Welcome to Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!, NPR's weekly news quiz program. Find out how well you know your news by playing the interactive online version below. You can also listen to this week's show with host Peter Sagal.
You're probably familiar with Craigslist... the Web site full of classified ads, job postings, personals, etc. Well, Carl Kasell knows a good idea when he sees one and he has created, Carlslist... a Web site where newsmakers get to post their own classifieds and personals. We’re going to read you three Carlslist ads, and your job is to figure out which newsmaker posted it. Ready to play?
Quote 1
Carl: "Short -- BUT NOT THAT SHORT -- Asian man seeks love, acceptance, regional domination. I'm tired of kidnapping my significant others; I want love the old-fashioned way. Write to me at the number below, or you will die in a glorious nuclear holocaust. And: no fatties."
So, who posted that ad?
• Answer 1
Quote 2
Carl: "Missed connection with you on Tuesday, Oct. 17 at 7:46 a.m. Not sure where to find you -- you could be anywhere in the country. You are cute, drooly, crying, maybe even soiling your diaper at this very moment. You're more than just a number to me... please call!"
That is an ad placed by an unnamed census taker looking for whom this week?
• Answer 2
Quote 3
Carl: "Married mother of two, now three, looking to increase her brood quickly. Potential infants should be from hip, exotic countries, with no current celebrities associated with them. Growing up in our household, you'll get a mix of Catholicism, Jewish mysticism and exhibitionism. But, please note, young children must be able to nurse through cone bras."
