The Live Journal of James Stevens-Arce

While flipping channels last night, I chanced upon the game show 1 vs. 100 just as the contestant, a young woman who looked to be around 30 years of age was being asked to select the correct answer from among three choices.

Question
Which of the following three organisms has the fewest number of cells?

Possible Answers
A. A gray squirrel
B. Paris Hilton
C. An amoeba

The contestant's reaction?

"Omigod! I don't even know what an amoeba is!"

Color me appalled.
