Sometimes there’s a question or two where ya just can’t come up with anything-- it’s more fun to Google than to pass. And it’s pretty self-limiting: if people have to Google more than an answer or two, then it’s too much trouble and we tend to bow out and wait for the next feud. Also, a custom seems to have developed that players note which answers we had to look up. That’s always interesting, and I feel like less of a doofus if I put something wacky (because everyone can see that Google made me do it). ---
