Humbugardy: Literary Baseball for 500
2005-09-18 18:26
This is Humbugardy. I’m your host, Alex Scorebard.
Shakespeare says nothing of their arms, but in two different plays, he mentions that they “have ears”
This was a Double Up round. Wagers were made here.
Update: Derek Smart was the only person to get the correct question: What are pitchers? He bet 100, so he won 200 points.

3. Uhm, care to share the answer with us?
4. Er, I should say "the question."
5. I updated the main text above. But I'll repeat:
Derek Smart was the only person to get the correct question: What are pitchers? He bet 100, so he won 200 points.
6. Ah, the power of positive guessing. I'll take Haiku Trades for 200, Alex.
