One other (very) slightly intriguing coincidence...

I was the 4th person to win a million points at DCA (and the first to win the cruise, rather than the trip to NYC)...and the 4th to win here.

wow, that's a cool coincidence. I just found out that they took away the Millionaire attraction at both MGM and DCA, I wish I'd gone when I had the chance, I didn't know about it until recently

Well, to make you feel even worse, I was also the 32nd winner there.

But I missed out on my chance to be the only bicoastal winner when I missed a 500,000 point question at MGM.

I'm not sure when I'll be able to host another game, maybe my co-host NellyLunatic would like to host the next game if she wants.

I have tickets to see real Millionaire again, and I'm auditioning, wish me luck...I'm going to need it.

That's incredible! Have you tried to get on the actual show, you'd be great. No wonder you won a Million on my little game. I'm sure you'd be the next 250,000 dollar winner (In my opinon that's the new grand prize of the show, no one ever comes close to the Million on WWTBAM anymore, it's deppressing. The difficulty level on the question is substanlly different from Prime time to Syndicated. The proof is in that in 3 years Regis had like 12 Millionaires and in 5 years Meredith has had 2 Millionaire. This is the longest thing I've ever put in parenthesis, lol)

You've brought up a very touchy subject, Shade. We can't for the life of us figure out why KT hasn't been selected as a contestant for the show.

He made a great Jeopardy contestant, though.

Kind of an odd question. Not really clear exactly what constitutes the difference between a town and a city. And there is more than one Middlesex in the US. I suspect there may be others around the world and perhaps one is indeed a city. A good sized borough by that name in New Jersey which is just another name for a town or city, isn't it?

Actually, Shade, I'm a Y-chromosome carrier.

But I do have another batch of questions ready to go for another lucky contestant...

Tomorrow (10/30/07) at 4 PM Eastern.

Hmm...perhaps you're right. I here by declare this game Null and Void *grabs the 1 Million dollar check and tears it up*

Seriously though, sorry about that, I'll try to keep the questions more clear cut. I looked online and I saw that it wasn't offically called a city so I just decided it would be a nice tricky question

Oh, I'm sorry. Well Jeopardy is great, he should be very happy about that. I'd love to appear on TV just once!

Oh, nothing touchy at all about the subject. I refuse to let those illegitemi get me carborundum.

I WILL get on someday. It may be after every other person in America's been on, but I'll be there.

But thx for the J! shout out!

I did consider Middlesex, NJ (not far from where I used to live), but I thought that might be a Township, rather than a city or even town. There is a Middlesex, NY, but it's not big at all (it's up in the Finger Lakes region). According to Wikipedia, there's also a Middlesex, VT and Middlesex, NC...but both are towns.

Jeff was the second person to win the cruise at DCA.

Middlesex, NJ is a borough, not a city.
