Well, I've known Kyle for almost 6 years, and he's smarter than just about
everyone I know except for me.   This should prove to be fun.   What contest
shall we choose for this battle of wits?

Fred, I'd advise you to avoid military history or movie trivia.

This reminds me of a thing that Douglas Coupland had in his novel
'Microserfs'.   In the exposition, while introducing the main characters,
the protagonist mused about what each person's best Jeopardy categories
would be.   I think this would make a fine subject for another Instant
Listie Poll!

My Jeopardy categories would be:

Text-based adventure games of the early-mid 80's
70's progressive rock
Object Oriented Programming architectures
How not to meet women
Breakfast foods
Science fiction authors of the 60's
Inside jokes

Fun, fun.
