Those of you who have known me for a while know that I’m obsessed with It’s Academic, a local high school TV quiz bowl that originated (and still airs) in Washington, D.C. It should be no surprise that I woke up early Saturday on purpose to catch the Baltimore version while I was home this weekend.
And I was not disappointed.
Each team gets a chance to answer 10 questions at the beginning of the show. This particular school was asked to change one word to make the phrase below correct:
This says "Chuck Norris was the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound"
The girl in the center was supposed to say “Chuck Yeager.” What she said instead was this:
“Speed of light?”
What else could she say when Chuck Norris obviously had a gun to her back?
