Genius points at stake only where noted. The rest is just stuff I wanna know. Answer any and all.
1) If you could take a one-time pill with no side effects that would prevent hair from growing out of your face for the rest of your life, so you'd never have to shave again, would you take it, knowing that by doing so you would forfeit your right to moustache-growing forever?
(I wouldn't. Especially because I've never had a moustache and I feel that the world owes me one. At least one.)
2) If the governing body of your sport of choice came out with a statement that read something like this:
"Look, we know performance-enhancing drugs (PED's) are bad for you, they might even shave twenty years off your life. And we suspect that teenage athletes are going to take them in greater numbers as they become more widespread at the professional level. But the truth is that policing them is too damn hard and we'll always be one step behind. So we are now formally announcing that PED's are not disallowed by our sport. If they are taken illegally, you may face criminal charges, but we don't give a crap about any of that. Go for it, gladiators."
Would that change your opinion of steroid use?
3) Many people would call Rakim the greatest MC of all time. Is this accurate, and if not, who's your top choice? While this debate continues, can we at least all agree that the absolute worst MC of all time was Dr. Geek, the dude from the BluBlockers ad ca. 1995?
4) How far can the strongest-armed NFL QB chuck a football?
5) When did you last eat a potato and how was it prepared?
6) Whodat (10 GP's)?
7) BJL ineligible for this one, sorry. Prior to the steroid boom of the 1990's (lat's say pre-1990), who are the only five men to hit fifty homers in a season more than once (2 GP's for each)? And who are the four men to do it more than once since 1990 (0 points each)? No googling.
Good lively debate on the steroid thing yesterday. Thanks to all commentors as always.
