Mark, are you sure you want to be creating that kind of monster, with some of the folks on this board?

(I found a Pyramid restaurant in Nepal, of all places.)

It really is "to each his own" because I thought tonight's Jeopardy was a gimme with the "states" category. Then my friend corrected me and said "Some people don't know that stuff" so I guess it's in the eye of the beholder. Seemed easy to me.

Except I've never claimed to know television history.  I'd more than likely have to take a lifeline on any question related to movies, classic television, and music...as I've never been too enamored with that kind of thing.

Sure, I just don't want to be lumped in with Henke and be an "inbred redneck" for the second time in a week.

I think I can eliminate Russia. For some reason, Ukraine jumps out at me. Am I right?

EDIT: Ooop. Googling "first soviet atomic bomb" shows me that I'm wrong. A, Kazakhstan, final answer.

Oddly enough, there was a Bonanza in Huntsville, AL that, after several years, changed into a Ponderosa.  Parenthetically, it closed after less than a year as Ponderosa and is now a FedEx Kinkos.

Don't know when that happened...but they are now under one company, called MetroMedia Restaurants.  Odd indeed.

YOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUU WIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNN!

Seriously, yes it was Kazakhstan.  I put Russia in because some people would assume it was Siberia, and Siberia is a region of Russia.

Now if I can just think of a question that can not be googled...

No, but they could be IMDB'd.

[bhall969992]

They could be IMDB'd but given the fact that it's only 30 sec. for PAF, it would be hard to IMDB them, because they span several movies.
