It happened yet again: Hrithik was meditating in the south room and the kittens collectively won Jeopardy!. The category was "My Favourite Things", and it was actually about the Rodgers and Hammerstein song(!), so the top-level clue was kittens. If this keeps up, I might start believing in Hrithik's mystical powers myself. Maybe.
One could make a case for Alfredo and Beppe winning too - and Hrithik is - because Rome was also mentioned, and they're Italian wolves from an area near Rome; but Rome comes up a lot on Jeopardy!, so it doesn't have the same punch as Madagascar. On the same note, one could make a case for Tibby, with his imperial connection, but I'm adamant that he's awfully Antarctic for it to count.
The category for the final today was "Comic Book History", which was how we learned that Zebulon is a comic book enthusiast. Apparently he likes to talk comics with Quixley; they read some of the same comics, and Zebulon is interested in hearing about the ones he doesn't have time to read. It's not clear that Zebulon and Quixley participate equally in these conversations, though, since Zebulon's half consists entirely of "Aye" and therefore Quixley can't really tell whether Zebulon is just being generally friendly or is interested in comics because he's not familiar with them or whether he actually knows comics himself. I'm reasonably certain, in fact, that Quixley has probably not entertained the last, and correct, of these alternatives.
