Was that last nights final Jeopardy? I record it and haven't seen last nights yet. Seems relatively easy but it all depends on the contestants strengths in a particular subject.

My cousin used to bring this up every damn time we watched a game together. It seems to bother some people.

Anaheim's name is a blend of "Ana", after the nearby Santa Ana River, and "heim", a common German language place name compound originally meaning "home".

 

After the 1769 expedition of Gaspar de Portolá out of Mexico City, then capitol of New Spain, Friar Junípero Serra named the area Vallejo de Santa Ana (Valley of Saint Anne, or Santa Ana Valley).

History of Anne

 

Meaning & History

Form of Channah (see HANNAH) used in the Greek and Latin Old Testament. Many later Old Testament translations, including the English, use theHannah spelling instead of Anna. The name appears briefly in the New Testament belonging to a prophetess who recognized Jesus as the Messiah. It was a popular name in the Byzantine Empire from an early date, and in the Middle Ages it became common among Western Christians due to veneration of Saint Anna (usually known as Saint Anne in English), the name traditionally assigned to the mother of the Virgin Mary. In the English-speaking world, this form came into general use in the 18th century, joining Ann and Anne.

 

The name was borne by several Russian royals, including an 18th-century empress of Russia. It was also the name of the main character in Leo Tolstoy's novel 'Anna Karenina' (1877), a woman forced to choose between her son and her lover.

Meh, WWE embarrassed themselves having Snooki be part of a WM match once.

Yeah sure, that's how they embarrased themselves

Um, no, why should it "disturb" anyone? "Annoy" or "irritate," I could see, but "disturb" is a bit strong. Is he also "disturbed" at the fact the basketball team is called the "Lakers," and there are no major lakes around?

[Jobu]

You sound disturbed.

Snooki was probably better in her first match than half the female roster at that point.
