll savor it while I can...

Yeah, me too and it was a movie question too. :( It was badly worded. Something like: the ending scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark (which I saw just last Saturday) was an homage to the ending of which film? The correct answer was Citizen Caine, but that wasn't the very last scene. :x

They apparently meant the vast warehouse scene in Ark. I don't recall it, but there was a similar scene in Caine near the end.

4 of 5 for me, too.

Not bad considering I was 2 for 3.

Easy Sports Soup today, but I was surprised to see less than 38.1% of Sploofusers know Jackie Robinson's number (or even the first digit of the number).

I think you should start a Sploofus Mutiny.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

It's interesting, I had Gold Membership and I haven't had a chance to renew it. Maybe it's bad karma, once my membership expired, that's when I started missing questions.
