The 7 Jeopardy Categories of Your Life

[firecat]

Seemed appropriate to infect Livejournal with this as well...

if by some chance I got on Jeopardy & was facing the screens, if these were the categories that appeared, I would be grinning b/c I would know that I was about to ace the game. So what would they be? -- L1

1. Indie Punk Bands of 1982
2. Group Dynamics of Eclectic/Dianic Covens
3. Care and Feeding of Non-Tenured Scholarly Book Authors and the Correct Use of Commas
4. Product Team T-shirts of Apple Computer
5. Polyamory: Theory and Practice on the Internet
6. Cat Photography Tips
7. Homeowning on Fifty Cents a Day

1. WWII
2. Muscle Cars of the 1960's
3. Polygon Structure in 3D modeling
4. Rock and Roll
5. Dogs
6. Photoshop
7. Potpourri

Potent Potables would also suffice.

Huh.

I wouldn't mind the "Polyamory: Theory and Practice on the Internet" one, though I might do slightly less well at it.

1) The Anne McCaffrey Pern novels written through 1996.
2) The Boston Massacre.
3) Western musical notation.
4) Elizabeth Peters/Barbara Michaels novels.
5) The Dewey Decimal system (as long as no one asks me about Cutter numbers.)
6) Cryptozoology
7) US Fiance visa immigration procedures. (Right now, I could probably do this one in my sleep...)

And yes, that's a rather odd collection. I know bunches of other stuff, too, but I also know how much I don't know.

Some other alternatives:

* The Intellectual Freedom Committee of the American Library Association
* Marsilio Ficino
* Figured basses
* Arthurian Legends
* The Salem Witchcraft Trials
* Historical epidemic diseases

I'm still not very sure what Jeopardy is, as we don't have it here. I know it's a quiz show, and I think you have to answer in the form of a question, but how does it work?

Subjects I know lots about:
1) The music and history of The Wildhearts.
2) Trivia of London Transport.
3) Neil Gaiman's Sandman books.

um... I'll think of some more later. I'm sure I must remember something from my degree, for example...

Oh yes! 4) 101 things not to do in an organic chemistry lab :)
