Monday NIght @ Wings & Things

There's a new sheriff in town and it's the Sputniks.

The Sputniks came on strong Monday night with a new-perfect night. They also were one of only two teams to get the final bonus correct and they won with 328 points. The Fruitloops came in second.

We had a wild tiebreaker for third place after every team bet the max and ended up in a 12-way tie for third. The Snamish won by coming within 18 miles of the correct answer (see below)

News & Notes: I had a good time Monday night taking video of teams with my new Flip video camera. When I get a chance I'll edit the clips and post them here on the blog... We also said goodbye to Ricky, the Wings & Things manager who worked hid last Monday at Wings & Things. He's been there for more than 10 years. Good luck Ricky!

Here are a couple of my favorite questions from the night...

• TV – What was the three-word nickname for the man that lived directly opposite and slightly below Rachel and Monica’s apartment on Friends?
• Movies – What 1960’s television series was released as a 1991 film starring Christopher Lloyd and Angelica Huston?
• History – The purchase that brought the US modern day states Arizona and New Mexico in 1853 is named for what American ambassador to Mexico?
• Sports – In what Summer Olympic track and field event is a style known as the “Fosbury Flop” used?

And here was the tie-breaker that the Snamish got within 15 miles to win third...

• Covering parts of five different states, how long (in miles) is Interstate 85?
