I don't really care about the accumulated points except for this game. But there are some NTN players who have something like 90 million points, which is impossible. We think they got them through glitches in the system when they transfer points to a new bar. I'm holding steady in the 120's but I think there are some who will answer their backlogged q's later today. And congrats to suitguy/confessor tandem.

It's possible to have 90 million points on NTN; it's been twenty years since they started. You'd pretty much have to not have a life to get that many though.

......but how do you explain my Johannes Gutenberg question two days ago?
My question today was who sang the theme song to "Happy Days"?

I think the answer to this is Pratt and McClain. Or something like that. Unless they meant the singer of the original theme song, which was Rock Around the Clock by Bill Haley and his comments.

I have no clue what this thread is about, btw. I really need to keep up with the bored better, I guess!

Starfish, some of us are playing TTQOTD (The Trivia Question Of The Day) on a website called sploofus:

http://www.sploofus.com/

There are other trivia games but I only play TTQOTD. If you register and look at the leader boards you will see some familiar handles.....tmitsss, and the confessor are in the top ten this morning. I am back in the top 100 along with weyoun. Cal and psm are playing too. There was a mystery player called wwtbam who may or may not be a bb. Everyone gets one question a day. The quicker you answer, the more points you accumulate. Everyone gets a different question.

Thanks, Uly! I just entered and answered my first question correctly (a definite gimmie). It seemed like I answered it very quickly but it said it took me 5.79 seconds, which was surprising. I need to know to be absolutely ready to read and respond next time, I guess!

And congrats to ear who just passed me and to the stealthy or just late-answering cal.
