Today’s Jeopardy (College Championship) Clue of the Day:
The $200 clue from the Jeopardy round category SWEET STUFF
“JOSEF DELAROSE LASCAUX INTRODUCED THIS CONFECTION, AKA SPUN SUGAR, AT HIS DENTAL PRACTICE”
Answer:
“WHAT IS COTTON CANDY?”
Oh sure, you know Josef, he has that brother, Gustav, with the tire shop that invented the spike strip. And I believe they’re related to Helga, a second cousin on their mothers side. Helga, she’s the divorce lawyer who popularized prostitution.
Bonus Jeopardy (College Championship) Clue of the Day:
From the Final Jeopardy round category WORD ORIGINS
“BEFORE ITS USE IN JOURNALISM, IT MEANT A BOUNDARY BEYOND WHICH STRAYING PRISONERS WOULD BE SHOT”
Answer:
“WHAT IS A DEADLINE?”
Maybe I’m being nitpicky here, but wouldn’t it have been easier to simply, oh, I don’t know, put up a fence?
On second thought, simpler yes, but probably nowhere near as entertaining.
