I had just the opposite impression. I expected it to focus on minutiae that only a fanatic would recall, but I got 5/6 from just watching most of the movies (admittedly, Captain Marvel was a lucky pull but it made sense once I saw it). The Stan Lee cameo question was more in line with what I was ex...

The NFL’s Washington franchise is retiring the “Redskins” team name. I'll take advantage of one of my last chances to use an old joke: Why do some people want to change the name of the Washington Redskins? Because they feel that the term "Washington" is offensive. So, apparently the intended replac...

From the main thread: The NFL’s Washington franchise is retiring the “Redskins” team name. The team has been called the Redskins since 1933 when its home was Boston. The team moved to Washington DC in 1937. The team is also expected to announce that it will keep the same burgundy and gold colors bu...

Giving the MCU ML a whirl. How do you remember Stan Lee's barber cameo...but not the -Tesseract-?!

It's a small comfort that my scoring actually did match up, more or less, with the overall correct % per clue at least.

More comforting was beering it.

*growls, crumples up recipe for Chicken a la Gink*

Needing a new background noise show, I started watching Street Food: Asia on Netflix, and it'll knock you under the floor if your drinking game involves taking a shot when the dub and sub don't match verbatim. The best is the Ho Chi Minh City episode (and I only just started it!) where the Vietnames...

They all got a daily double and all wagered an odd number in the hundreds position?...

Who cares about the math...I want to know why one can't sex a chicken?...Or is trying bound to get somebody in trouble these days...?... ;) Actually, chicken sexing is a big thing. You don't want cockerels (which grow up to be roosters since they can't lay eggs), so common practice is to take the d...

I went with sometimes because I have been dining in since the brewery reopened and that's more 'public.'

If it was just off outside >6' away from someone, I'd still say 'always'. I also don't wear it in the car while driving.

This is not really a poll. It's more of an informal query, but I welcome any feedback, private or public. Although as a freelancer I'm busier than ever during the pandemic, I have somehow also managed to be in a position to catch more news as it happens and post appropriate items to the Current Eve...

Wouldn't the individual probability of each subsequent fowl not being a rooster change though, and thus the overall probability of not picking a rooster be dependent on number of fowl? Example: If there are 20 hens/roosters to begin, there are 4 roosters and 16 hens. Say you've picked a hen to begi...

I'm not sure how easy it is to confirm this, but Carl Reiner might have been the last surviving cast member of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. If you believe iMDB, they already did the work...

My wife decided to buy chickens. She is hoping she doesn't end up with a rooster. She said the lot of birds the store gets their supply from claims 80% are hens. Since she bought 4 birds, I think the odds are 625:1 that one of them is a rooster. Am I correct? Trying to dust the cobwebs off this par...

Didn't the BWA duty get crowdsourced this time?

Yes. They still picked one of the lamest ones to win, though.

They can't all be winners, but still a better ratio this time.

Where are the BWAs being posted?

First time I can remember that I felt like there were more I would vote for than number of ones I could vote for. Some were actually funny.

Welp, nothing I can do to avoid being relegated...stupid monkey's paw. My fault was making my entire goal to pass my D-rundle win total. Nothing about not getting relegated.
