Happy New Shear: SHEEP

[Iron_Yuppie]

Since it is killing me not to read the commentary thread right now, I'm going to do my own commentary.

CATEGORY 1: ASTRONOMY

1. Sign of Zodiac - Leo 3, Gemini 3, Capricorn 3, Aries 3, Cancer 3, Aquarius 2, Pisces 1, Taurus 1, Scorpio 1

Damn, I kick ass. And you guys suck. 21 entries, and no score higher than 3. Signs not represented: Sagittarius (I'm willing to bet that none of you could spell it), Virgo (You are all in denial), and Libra.

2. Constellation that is not a sign of the Zodiac - Big Dipper 13, Orion 7

174 constellations in the sky, and you guys zero in on 2? Pretty impressive sheeping.

3. Planet besides Earth - Mars 19, Mercury 1

Now I suck. I thought for sure there would be some Venus and Jupiter thrown in here.

4. Star besides our Sun - Alpha Centauri 12, Polaris/North Star/Pole Star 4, Sirius 2, Betelguese 1, Rigel-7 1

5. Moon besides our moon - Io 6, Titan 4, Phobos 3, Europa 3, Charon 1, Triton 1, Ganymede 1, Deimos 1

Thebram wins the science category, with the max possible score of 53.

33 RoundTower
24 HerbieGRD (+5 bonus points)
5 Scott Howard (whose 5 submissions of "I don't know" sadly matched no other choices)

I've decided to unfairly award the 5 bonus points to Herbie instead of Bluff because A) he needs them, B) Mercury is a much better planet than Mars, and C) as far as I know, he is not French.

The bonus points don't really count anyway.
