Cash Cab Rules!
From The BOJ News Service:
I'm a cross posting fool!
First things first, I noticed the grammatical error and I know how to fix it, but I just don't want to. So there.
Second, what prompted this post was the kick-ass Discovery Channel show Cash Cab. I watch it almost every day and love the idea of people being on a gameshow without knowing they were going to be or even wanting to be on one.
Yesterday they had a question about the tourist attraction that claimed to have given out millions of glasses of ice water. Being from South Dakota, that was a real easy one for me, but I sometimes think we tend to overestimate the drawing power of a small town drug store. Certainly someone hailing a cab in Manhattan wouldn't know about Wall Drug.
But the player got it right! They referred to it as Wall Drugs, in the plural, but I was pretty amazed.
Good show, watch it. I'm still waiting for the episode in which Ben Bailey runs over a bicycle messenger because he was busy asking his passengers general knowledge questions.
Oh, the lawsuits...
