Leonora has two children, ten-year-old daughter, Jade, and five-year-old son, Joshua. Her son was a little worried when she said she'd be on TV; he thought she'd have to go inside a TV. He was also concerned about how she'd get back.

These were the easiest questions I've seen in a while, wouldn't have had to use a lifeline. I know--unfortunately NOT from experience--that's it's a very different thing to play sitting in the hot seat, as opposed to the comfort of your living room, but still I thought these were dream questions. And I can't believe she chose the Beatles song. I hope this doesn't sound too snarky,but when I see a contestant like this, the first thought I have is--how did they possibly pass the test?

Made me laugh.

Once you have read a few weeks worth of transcript threads, you will see how non-snarky that will be read.

Well, that my kinda of music question.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Cute story - I guess kids must think of TV as magic, somehow.
