geebsSporcle quizzes:
Famous Foursomes- 71/80, not so bad. I had no idea on the tarot card suits one, I drew a blank on half the SaTC chyx, missed one of the Marx brothers and half the Monkees. Though the Monkees one was BS because they would only accept the whole name or the last name, but not the first name. I don't know all their last names!
Famous Foursomes 2. This one I did worse on, only 57 out of 80. Wizard of Oz gang, Ghostbusters, Pac Man Ghosts, Hogwarts Houses, and A-team members were gimmies. The Original Kings of Comedy (hey, aren't half of them dead now?), I missed one, and it was annoying because I got the one who didn't have his own TV show named after him, so I was struggling to remember that third show but couldn't get it to spring to mind. But I also missed one of the Baldwins and one of the Little Women (though the 3 I got were because of Burst Angel. Why the hell didn't they name the 4th chick on that one of the other girls?!). I didn't even know there were four Bronte sisters, I though there was just the two. Surprisingly, I did know one of the Led Zeppelin members (though I did know the other, I just didn't know I knew until I saw the answers.
TV Commentary:
In Plain Sight- That was a pretty interesting ep last night. That was a nice little twist, that the guy's design was indeed flawed. I mean, the shoddy material contributed, but it just sped the failure along. Talk about a drama queen though. He can't go from a person who's always right to someone who's always wrong. Okay, so he admits he can be a bit arrogant sometimes, humility is a good thing. But "always wrong"? Its like geez, you made a mistake, that doesn't mean everything you ever did in your life is wrong. I mean, maybe his bridges might be flawed, I'm sure there are things he has done right!
The end does have me curious though. I mean, Marshall knew the guy was going to blow up the bridge no matter what. But in real life, would one catch hell for just running away like that? He had a dead man's switch, so they couldn't really subdue him. (Maybe they could've tasered him, the shock causes the muscles to contract, so he's not letting go of the detonator, that prolly could've given one enough time to grab the detonator for him) I just don't see what else you could really do in that situation. But it also seems like in such situations, we don't want to see the police "give up". So it just seems weird to have a guy ready to blow himself up like that, and giving the authorities no choice but to run away. I'm sure if this was a real situation, they would have to answer questions and wot not because it seems they always look to assign blame in such situations (since they failed to prevent the guy from killing himself/blowing up something) though I'm guessing since the guy doesn't have loved ones who would be looking to sue and no one else got hurt (and it didn't seem to be that major a bridge), its not that big a mess?
