I got a good kick out of this. Watson's next stop? The Bachelor.

The bachelor must sometimes take out two women at once, which Watson said wouldn't be a problem. "I have plenty of UBS ports," he noted, "and my power surge protector means I can go all night long."

All four of us got the final jeopardy question ....it was easy because the places mentioned as setting for 19th century novel were all sounded sort of Romania-Transylvania-Moldovam, so I immediately new it had to be the author of Dracula...took me a few seconds to dredge up his name (I quickly discarded Frankenstein and Mary Shelley because it said the author had written more than one novel and I was pretty sure she hadn't...plus Dracula was -clearly- set there...

Mary Shelley wrote more than one novel. And only the opening of Dracula is set in Transylvania. Most of it takes place in England.
