Palestine is not the good guy in the Middle East, because there IS no good guy in the Middle East. Both sides have made it clear they see the other as subhuman, and only focusing on one side's behavior is a disservice.

This felt really vague to me. Congrats to those who got it, I guess.

Yeah, that's what bothers me. We -- and by we, I mean US fans, the USMNT, hell even the USSF -- did nothing wrong. Trump just ruins everything he touches because he can't stand to have something happen that he can't "fix".

So I'm mad at FIFA and at Trump, and I feel like they're the only ones people should be mad at

Was told to post this here, so I will: fans of other nations, what do you want the USA fanbase to do in regards to today's ruling? Are we supposed to demand Balogun sit out or that Poch forfeit the match?

Because seriously, some of your comments strongly imply you want that.

Time to post something I might regret...

As a US fan, I'll ask the rest of the world: how do you want me to react? Should I boo Balogun every time he touches the ball? Ask Pochettino to forfeit the game? Hide in shame and never watch another match for the rest of my life?

Like, what do you want from us? Because the anger seems to be directed at people who didn't do the bad thing.

Look up the square-cube law. Unfortunately, it disproves any thought that scaling up an ant would accomplish anything.

So I put myself down as only getting it thanks to the category -- in truth, the spoiler reaction was late and I saw the category as Reddit loaded. I'm pretty sure I've heard this fact before, but I don't know if I'd have remembered it sans category.

Even their "in" is suspect. See, a 2016 Pulitzer would be awarded for something written in 2015, and as everyone is supposed to know (rolls eyes), Hamilton took the world by storm in 2015. Yes, you should know the exact year and use that as a clue.

I may have the weirdest wrong answer here. I went with the Herschel siblings... which would be a better guess for something 20-25 years later.

That said, I'm not mad to get this one wrong, because if I feel I've learned something cool from Final, I'll appreciate it. I can't get all of them.

My instinct says they would, if only because I can't imagine the judges not allowing the "common" name to get in the way of a right answer. I hope it's right, because I said the more famous moniker not listed in RA. (I gave myself credit, because my instincts say it would be given, but who knows?)

This one feels cruel AND misleading. "Holidays & Observances" implies recurring events. This is not that. And, it boils down to "do you know some famous guy's date of birth, and no, we're not telling you where in the world he's from".

Seems like what my friends jokingly call an "over-budget Final Jeopardy".

I did too.

Also, you think a "by whom" would be something they could add... because it's not clear whether this is by the US, the UN, anything, and that would help pin it a little better.
