I know it's just one review, but I hope a lot more surface like this one.

Once again, a millionaire contestant stumbles on an easy question. Without using any lifelines, he had gotten to the $50,000 question which was quite simple, if you watch the news (which I don't, but I read enough online and listen to enough on the radio). It asked about a possible new planet in the solar system which was discussed in depth across various websites and news channels, yet, even with an obvious answer (the three other names just didn't even sound close to being right), he finally settled on "Sedna" after using his phone-a-friend, his 50/50 and his ask the audience. Now he's gotta get another question right just to get the next two lifelines...so frustrating sitting here watching.

Edit: And now, on the $100,000 question, it's another current events question asking which supreme court judge added Gilbert and Sullivan inspired stripes to his robe - which the obvious answer is Rehnquist. So he leaves with just $50,000 when he could have easily hit a million.

Nothing really makes me more upset than watching Millionaire or, as in the case of last night, Super Millionaire, and just sitting there knowing the answers. The last person to go last night, a lady from Illinois had some extremely easy questions to start the game, and even as they were supposed to be getting harder, I didn't really have a problem with them. She wasted her lifelines on questions that I knew without seeing the answers and it's just so frustrating sitting at home watching.

Of course, I know I can't really complain or get mad at the contestants, because they actually made it that far and I haven't (yes, I've tried calling in, but the questions on the phone are not easy at all), but still, you'd think they would know some of the easier questions. I wish I could find a transcript of all the questions that appeared last night so I could go over them once again, as I know I didn't know ALL of them leading up to the "Next Dimension," but I knew almost all of them and probably could have "called a friend" on the one I didn't.

But basically, it came down to the last question last night, for $500,000. The question (paraphrasing) was: "Botulism, a deadly toxin, has it's root in the Latin word for what?" Three of the four possible answers were: "Honey, Sausages, Oysters." Now, my dad thought Oysters made the most sense while the contestant first instinct was honey. All the while, I was sitting on sausage, which may have been for the wrong reasons, but that was my gut instinct. The contestant asked the "Three Wisemen" and they were unaware of the answer, though an editor for Time Magazine said, they probably didn't have sausages back then and a former million dollar winner thought that oysters seemed the most logical. Since the contestant had no idea, she used her last remaining lifeline, the double dip. She first went with honey, her gut instinct, but was wrong. She then pondered for a while and decided on oysters since that's what one of the wisemen said and she thought it could be right. But it wasn't. What was it? Well you could probably guess it was sausages, and I would have been right. I have no idea how I would have played it since it was just a hunch, but I probably would have guessed since there is nothing to lose at the $100,000 level and, with her earlier (easier) questions, I probably would now have the 50/50 and the double dip left for the $1,000,000 question - thus guaranteed a million.

But then again, I wasn't there. I wasn't in the hotseat. I probably will never be in the hotseat. But I can still sit here at home and think these people don't deserve to be there.

What's this? Actual scientific facts debunking the Fox epic, The Day After Tomorrow? I can hardly believe it. The way Al Gore and MoveOn.org were hyping the movie, it sounded like it was non-fiction and could actually happen. We could actually enter an ice age in three days if we don't stop releasing greenhouse gases. Everyone north of Washington D.C. is going to die, and soon.

Or not. The whole film is pure fiction. The ideas behind it are not correct. The assumptions portrayed are there for pure entertainment. It's a movie. It's supposed to be fun, and I look forward to seeing it. But I'm not going to think that this could actually happen. I'm not going to believe Al Gore and the left's call for immediate reductions in the releases of greenhouse gases. I'm not going to blindly follow what a few (uneducated) people might believe regarding this movie. Instead, I'll read the facts (see article) and in no way base my vote in November on some ridiculous movie.
