"D baretta live*King edward hotel" The question is about Baretta, the TV show[/u], but a) Baretta's first name is Tony and b) The question is so horribly written, even if the answer is correct. Plus, I guess 3) no one gives a shit about Baretta. |

That's kind of a trivial correction.. probably not even worth the struggle to try and fix those if they're just pet peeves.

Okay guys. Been a while since I last took care of any of this. Sat down and pounded out all the mistakes that you've brought up since my last post.
Comp-Dealt with all the instances of "Left-handedness" that I could find, and simply used Lost's figure of 8-15% (eliminated the question with 5, 10, 15, etc).
Gnome-Eliminated the Baretta question entirely, fixed the binary question, and couldn't find the mosquito question.
Prone-Dx is right, that is a trivial correction. I made it in this case because you brought it up and because it gave me the chance to capitalize Henry James' name, which is a pet peeve of mine, but it's unnecessary to bring up those small grammatical errors in the future...simply too many for me to fix 'em all. Just catch the big ones, with blatant wrong answers, and we'll be good.
Beyond that, I corrected all the ones I could find. Only 6 days left before I send a new version to Chal...get what you'd like included to me as soon as you can.

the famous last words: Icarus... shouldnt the aaaaaaaaaa be aaaaaahhhh? i mean it is confusing counting the a's for the answer, but i think u should shorten it to Ah, it gives the same effect as the longer version.

Already fixed that one Garious...you can keep your eyes out for things in this coming month, since I'll be sending a new set of corrections to Chal in the next day or so. After that, anything that's wrong will be stuff I have yet to fix.

I'm guessing the bot has been down for days because Chalupa is updating the question catalogue. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Don't know if that was the reason for its being down, but he has now instituted my updated question file (that I sent him about 2 days ago, so it's the most recent one I had). That said, any errors you spot in the bot now are errors I have NOT corrected previously. They're the ones that aren't mass corrections like the removal of ultra-obscure myth, etc. So keep looking for those!

Who played John candy's obnoxious brother-in-law in 'the great outdoors'*dan akyroyd

General Knowledge : To refuel your car you go to a ___ station*gasoline
Make it gas or petrol, no one goes to a "gasoline" station.
TheTriviaHost Q: TV, Movies & Entertainment: Fred thompson, of such movies as 'no way out', 'baby's day out', 'the hunt for red october', and 'die hard 2', was first a(n) ______, then an actor, then a(n) _____.*lawyer / senator
2 answers for one question...?
History : She was the first woman to fly the Atlantic solo.*e. earhart
A little uniformity would be nice. I've seen this, emelia earhart, emelia earheart, erhart, amelia, almost every variation you can think of on the bot.
Q: Baby Names Beginning With "A": Meaning: Youthful*ataro
...these kinds of questions are kind of stupid. No one on Earth knows this kind of thing, and there's really no reason to. If you see fit my vote would be to delete the entire "baby names" category.
A 3 1/2' floppy disk measures ___ & 1/2 inches across.*three
Again a little uniformity. "3 & 1/2" or "three and one half" would be appreciated.
Who painted the fresco, the school of Athens*Raphel
According to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, it's RaphAel.
Thanks much doom.
