[quote name=\'whoserman\' date=\'Jul 24 2003, 06:17 PM\'] That's what i kind of figured. That's why I posted the "stupid question" disclaimer. But it really drives me up the wall when people say my question is stupid, and don't back it up clearly. [/quote]
 You asked if it was stupid. I answered. I THEN backed it up by citing Thom McKee as an example, and really, the most blatant one. The REASON I didn't say more, frankly, is because I didn't feel I should have to; not knowing who Thom McKee is, in the context of this group, is roughly akin to going into a baseball group and asking \"What did Babe Ruth ever do that was so friggin' important?\"

So if you don't want people saying your questions are stupid, you have two options:

1) Don't ask stupid questions.

2) If you insist on continuing (1), at least PRETEND to think it's a legitimate question, because we'll be more than happy to help you figure it out if you're not sure.

ok. deal.

On the contrary - wouldn't the better players be more likely to get obscure FJs correct?  FJs should be easier if you want to prevent long runs.  For example, who would be more likely to know that there was no US Vice-President in 1964?

Relating to this topic, I have heard that the participants in the next Tournament of Champions will be determined by how many days he or she has reigned as champion.

For some reason, I still see a flaw in this schematic.

 Well... elaborate.
