The Google thing hasn't been formally discussed. I made a mistake by not clearly stating the rules and to be honest I don't have a policy regarding Google. I guess I thought that since I wouldn't be able to police whether or not people are using it, I would just not mention it. Early on, a couple of people did tell me that they used it and asked, "that's ok, right?". All of the questions are easily "Google-able", and since no one has answered every question perfectly correct makes me think that they are either not using it anymore, or don't use it at all. I'm sort of a purist and, like you, I don't think I would have used it. But I don't mind that people did/are either. I'd be willing to add an honor code of no Googling to the rules next time if everyone thought that would be more fun. Allowing Google makes it a 'first come, first serve' game since you should almost always get the right answer. Not allowing it will definitely drag the game out more. The other rule I'm iffy about is once an answer has been incorrectly guessed, should I allow others to keep guessing? That part has been a little inconsistent. I'm open to all suggestions regarding this matter. : )

Have we ever broached the Google subject here? I mean, I'm assuming the rules don't allow it, and I don't use it, but is everyone else using it?
Ha. I like your answer.

No worries, Chris. I'm not going to add an * next to your name in my TPC Hall of Fame.
Ok, so here's the final question for Chris. If he gets this right, he will be declared the champ.
For the green pie-
What TV show did Ross Perot select to announce his run for president?
Larry King. I think I actually watched that show.
Correct! You win!
