Nope, there are just alot of locked doors at work (and it’s not a prison either :D).

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve done well on one of these. I’d have been happy with top 25, much less #8. It looks like my only really bad question was Michigan (which in retrospect I would consider a better answer, but it didn’t even occur to me).

Corn in the cob did me in.

I can live with that – esp. if you throw in lots of butter and some freshly ground black pepper along with the salt.

OUCH!! :smack:

Wasn’t I tied for second a few feuds ago? Maybe the recent bump on the head _did_ affect my cognition after all. :dubious:
