Jean Valjean (I'm sure my spelling is off) from Les Miserables. It's unlikely the ever met, seeing as one was a literary character, and one was from a television show.

What are the odds that comes up in two different FOFC puzzles on the same day?

[Marmel]

Was that in your music quiz Quik? I cannot listen to it herr at work, so I did not even know.

I would imagine the odds are better on the Bengals winning the Superbowl this year.

[QuikSand]

I hate history, but is 22 the Missouri Compromise?

[Marmel]

Compromise is correct, but Missouri is not (again, according to the information I have at hand, this is one I am not even familiar with).
