Jeopardy! (1 Viewer)

[Black Swan]

I was watching Jeopardy tonight and they had a question in the literature category. I was getting ready for the test. If I get 10, I am hot.
They usually have questions about the american constitution or the civil war.
I nearly jumped to my feet when they asked who had written the novel Post Office. No one knew.
So, I was the champ. :)

They missed Burroughs too. I can't remember the exact questions.

Just think....those uber smart people are probably just now discovering Bukowski. Walking away wondering who the hell he is after the show, going home and googling him, picking up a copy of Post Office....... Now they are doomed!

It is quite funny that Bukowski stumped the nerds.
