Lysine.. lotta Jurassic Park fans here, enh?
Can't believe I spent so much time deliberating the Grammy one. I not only got a singleton, but I was considering 6 other unused ones. My expertise falls in a different era, I guess!

What was the deal on Miss Universe? I thought the U.S. would be a sure fire sheep. I guess Brazil is known for hot women, but Venezuela? I had no clue and took the safe route and went with the home team.

BTW, am I misremembering? Didn't the original game post claim 16 answers for the POTUS-placer question? I only just now noticed because I went to see how many of the 16 I got right (8 of them; was happy I got half) and saw there were now 17 answers.
Miss Universe was a lucky guess, figuring any country in Scandinavia would work. (Not true, actually, but mine did.)

There was a small discussion on the Rumours album on here within the last month or two. That's the reason I stayed off of it. Graceland never hitting the top of the US chart just blows my mind.

I went back and looked, it peaked at number 3 on the weekly chart, yet was the 2nd highest selling album in 1987, which means it ranked high on the chart all year, it just never hit the top. Go Figure.
