OK, how many river gorges are there in Kansas??? I remember driving through it on a family trip as a kid and didn't see any gorges with bridges. Geez, don't people even STUDY geography?

I read about supertasters somewhere.

Plenty of rivers in Kansas, I think, though not so many gorges.

I presume this is in the WE area.

During the "pregame chat" Gabe said that his wife would call him and ask him the questions. He said he was good with those that were over $25K, at which point I commented to elwing, "Well, cue the funeral music."

I was surprised at the strong spike for the second-place answer, especially since I believe the Raptors play the Knicks several times a season.

I lost my wedding ring while tubing on the New River. Gabe got a break on the 50/50 - there aren't many gorges in Kansas.

Gabe did the right thing since his PAF didn't come through. This didn't seem like a very hard question, unlike many at this value.

So do we know anyone on the list of the "Grand Giveaway" winners?

It still makes me wonder about people not having google PaFs. Really?!?!

It seems like a no-brainer to people like us, but the average person may not think about using someone who can search, or may consider it unfair to use a search engine. But in Gabe's case (and Danyle's later) a Google PAF would have come in very handy.
