Tom,
Gunther, is that you?
That show should go down in history simply because Gunther Toody was probably the greatest name ever invented for TV.

How did East Tennesse State ever blow that $200 ML Parlay for $25k in the 2nd half, leading by 17?

1) Since there are only two possible answers and people vastly underestimate the difficulty of living a new life with a new identity, I'm going with "No".
2) Radiocarbon dating places it as originating between 1200-1350. The only criticism I've seen of that study is that the shroud was given a 150 year range while all the control objects were dated specifically. Obviously a single object can't be partially one age and partially another. But given that the oldest possible age is still 1200 years too young, we know what it's not.
3) Never heard of this. Sounds like a good read.
4) They have found decomposed notes from the ransom in the forest. For this and the same reason cited in #1, the likely answer is a sad one for D.B.
5) The Air Force tests its newest aircraft there. What else would it be?

1. Zodiac Killer
2. D.B. Cooper
Those are the ones I think of the most, really don't have a 3-5. Living in California and in elementary school during his killing spree the Zodiac was on a lot of people's minds and all over the papers.

- Who really assassinated JFK? RFK? MLK?
- Where's Amelia Earhart?
- Why did the Minnesota Vikings trade 10 years of a decent team for Hershel Walker?
- Why does Old Milwaukee taste better out of the can than the bottle?

- Who really assassinated JFK? RFK? MLK? After all, it was you and me
- Where's Amelia Earhart? She was found alive and flew back home on Malaysian Flight 370
- Why does Old Milwaukee taste better out of the can than the bottle? It doesn't!

If his work involves the use of a computer, it wouldn't be difficult.
Better question is, why does it matter?
