A Jeopardy category, in Double Jeopardy, was "Marvel Comics Heroes". The category was run by the reigning champion, Ken. Here are the "answers" with their value. You can figure out the "questions" yourself. Hubby-Eric and I had no problem with the category either:
- $400 - The Incredible
- $800 - The Amazing
- $1200 - The Uncanny
- $1600 - The Man Without Fear
- $2000 - The Invincible
Yes, hubby-Eric and I are watching Jeopardy. Hubby says he is determined to see the show in which Ken finally loses. And if you aren't up to date on Ken Jennings, he's a 26 day champion with $828,960. Yeah, they dropped the five day limit on winnings.
Scott at Polite Dissent thrills us with a tale of learning how to draw blood. *shudder* I've had a great many botched blood draws in my life, and you find that you really appreciate the folks who are good at it. The best blood draw I ever had was a guy who spoke no English, who came in after a nurse had tried to get blood out of my veins-that-love-to-hide. She couldn't get enough for the lab, so the lab sent one of their own up. He came in, pointed to the tube and said (heavily accented), "blood". After the previous botched job, my right arm was in agony, so I pointed to my left arm. It took him a mere moment, while the nurse watched in astonishment. She hadn't even been able to find a vein at all in my left arm (and she tried, believe me). He left without a word after getting the full tube.
Comic Book Idol 2 is Ov-ah! and the winner is Carlos Rodriguez of Spain.
And now for something a lot more serious: Humiliated, Angry, Ashamed, Brown. A man in Seattle, the place I call home, was harassed by police when he attempted to fulfill a photography assignment by taking pictures, WITH PERMISSION, of a public landmark. He's blogging about the fallout from the incidents. Go read. Got this link via Boing Boing.
