Schlemiel - a person prone to clumsy accidents

Schlimazel - an unlucky person

Or, as Ron from Parks and Recs put it, "a schlemiel is the guy who spills soup at a fancy party. A schlimazel is the guy he spills it on. Jerry is both the schlemiel and the schlimazel of our office."

I was also going to add Laverne & Shirley to the list. A spin-off of Happy Days but covering the same time period, and set in Milwaukee. Wisconsin.

Even the quizzes I find to be "easy" hold me up on a couple of questions. Finally one that all of the answers came to be rather quickly. Although, I've never heard of Ginsberg being called Notorious RBG (but it was easy to guess) and I thought the Trump Organization answer was a trick question at first.

I do like how the first answer is PBS and the second question starts with PB. Well played, whether intentional or not.

Guiding Light ran until 2009 and had 15762 TV episodes and in US. General Hospital is on 14557 but is now longer running in time. Unless the clue means most watched or time since first broadcast it should probably be Guiding Light.

The clue says "the world's most-aired soap opera" but doesn't say TV or radio. 'The Archers' has been broadcast on British radio since 1951, with over 19000 episodes, so a lot more than 'General Hospital'.

So you think a US General Knowledge quiz would have a question about a British radio show?

No I don't, that's not what I said, it's just that the question says the "world's most aired soap" when it's not. Maybe it needs to be changed to say "world's most aired TV soap".

Good point.

Plus, going by weight, the copper skin weighs about one fourth what the structural steel skeleton (mostly designed by Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel) weighs.

Got a couple of these when guessing for other ones. Happy Days crossed my mind but I didn't try it for some reason.

As someone who's spent a fair bit of time in the Denver metro area, I would strongly dispute that Castle Rock is a Denver suburb. I appreciate that it's in the metro area per the Census, but that's only because most of the population of Douglas County is on its northern edge and commutes to Denver. Since the Census doesn't get any finer than counties for metro areas, that implies that Deckers and Larkspur are also Denver suburbs which is clearly nonsense. By driving time, Castle Rock is halfway between Denver and the Springs. I could buy that it's an exurb, but not a suburb. Any way you drive there from Denver, you'll pass through some basically uninhabited land.
