Ooo, I'm sorry. While it's true that Mr. Mesmer invented hypnosis he did not however treat Anna O. It was C, Josef Bruer.

That's right about mesmerize, but not about who treated Anna O. :(

Good try!

There is a Silver Lining in all of this. Now the next round will be sooner because I only have to write new questions from 100-25,000 :)

Sorry Bob, not to imply you don't know a lot of this without Googling. History and BAM winnings prove that! Just my awkward way of introducing your BAM fame to Shade.

Well it is a Milestone question :) , But you may be right. When I wrote it I was debating whether to put more information in the question


"I hope you look younger than Regis!"

Yup, I'm a young Regis Philban :D

Since this isn't network television, takinover is welcome to try to be a contestant again on my next round.

Just like the TV show, when they give away a big prize, they have to jack up the intensity over the next few shows to protect the budget.

No objections, but I think you'll find that there's significantly less traffic here on the weekends than you might like. If you posted your game during a weekday afternoon, on the other hand . . . . --Bob

Thanks. It will depend upon how business is going - there aren't many people out just yet, but if last year was any indicator, it will start to pick up shortly. My job is primarily to get things out of bags for women to look at and/or try on, and then put them back.
