Ok, trivia has officially begun! Like I said before, this round is trivia that covers a very broad range of topics but I'm sure you'll see what I mean sooner than later. Here's your first question.
Q: This rare medical condition is a group of over 150 different syndromes. Symptoms can include the inability to grow hair, nails, teeth, and even the absence of sweat glands. What is the condition's name?

Looks like we don't have any players right now, and here I pulled an early round out of my hat for you morning folk. ;)
First one to answer this question correctly begins the round and gets the first point! I'll be checking back periodically, it's a lazy dreary day today and the wife's busy so I've nothing better to do.

I regret not being here because I was held up in a rather urgent situation. :mad:
I am really glad to see NE score yet again. (and make it to the round on time too!) And its good to see Freak and Austin pop in and give him a run for his money.
Hope to catch you all soon with the Python Round! :cool:
