NEW RULES!

DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS

Object of the game: Try to think of the most popular answer, to get the most people matching you. Google is allowed, if you desire. Only answers that are “serious” will be scored. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players.

New formatting rules:

If they are not followed, your answers will be DISQUALIFIED.

  1. answer
  2. answer
  3. answer
  4. answer

Make your list look like the one above. No double spacing. No periods (except for the one following the number.) No quote marks, no punctuation if it is not necessary! No smilies! No extraneous bullshit is allowed. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it AFTER THE LIST!

The reason this is so important is because I cut and paste all the answers, and I have to edit each answer to make them identical. It is a lot of work, so please make it easier on me. Thanks.

Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. For example: 50 entrant game = 2 pts per answer. If 4 people match that means they each get 8 pts for that answer. No matches = 0 points.

If any of you have ideas for Feuds -and would like me to score them- PM me and I’ll get you on The List.

The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at 3:30 PM Central on Tuesday, 03/10/09 whichever comes first.
Good luck!

Remember, the new formatting rules are in effect. Read the rules!

That would be Sergei Korolev, who was the head of Soviet rocket design in the fifties and sixties - the period when the Soviets essentially won the Space Race. The Soviets probably would have gotten to the Moon first as well except that Korolev unexpectedly died in 1966 and his death disrupted the Soviet space program.
