    TOSSUPS -- ROUND 4 CENTER OF THE KNOWN UNIVERSE OPENIROLLAPALOOZA 1999 1. Another Roodside Attraction. Skinny Legs and All. Jitterbug Perfume. Still Life with Woodpecker. FTP name the eccentric North Carolina novelist who wrote these, as well as Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. Answer: Tom Robbins 2. First identified in 1761 by Gianbatista Morgagni, symptoms may include fever, vomiting, abdominal swelling, brusing or internal bleeding, and jaundice. Because it results from the inefficiency of scar tissue that replaced dead cells, it can be arrested but never reversed. It can be caused by the hereditary ailments Wilson's disease and hemachromatosis, but usually results from hepatitis or high alcohol consumption. FTP name this liver ailment which thus far (to our knowledge) Andy Wang has miraculously not contracted. Answer: cirrhosis 3. It was the name of a type of shuffle dance popular in minstrel shows of the 1840s, but made its first appearance in print when the slave child Henry is told to dance and jump in chapter one of Uncle Tom's Cabin. The term now generally refers to laws passed by whites to govern the behavior of blacks, and more specifically to laws designed for the enforcement of segregation in public facilities. FTP what is this two-word term? Answer: Jim Crow 4. Created by Gregory Widen, then a UCLA student writing a screenplay for class, it features characters in the Quickening competing for The Prize. With movies subtitled "The Quickening" and "The Final Dimension," it gained a great cult following after the original, starring Christopher Lambert, was released in 1985.
