BILL KURTIS, BYLINE: From NPR and WBEZ Chicago, this is WAIT WAIT ...DON'T TELL ME, the NPR News quiz. I'm Bill Kurtis. And we are playing this week with Ophira Eisenberg, Brian Babylon and Adam Felber. And here again is your host at the Chase Bank Auditorium in downtown Chicago, Peter Sagal.
PETER SAGAL, HOST:
Thank you Bill.
(APPLAUSE)
SAGAL: In just a minute, Bill teaches us the art of limericks with a clip from his movie, Rhyme House. It's the Listener Limerick Challenge. If you'd like to play, give us a call at 1-888-WAIT-WAIT, that's 1-888-924-8924.
Right now, panel, some more questions for you from the week's news. Adam, according to an archaeologist at Boston University, a Mayan mural recently discovered in Guatemala could depict history's first ever what?
ADAM FELBER: Selfie.
SAGAL: Yes.
(SOUNDBITE OF BELL)
FELBER: What?
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: Actually, I was so taken by your confidence that I said yes even though that's not the correct answer.
(LAUGHTER)
FELBER: Although I will put out that the bell rung, so...
SAGAL: It did, but I want to see if you can get it anyway.
FELBER: All right.
SAGAL: Which is that that sometimes your selfie - when you decide to take a selfie - sometimes your selfie is ruined by a friend or stranger doing what?
FELBER: A photobomb.
SAGAL: The first photobomb.
FELBER: All right.
(SOUNDBITE OF BELL)
FELBER: It was a - this mural depicts a gathering of Mayan elites, including the royal governor dressed as the wind god, and then hiding in the background, a servant. Archeologist Bill Saturno says, quote, "it's like a photo bomb. He's like, do you see me here?" Of course, since it's a sculpture, the guy must have jumped in and stood there unmoving for a month.
(LAUGHTER)
BRIAN BABYLON: That's a prankster.
FELBER: It is tough to sculptorbomb.
SAGAL: It is.
(LAUGHTER)
FELBER: Yeah, you would think sometime during like the week of doing that figure, he'd be like, say...
SAGAL: Adam, Jeb Bush hasn't officially announced he's running for president, but we're already learning about his past and his private life. This week, vox.com reported that all of Jeb's wedding photos - taken way back when - were ruined by whom?
FELBER: His brother.
SAGAL: His brother did in fact ruin them, but he ruined them by using the same film to take pictures of whom?
FELBER: George used the film to take pictures of...
SAGAL: No, no. It was ruined by his brother, but it was his brother Marvin.
FELBER: OK.
SAGAL: Well, this person ruined the lives of at least two other people by naming them Moon Unit and Dweezil.
FELBER: Frank Zappa.
SAGAL: Yes indeed. Frank Zappa.
(SOUNDBITE OF BELL)
SAGAL: Now, I know what you're thinking.
FELBER: I'm not thinking anything.
BABYLON: Why would you take pictures over anything?
OPHIRA EISENBERG, BYLINE: I'm still fascinated that someone's named Marvin Bush.
BABYLON: Yeah, what rando Bush is this?
SAGAL: As it turns out, there's Marvin Bush.
FELBER: He's the Zeppo of the Bush clan.
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: Marvin forgot to put in a new roll of film.
EISENBERG: He was very amateur.
SAGAL: He used the same roll of film to shoot a Frank Zappa concert, so the double exposed photos looked like Jeb Bush married Frank Zappa.
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: Marvin Bush does sound like the fictional Bush brother they make up on "Saturday Night Live."
EISENBERG: Yeah.
SAGAL: It's like here's George, here's Jeb, and oh, Marvin.
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: You thought George was bad, meet Marvin Bush.
(LAUGHTER)
FELBER: In my mind, that would be his catchphrase.
SAGAL: I know. Ophira?
EISENBERG: Yes.
SAGAL: A Canadian member of Parliament had to skip out on an important vote. His excuse was what?
EISENBERG: His ginch was tight.
SAGAL: His ginch?
EISENBERG: That's what we say in Canada.
SAGAL: I think you're right but you have to explain what a ginch is.
EISENBERG: Ginch is underwear.
(SOUNDBITE OF BELL)
SAGAL: You're exactly right. Once translated, I understand that you are correct.
(APPLAUSE)
SAGAL: Of course, you know, I imagine this is front-page news all over Canada.
EISENBERG: Oh, my mom called. It was amazing.
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: Really? His name is Pat Martin.
EISENBERG: Of course it is.
SAGAL: He's a member parliament there. And he ran out of the chamber during an important vote, and when he asked, you know, where did you go? He said, and I quote him, "they had men's underwear on sale for half price and I bought a bunch that was clearly too small for me. I find it difficult to sit for any length of time."
BABYLON: Wait a minute. So he should of said, oh, my ginchy was in a pinchy.
(LAUGHTER)
BABYLON: Right.
SAGAL: My ginch is pinched.
EISENBERG: No, no, no. That's what they say in Quebec. This guy...
BABYLON: Oh man.
FELBER: You should hear the tape of the previous vote. Nay.
BABYLON: Let's - he didn't go to the Walmart, he went to the bathroom and did he just come back, just letting things fly?
SAGAL: Well, we don't know. I mean...
BABYLON: No, he took them off and just put his pants back on.
SAGAL: I don't know if it's legal not to wear underwear there.
FELBER: Oh, you can't go commando Canada.
(LAUGHTER)
EISENBERG: Well, it's too cold. It is too cold. No, he probably asked someone and they were like, OK...
BABYLON: You can borrow mine. Try mine on.
(LAUGHTER)
FELBER: The question is why was he changing his underwear into the tight stuff in the middle of the day anyway? I mean, you'd think in the morning he'd put on the underwear.
BABYLON: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He left the house and he felt that it was like not feeling proper, but then he was like I can do it.
EISENBERG: I can do it.
BABYLON: And then like around 11:30, he was like no.
