Here is a good one:

THINGS THAT ARE SEVERE

[SamJ93]

Thunderstorms, punishments, tire damage.

Maybe not a top-level category, but it is a good one...I'd stick it somewhere on the middle row.

Adding a few more...

Thunderstorm warnings (or storm warnings in general), bleeding, diseases, some illnesses, pains, a critic.  Definitely $250 material.

and if you wanted to go further in with weather you might say...A tornado,A hurricane,Flooding,maybe Earthquakes. maybe even $300 material there.

I just did a search...looks like they're astronauts, Russian maybe? I think musicman is in the wrong thread.

I think he's on the wrong website, myself.

This is the thread about $300 tournament questions is it not?

[Kevin Prather]

Yes. You're going backwards, musicman. You supply the category, and then we try and figure out clues for it, not the other way around.

And what Musicman offered is definitely not a $300 category.  I'd say it's a $150.  If you know about Yuri Gagarin or Valentina Tereshkova, one of your first guesses is "Astronauts" or "Cosmonauts".

Well, we assume that was what he was going for. (And it probably was, I for one certainly don't give him credit for something more clever that also would not be moronically obscure.) One would think that in that case the wording would need to be "Russian Astronauts (Cosmonauts)", because it really wouldn't be fair to only accept one or the other.

Random House.

The idea is that they are supposed to be challenging.

Though I do see where that concept might pass you by.
