Entry #1200
Trivia (5 Biomes points): This coin, minted in 32 BCE, shows a picture of who?
I’ve seen 75 of these 81 geek movies that don’t suck. Speaking of which...
Movie Rating: Wordplay.
I can’t tell you how much I loved this documentary. It follows the top puzzlers and puzzle makers as they compete in the annual American crossword puzzle tournament, with side trips with famous obsessive solvers like Bill Clinton, Ken Burns and Jon Stewart. It’s very short (90 minutes), but I highly recommend it. 4.9 starfish out of 5.
Another K.O. special comment, this one on Tom Delay.

That's the "beautiful" Cleopatra!

I think Mixter has it right, but I'll say Marc Antony just in case he isn't.

More amusing than the "bad fonts" post itself: The gazillion comments after it.
Oh, and the coin? I'm not sure, but I think it's my Aunt Millie.

I've seen most of those geek movies, and I do a crossword puzzle every time I... um... well... visit the little girls' room for more than a minute.

Mixter looks to have it. The lettering appears to say "Cleopatra Reginae" (For Cleopatra, Queen), probably part of "Cleopatra Reginae regum filiorumque regum" ("For Cleopatra, Queen of kings and the children of kings")

Mixter does get five for Cleopatra, although it is a striking resemblance to Aunt Millie.
