Re: Alert

(totally made up fact) Of all the actresses ever to play one of Charlie's Angels, who's the only one who could speak 19 languages fluently? You've discovered an amazing factoid- you just HAVE to ask about it. You'd add "hyphen alert" making research virtually unnecessary? Phil once wrote a...

Re: I have to give my middle finger the middle finger

oh duh I totally misread. Still, an apostrophe doesn't exist in the answer box (why all possessive answers must assume it). The system automatically deletes it. Very little punctuation is ok, in fact. - and / is about it.

Re: I have to give my middle finger the middle finger

Right- I know you don't know now, but you will when you can edit. Although you need, at minimum a "?" at the end or it won't go.

Re: I have to give my middle finger the middle finger

Let me know what you actually entered. I'm curious, because I don't think apostrophes are accepted. And blanks are not.

Re: 1-letter Forsake going out to eat

Staley essentially explained it perfectly. The easiest way to look at it is to remove all spaces, punctuation, etc. Consider only the letters. dinein divide it in two din ein Between the two halves, only ONE LETTER changes- on this one, it happens to be the first one (d in the first, e in the second...

Re: 1997 Yankees games

Re: Capital Punishment

In how many countries is it currently possible to be convicted of a capital crime. (conviction = death)

I got the number from two different citations during this whole OK imbroglio.

Gongola gondola

I might've had a prayer-in-hell of getting this before the hint if I hadn't double brain-spazzed. I was scanning WEST Nigeria for possible names that could ANAGRAM into a boat. Now, getting the question style correct wouldn't have helped, but I'm thinking that had I been looking in the east as I sho...
