daslied 1 Report post Posted February 22, 2006 That's a good point, but I was thinking they meant language. Oh well, my string of 9's is intact at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 21 Report post Posted February 22, 2006 Falco was definitely borderline. It didn't effect the outcome however. The Muslim question still bugs me. That was a great stumper if we phrased it better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daslied 1 Report post Posted February 22, 2006 Falco was borderline on many levels. Carl, I liked the Muslim question. All 3 were rappers, so how else could you have phrased it? Other than "Which white rapper...", but there are only two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
