(I join the others) Greg: And wouldn't you know it, we have Huey, Dewey, Louie, Uncle Scrooge, Webby, and Donald from DuckTales. They're currently on Disney XD, and you'll see more of them on Disney XD, I imagine. Now that they've pulled Pokemon off the air and moved it to Netflix.... (growling)
Now, it's a $17,000 gift certificate to 1stdibs.com, so you don't have to buy this if you don't want it, but.... could you use a dining room set like this?

Oh, it is. All right, then. In that case, let me make it more interesting. I'll throw in.... $3,000 in cash.... (I pull out a check from my tuxedo jacket pocket) and I'll lower the price to $10. You'd still have a $20 lead. $20,000 in cash and prizes for the value of two questions. Going once... (audience shouts suggestions) Going twice....

He's going to buy! (audience cheers, I drop the check off at Marc's desk, then walk back to my lectern)
Marc: $60

Bob: $40
We take the $10 off your score, there's your check, and excellent buy. $20,000 in cash and prizes for $10, and as promised, you still have a $20 lead. But Bob's come from behind before. Back to the questions.
1. What "h"-word is the unit of measurement used to determine the height of a horse?
2. Politicophobia is the fear of what?
3. What country gave the world porcelain?
