A reminder for the old players, and startling information for the new players: You can get sheep league bonus points by attending the annual Columbus 24-hour sci-fi marathon. http://www.scifimarathon.com/ Details are starting to come out about next year's event. It'll run from noon to noon on March 9-10 next year. The first 4 films have been announced, and they're even bringing in a speacial guest.
The fact Man in the Magic Box is not a Doctor Who ripoff is really disappointing. Still sounds good though.
Okay, typing out the answers right now. Anyone want to guess who the ten most famous Ohioans are? Or guess who deserved a lot more votes?

I may have combined some of them. And then on Thursday I got "stick/club/bat", which struck me as someone just doing their best to steal as many points and answers as possible, so then I pretty much decided not to combine anything.)

Strange spoiler: this week's winner is nowhere near this leaderboard. They didn't even have 120 points after the first 5. Second place is on this leaderboard. But then in the tie for third, one of them is here, one isn't.
The more I play this, the more I wish there were only 5 questions. I find myself on the leaderboard a lot after 5 but down in the cellar by the end. Really need to work on conditioning for my sheep. It may be a long off season for them.
6. will we see any more red or blue on Crew jerseys in the next 10 years (not counting sponsors)? no - 43 yes - 9 (I don't know, 10 years is a long time.) 7. over the next 10 years, who will be the most important contributor for the US national team: Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie, Josh Sargent, or Timothy Weah? Weah - 20 Adams - 14 McKennie - 9 Sargent - 9 8. what would you rather order at Wendy's: single, double, triple, grilled chicken, or salad? double - 31 single - 15 triple - 3 grilled chicken - 2 salad - 1 (Double cheeses really are fantastic.) 9. do you believe in aliens? yes - 41 no - 11 (There are 8 planets in this solar system. Just one of them has a million different forms of life. And while we don't know for sure, we are actually currently wondering if another one of them, Mars, may have had life in the past, or perhaps even still does now, little microbes buried deep beneath the surface. And we also wonder if multiple moons in this very solar system have liquid oceans that are capable of sustaining life today. There are hundreds of billions of stars in the milky way galaxy. They won't all have big solar systems like ours, but but we know that quite a few of them will. Millions at least. And there are hundreds of billions of galaxies in the universe. Each with billions of stars end even more planets. Lifeless planets are likely far more common than not, but there's no way in hell we're alone.) 10. do you believe in ghosts? no - 28 yes - 24 Open Cup Semifinals 614life vs Aaron d 265 vs 239 DrunkandDisorderly vs Draghignazzo vs TownKrier 253 vs 252 vs 238 leaders after 10 questions: Kyle Crew - 291 Alneri - 289 KHT_Crew - 288 redi44crew - 288 jairadballerina - 284 CrewV Man - 282 Crew96Fan - 280 DAK77 - 276 djtrinidad - 276 Ch(Elsey) - 274 PSHSSoccerDog3 - 274 Robbiegoal - 272 west ham sandwich - 270 hungariansteven - 270
I am on a plane about to take off. And I am in third after 10 questions. It will be hours before I know the final answers and my final position. Grrrrrr....
To be fair, I did combine bat and baseball bat. Which maybe I shouldn't've. I can see how bringing a bat to a fight might be a good idea. Especially if that bat turns into a vampire. You'd be almost certain to win that fight. Unless it was daytime.
