Some of these people have to realize what's going on... and are just fucking around.

I'm going to believe that b/c if that weren't true, I'd have to cry... and I don't much like cryin'.

Wow, some of those were actually not that easy. I didn't know that a "Napoleon" was the name of a pastry, nor did I know that Nero "fiddled while Rome burned," and the question about the lyrics to a Jimmy Buffett song would have stumped me too. Most were ridiculously easy though.

The Gaelic question, though... somehow I knew she was going to say San Francisco!

The famous French Emperor part never gave it away?

What? No Lindsay & Jodie (however they spelled it)?! Those girls were on the show repeatedly due to their spectacularly bad Jay-walking "performance." Had to be nearly the most hillarious stuff I've ever seen on the show...

I was hung up on the fact that it was a pastry and kept trying to think of other French leaders (and of course couldn't think of any).

I did not know the pastry one either but how many stars on a flag, come on now.

I think the easiest question he asked was who was the first President. Anyone who lives in the U.S and doesnt know that question deserves to be deported or exiled.
