I won't argue too vehemently on this one, because the only thing I was going on was a gf who worked for the NGA a couple years ago telling me the Gallery just bought a Thomas Eakins painting for more than $60 million. But it certainly *was* sold.

Then, a foundation (I guess led by Wachovia Bank, from what I've found from a cursory online query) figured out a way to keep it in the city.

Whatever, I knew Rothko also, but thought I'd go for an off the wall one for this. I completely understand if it's disallowed, though I think it should count, even from an objective POV.

(btw, I have some really intereting (though not necessarily peritnent) info about the Spanish national flag from another ex gf)

AJ who was the other person to say Wuthering Heights?

You're about 80 years early there.

Stranger in a Strange Land deserves to be on the list.

pyramid - obviously, tokyo

I'm doing half decent wow

Such a snub.

ZT needs to have a big slip up for me to have a shot at catching up (especially since we have a baseball question at the end)

Vader,

It's going downhill for me from now on. I'm a little curious how 'A' will do though.

Oh christ, seriously resisting google/wiki now. Please tell me Family Feud was a daytime (and not just a primetime) show at some point (if it were, and Dawson didn't win an Emmy for it, a crime was committed...)

Oh ****. Daytime? I went with The Cosbys. That can't be right.

Richard Dawson was awesome, but damn you for giving the same answer.

i also went dawson

****

No, you're still good with Cosby (though my answer for that may be questionable also). I was referring to the daytime Game Show host...

intermission coming at the half

I had the same thought, Family Feud, but I thought Ray Combs instead of Richard Dawson. I shied away from him due to the death-factor and thought a lot of people would put him (if he's even right), so I put a safe answer.
