_I wasnā€™t aware a city had a capitol. Shouldnā€™t that have been ā€œWhat stateā€™s capitolā€¦?ā€_ **NutMagnet** ā€” That question caught in my ear, as well; I just took it to mean the capitol building. Thanks again. ---

> [@Uncommon Sense](#): > > There`s a Bagdad in Kentucky? Whooda thunk. And, as Frank said during the interview portion, the residents have no plans to change the name, as itā€™s gotten the town a bit of publicity during the ongoing unpleasantness in Iraq. I passed the _Jeopardy!_ audition once, but wasnā€™t selected to appear on the show. Hope that Iā€™ll acquit myself at least as well as **AugestWest** did when/if I finally make the cut! ---

Thanks very much, everyone. The city/capital issue didnā€™t register with me at the time, but it did ring alarm bells when I was watching tonight. Make sure you watch tomorrow night so you can see me get frustrated when I canā€™t ring in on time! ---
