In that case they must be starving:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

I certainly wouldn't be one of those men. When I watch, not often, I'm lucky to be able to answer 15%. Frankly, many of the jeopardy answers were about "things" that I would never care to know about. To each his own.

There was a thread recently about men getting hit more by listening than women. Interesting.

Deaths associated with eating raw shellfish reported across Florida - Orlando Sentinel

It didn't say snails, just mollusks and shellfish. AND it doesn't mention encephalitis. I am off my game.

Didn't see any mention of a brain entrée on the article's menu. I think people would be much more familiar with another Vibrio species---Vibrio cholera. Nevertheless, I'm going to pass on raw Florida oysters for a while

Here is what I read; Rat lungworm carried on small snails found in lettuce. Urged to wash lettuce. Causes meningitis.

Not that I would put a lot of medical credence in Huff Post, but it sounds like a rare and self limited infection. Absolutely amazing that they attribute the spread into Florida on the myth of "global warming".

The Pains of Getting Older FunTrivia Test.
 
The Pathophysiology of Getting Older Trivia Quiz | Human Body | FunTrivia

Take a shot at this pathophysiology test from Fun Trivia. I have not taken it yet. But will soon.

More Quizzes. I will bet that many of the Jeopardy players are familiar with Fun Trivia and there are some incredibly fast and accurate players on Fun Trivia. Speed does count in the various competitions.

I think you'll be disappointed in this quiz----While I got 10/10 in less than 1 1/2 minutes, I could have got the same score in 2nd grade. You'll have no problem with it.
