Jeopardy! Geekery
You know what one of the clues on Jeopardy! today was? The category was "Stellar Spellers," and you had to spell celestial things.
The clue: "We're not kidding. Spell the dog star."
You know why this clue is awesome?
1. The answer is Sirius.
2. I can spell Sirius. As can anyone who's ever read past the second Harry Potter book.
3. It makes a subtle pun about Sirius = serious. Which is the best pun ever. Siriusly.
And then I knew Final Jeopardy! too. Because it was about James Bond. And I lived with Kirstin Hendrix this year.
