Lots of letters used twice in each one.  The first double consenants, the last double vowels, inbetween doubles of each.

Take the first letter of each word and move it to the end, and the word spells the same backwards.

Nice Eric...after I post the answer...you cheeterrrrrr! :-*


I'm just getting ready for the worlds largest Trivia contest coming up here in the heart of WI.  It's a weekend of little sleep and brain drain of every last drop of trivial knowlege, and the fastest hands at internet research to get the answer within the time span of two 3 minute songs.  


Phones down...Phones down in the back.

to add: In case you want see what it's all about..

I've mentioned this before...every year in fact.  I think it would be cool to get a group of clusterheads to form a trivia team.  We have alot of good minds here that hold a wealth of uselessfull knowlege.  We have web savy people who know where to dig up the most obscure information.  I think we could realy give a run for the top 10 teams.  Please people, lets thing about this.  Too late for this year..and I'm back on the Phones down team.  Please anyone who wants to get into this for a weekend of comeradorie and friendly competition, I'll be willing to make arrangements to host a team.  Teams travel as far as from Russia to partisipate in this contest.  Think of the publisity this could garner.

OK Pegg, if you had a choice, would you take $100,000.00 cash right now, or a penny if you could double the amount everyday for 30 days.
