I want to hear J-Los version of the Canadian anthem.

"True patriot love, in all thy n-----as command."

[sancarlos]

I was great in week one, and a bum in week two.

[Sabo]

Eat it sabo.

Just so you know, Ryan rejected my first bird question. He said it was too hard.

Here's my original question:

Q. Sixteen species of woodpeckers are known to live in the United States as of 2015. Name one.

Note: This list does not include sapsuckers or flickers, which are similar to woodpeckers but are a different species.

Secondary note: I’m marking the Ivory-billed Woodpecker as a wrong answer because it’s assumed extinct by almost all ornithologists. Some have claimed the bird still survives in Arkansas but it has not been definitively proven.

There are 16 answers. It's not *that* hard.

Was "Woody" one of them?

[Shirley]

I'd have done much better with the woodpecker question.

[sancarlos]

Is "red-headed" an acceptable answer? Otherwise, i've got no clue. {Turns in imaginary Audubon Society membership card.) (And, yes, if twelve guys get your question wrong, it was too damned hard.)

I didn't think it was unfairly difficult. I just enjoyed that sabo couldn't muster a 1 point answer for himself.

[P.D.X.]

downy, pileated, hairy

[Johnny Carwash]

Would yellow-bellied sapsucker (aka my favorite bird when I was 4) have counted?

[Ryan]

I wanted to run with it just to use this...

FWIW, Wikipedia refers to it and other members of its genus as woodpeckers.
