(*THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY: One contest was run by a team with Bob Buckner (Local 12), who several of us had dared to beat us with a Python question. They responded by making me famous (at least 5 of the fifteen minutes we are all purportedly alloted). One of the hour boni had (and this was read out over the air mind you) a "Rob Kent No Hints Monty Python Question," which was to name all the ways that brave Sir Robin was not afraid to die. . . .)
