I was wondering if the contestant list from the show I am satirizing comes from the Lobotomy out-patients clinic? I am sure that some of these people might believe that Walmart is a supply store for pre-fab home construction.....

Let's play along and see....history buffs special

How were the Bostonian patriots disguised at the famous "no taxation without representation" protest?

Who did Gavrilo Princips assassinate to start WWI?

What was the name of the scientist that discovered the element radium?

Pierre de Coubertin is responsible for starting what very popular sporting event?

What disease kills the most children every year?

Take your time while we take this commercial break......(you never know when a desperate TV type might be looking for a new show....)

Agree with the above except for 5. I would have said malaria.

Richard is showing his age (industrial revolution or before) when Cholera (diarrhea) did but Malaria is now the big winner. So much for the cheese-grater...lol

I didn't know #1, it was before my time. Also I'd have to guess #5.

Hmmm...that means the Swiss don't know it, either. Very interesting....
