so I was watching Jeopardy this evening, and one of the sections was "World Leaders". They showed pictures of the world leader, gave them additional hints, and expected an answer.....
Now, they did get a picture of Putin with Q: "This martial arts master calls this world capitol home" (A:Moscow)
But when shown a picture of Junichiro Koizumi, with Q: "The prime minister of this country" (A: Japan) they all just stood there.
Then, better yet (to me) when shown a picture of Gerhard Schroeder, and Q: "this man was elected as...the Chancellor of his country", the only person who answered said "Who is...Kohl?" Now, those two dude don't look alike, even if you've drank like a German.
The remaining two question were never answered, as they put them off until time ran out. The only two questions left on the board.
How can people who know the answers to all of these other questions not identify the prime minister of Japan, who just visit our country and loves Elvis? I mean, once you see that dude with his goofy hair and all, you can't forget it......
rant over.

At least for the Japan one, that episode was probably taped 3 months ago, before he visited. But yeah, after the Elvis thing, I doubt I'll ever forget what he looks like.
