December 3, 2007 question

Ah, winter time, when the trivia nights are longer, the trivia glory a bit duller, and the trivia questions covered in hoary powder that is either a cold morning frost or just a bunch of dust. Whichever, here's the answer to the last question I asked you: Universal Product Code, and here is the list of brilliant people who knew:

For those non-UPC readers out there, that translates to Heidi, Nancy K (the K stands for Kmart), Charles, Steve J (the J stands for JC Penny), Micaela, Reg, Karen H (the H stands for Hook's Drug Store), Konrad, Steve T (the T stands for T. J. Maxx), Paul C (the C stands for Cafe Cou Rouge). For those UPC readers out there, I know, it doesn't really.

And a brief note on the news that Senator Larry Craig has 8 new male accusers. If there isn't a headline somewhere in this country reading "Eight Men Out," I declare myself extremely disappointed in the state of American journalism. Here's today's question:

True or False: Charles Comiskey, the longtime owner of the Chicago White Sox and former pro baseball player and manager, was so budget-conscious that he required his players to launder their own uniforms, which led to their perennially dirty wardrobes and the nickname "the Black Sox."

If any part of that is false, answer false--bonus points if you can tell me which part is false. Of course, if it's all true, answer true.
