And we have our first WE® of 2008.

$8K: Never had a seven and seven, but I assume that the other "seven" refers to Seagram's 7.

Yup. My "sophisticated" drink of choice in college days. Another dream question gone. *sigh*

While in the pool, was reading Trivial Pursuit cards on the subway and one person asked her if she was trying to cheat on Trivial Pursuit. She explained that she was trying to get on WWTBAM.

Meredith's rejoinder was funny - she suggested it was Regis who accused her of cheating. FWIW when my friends found out I was going to be on BAM they bought both a Trivial Pursuit game and a BAM game and I read through all of the cards in both.

Hold on there! By definition a millipede has 1000 legs (as opposed to a centipede with 100). What happened to the other legs?

$8000- The cocktail known as a "seven and seven" is a blend of 7UP and a popular brand of what?
A. Gin B. Rum
C. Vodka D. Whiskey

She says she had ordered one and believed it was Gin. She went for it and left with $1000.

It's made with Segram's 7, which is a brown whiskey. If she'd ordered one, you'd think she would have known this.

Millipedes may literally be suppoed to have 1000 legs, but as a practical matter, they do not. They were probably first called millipedes to distinguish them from centipedes, which have half the number of legs per segment. I suppose they could have been called bicentipedes, but that would've just given the dirty minds of the world something to chortle about.

I knew that. It was a futile attempt at humor.

Oh.

Well, then.

They fell off because of the mass-square law.

My futile attempt trumps your futile attempt.

8K: I don't drink it, but I know Seagram's 7 is a whiskey. And if I did drink 7 & 7s, I'd make a point of knowing what was in them.
