Whee.

If anyone had any vague thought of trying out for a game show or reality show or some such, don't bother. Thought I'd take a stab at trying out for Jeopardy, just on a lark. And of course the first question on the prospective candidate questionaire is 'Are you X-factor positive?' Phrased a lot more politely and roundabout than that, for sure, but still. And it of course leads to a oh-so-nicely phrased 'thanks but no thanks' sort of response if you say yes.

Bleh. There goes my dream of winning, like, 80 times, and making a lot of money.

I don't think it is. But how do you tell if a mutant's telling the truth about what they can do when they sign up?

And say you can screen for particular kinds of mutation--what's to stop people from going too far the other way, and suddenly the NCAA championships come down to who has the most mutants on their team? That's just as dangerous as not letting mutants compete at all.
