IWS #141 results
This was a very close IWS. That is until the heavyweights decided to join the game...
1. Name a magazine. 11 - Sports Illustrated 9 - Time 2 - People 1 - Playboy SI was a run away answer and would have been a definate eliminator, but Time made a big push at the end landing on 5 of 7 ballots. 2. Name a newspaper. 18 - NY Times 4 - USA Today 1 - Washington Post The ELIMINATOR. Was hoping for more of a battle between the top 2, but it didn't materialize. 3. Name a comic strip other than Charlie Brown. 8 - Dilbert 4 - Garfield 3 - Peanuts 3 - Calvin and Hobbes 2 - Doonesbury 2 - The Far Side 1 - Family Circus I would have bombed on this question as I didn't realize that Dilbert was so popular amongst the FOFC crowd. 4. Name an author who writes fictional books. 9 - Stephen King 6 - Dan Brown 3 - JK Rowling 2 - John Grisham 1 - JRR Tolkien 1 - Anne Rice 1 - Anne McCaffrey Glad to see one of my favorite writers take this question. 5. Who will win the World Series this season? 10 - White Sox 5 - Yankees 3 - Red Sox 2 - Tigers 1 - Cardinals 1 - Mets 1 - New York (didn't specify which one and the final outcome wouldn't change if it was more specific) Only 2 votes for NL teams. No love for the Tigers and you guys really are stupid for picking the Yankees. 6. How many home runs will Barry Bonds retire with? 7 - 750 6 - 730 3 - 756 2 - 740 1 - 733 1 - 754 1 - 760 1 - 800 1 - 751 Stupid knows to go with a round number and it paid off here. Interesting that 740 did not get more votes though. THE ALSO RANS

Glad to see I wasn't the only one to say Peanuts for the comic strip. I figured since kingfc22 intentionally or otherwise misnamed the comic strip, it would prompt a number of people to automatically reply with the correct name of the strip. I'm moving to the Netherlands so I will perform better in the next edition. |

Woot!
I originally went with Time for the first question, and it looks like that's what Quik might have gone with, so that saved me right there. I also had Calvin and Hobbes as well, so it looks like second-guessing won me this IWS! I'll have a new edition up either tonight or tomorrow evening.
