    For those of you who don't listen to the radio show "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me..." - well, WHY NOT?!?

    Every week they have someone famous (for various definitions of "famous") answer questions in a field completely different from what they were famous for. This week the guest was Vice Chairman of General Motors Bob Lutz (you can hear it here). The most interesting part is when he mentions the Volt at the very end of the segment.

    As for the game itself, before anyone bashes him for not getting a single question correct, guests usually don't get any answers correct. Sometimes they'll get one just by random guessing. They seldom get two correct, and almost never get all three.

    I listen on a very irregular basis. (I have to figure out how to find the station on the radio in my Xebra.) But I often hear the "Not my job" guests win the prize for the listener.

    I thought the host did a nice dig at Lutz, by asking him what kind of gas consumption his fighter jet gets.
