Eska shares my love of (and obsession with) Jeopardy! Every night, she watches with me, and when it comes down to final jeopardy, she keeps my final wager in check.
Real-life conversation between Eska and me while watching Jeopardy! tonight:
me: 2010 Science News .... ooooh ... that's a tough one. What you think, girl? Should we wager high or low?
Eska: ...
me: What you think? High or low?
Eska: ...
me: High or low, girl? A lot or a lil bitta?
Eska: ...
me: A varry varry much, or a tiny lil bitta? A kish or a hug?
Eska: (licks my hand)
me: Really? You think we should wager a lotta? I don't know, girl, I'm not so good at science.
Eska: (licks other hand)
me: Ok, fine. But if we're wrong, you're paying the credit card company.
The clue asked to identify the astronomer, born in 1473, who'd recently had an element named after him to honour the link between astronomy and chemistry.
Copernicus. It was almost a no-brainer. Only the 3-day champion and I got it right.
My girl, she knows her bank.
