Triva Team names suggested

Every year, the law firm my wife works at participates in the "Mind Games" fundraiser for CSS's Immigration and Refugee Services. I believe it consists entirely of a Cranium tournament.

My wife has been offered a berth on the firm's team this year ( "piercing the attorney veil" is what she calls it), but they are looking for a new name for the team.

The departing member has suggested "Shock and Awe."

I'm Zen on good names right now. Any suggestions?

Well, that was interesting. I wonder what triggered that?

Those are playing to good reviews. Here is a slightly edited version of my suggested team name that might have triggered the administrative delete:

The Aleph Team (I would like this better if there were any, ah, speakers of Hebrew on the team.)

The Floating Brains from Nebular 7 Kudos to The First Sea Lord for the inspiration.

The Voire Dires (Means 'truth tellers' but also refers to the point in a trial where jurors and experts are questioned about their bonafides)

My hat's off, and the names will be forwarded to the appropriate trivia contest team naming subcomittee.

The decision has been made. I thank you all for coming out, but they've decided to go in-house for this position.

Actually, the choice wasn't bad - they're mostly overweight and middle-aged, so they're calling themselves The Incredibles.

Not to be churlish, but once again, the notable imagination, creativity and risk-taking of the legal profession is amply demonstrated.

One wonders. I'm sure that mention of the word "Jews" hit a filter and flagged the message for review by a possibly overworked (or underworked) censor. They might have given the sentence a superficial read, glanced at the blog title, and poof!

Or I could have accidently deleted it when I was trying to get of one of my own comments. Which seems likely.

J'accuse!

Thinking on it, if the Powers That Be were responsible, it would make more sense for the deletion message to refer to a "Blogger administrator," rather than a "blog administrator."
