LearnedLeague question from the other day, from a One-Day called "Transnational Film Adaptations and Remakes." One of the answers I knew. The other one I had no clue about:

Nightmare: A friend published an academic book that I was in, but I couldn't find myself in the index. I was upset, & everyone thought it was my ego, but actually I was upset b/c the metadata was wrong. Information wants to be found! I woke up very stressed.

Pretty tepid response to this from the crowd.

You know what evenings I’m generally doing other things and don’t have the capacity to watch World Series baseball? Friday and Saturday. You know what evening I’m usually home in and would love to watch some World Series baseball? Sunday.
