Odds and Ends
Triple Stumper of the day: No one knew the TV detective series starring Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander, "Rizzoli & Isles".
One more thing: Hard to think of having worse Jeopardy! luck than showing up to the studio and discovering you're up against an eight-time champ AND a three-game champ.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What are vampire bats? DD2 - What is "The Magic Flute"? DD3 - What is Beacon? FJ - What is "Rolling Stone"?
