Everyone knows a lot about something. Be it politics, religion, science, that sort of thing. This is the kind of knowledge that comes in handy on Jeopardy. But what about everything else? All the other things you may know, such as how to get a good deal on a mortgage, or the exact number of credits needed to graduate from Starfleet Academy?
So I ask, if you were on Jeopardy, or if your life was a game of Jeopardy, what would be your seven dream categories?
Mine are:
- Catholicism
- Star Trek: The Next Generation
- British Royalty
- Comic Book Continuity
- Greek Mythology
- The History of the Comic Industry
- Puerto Ricans
And everyone else:
