Nodar Kumaritashvili

I had to look up his name, but I assumed it was the luger who got killed at Whistler.
I think the Olympic rings, the Vancouver 2010 on his uniform and the pic of his head being milliseconds away from slamming into a steel post kind of gave all of that away. The whole point of the question was whether or not anyone could remember his fucking name.

Using research to discover an answer is uncool 100% of the time, but I doubt that you're the only player who has done that. Posting that you did it just eradicates pretty much all of your credibility.

The fact that I was honest about it displays my credibility. NOBODY was going to remember this guys name without looking it up.

Maybe you should have asked "What was the name of this luger who got killed at the 2010 Olympics?". Then there would have been no doubt that his name was the only thing that was important. I'm sure there's tonnes of people here who don't even know that the incident happened.

Sometimes you are pretty full of yourself and take yourself too seriously. Having you lecture me is laughable.

Father McGilliguddy would give you two Our Fathers, one Hail Mary and Absolution for that in his Tuesday Confessional, but I'm not Him.

What part of
What's his name? did you not understand?

"I'm sure there's tonnes of people here who don't even know that the incident happened."

I'm sure that the people who read this thread and get some Correct! answers either knew about the incident, or were able to figure out what happened from the first two posted pics.

There never has been a division in MLB history where all its teams finished over .500. However, twice in MLB history a division has had all of its teams finish at .500 or over. Name the years and the respective divisions.

I know the AL East was close last year but I don't think the Red Sox finished .500 so not gonna guess that.

First one that comes to mind for me is the AL West which only had four teams for a number of years. And in particular those years when Beane and the A's were crushing it along with Ichiro and the Mariners. I'll guess 2002.

Second one I'll say NL West when the Giants were on their roll of 3 World Series in 5 years or something like that. Let's go 2010.
