Well, it does sound a bit like articulated. That’s _my_ excuse 🙂 ---

I always thought it had something to do with their bodies being able to squeeze and crush prey. Probably because the _only_ time I’ve ever heard it has been “reticulated python.” ---

There’s an episode of _The Simpsons_ where Lisa sees a chipmunk and calls it a “northern reticulated chipmunk”. I don’t think that species actually exists, but it did make me realize that I didn’t know what “reticulated” meant. ---

Probably because the _only_ time I’ve ever heard it has been “reticulated python.” This, exactly. I’ve _never_ heard the word used when describing a giraffe, or anything else, for that matter. ---

Am I the only one who over thought Monday’s FJ? The only other visionary type name I could think of was Bucky Fuller 🤨 ---

I didn’t overthink it, though Buckminster Fuller does have a slight connection to the right answer. ---

Fuller crossed my mind, but he died later than that. I remembered that Disney died in the mid '60s. ---

Same. I also could only come up with Fuller. The connection to EPCOT never crossed my mind, though was obvious once revealed. ---

I thought Disney was way too obvious. I also thought he hadn’t died that long ago. I went with Fidel Castro. 🤨 mmm ETA: And now I Googlelearn that Castro didn’t die until 2016 ---

I almost got this wrong, I thought the architect Wright must have passed around then since there was a Simon and Garfunkel song about it. But then I picked up on the hint. ---

My first thought was Bucky Fuller as well, until I remembered that I saw him speak in 1970. Then the only other obvious answer (to me, at least) was Disney. ---

It would have been a lot harder if they’d used a more generic description, but what amounted to the acronym was a dead giveaway for me. ---

Disney is so obvious that I thought it was a trick question, if that makes any sense. ---

Makes sense to me. My first thought was Walt Disney. But that was too easy; there’s gotta be a trick to this. Hmm … ---

The clue explicitly referred to EPCOT (experimental prototype community in Florida), so I thought it was easy. Although I didn’t know Disney died in 1966… I would have guessed mid-70’s ---

IMO, the performance of all three contestants in today’s (4/11) Final Jeopardy is evidence of why America is fucked. ---

I thought one of the names for the 4/11 FJ was obvious. I got the other one too but with much less confidence. But yeah, the contestants had some bad guesses.
