Darwin & Jeopardy?

On April 5, 2002, the game show Jeopardy! featured the Darwin Awards as a quiz category. Here is a transcript of the answers, courtesy of WhoisMark.

Alex Trebek: "For $200, a Pittsburgh convict tied eight of these together to escape, but was 25 feet short: he broke his ankle and was caught."

Carol: "What are his bedsheets?"

Alex: "Not just his bedsheets. He didn't have eight of them. For $400, a man in this "Wolverine State" was shot trying to get a photo of his dog holding a rifle."

Manoj: "What is Michigan?"

Alex: "For $600, as an alibi for a robbery, a man said he was in another state buying this illegal drug made from morphine."

Manoj: "What is Heroin?"

Alex: "For $800. Oops! After using gas to remove some stains, a man tried to cover the smell by lighting this, maybe at both ends."

Carol: "What is a candle?"

Alex: "For $1000, a Frenchman moved a parked car 2 feet with this technique used by pro wrestlers and agressive rams."

Carol: "What is battering?"

Alex: "Wrong! -$1000. Time's Up. Leave it to the French. He moved it by headbutting it. Donk Donk Donk."
