  1. MaryAnne was correct there, and hence everyone else. A much better showing than the last question . One more question from 'Double Sting' before I move on: Q. When did Doc. Petticord say the last 'good epidemic' was?.'
  2. (Simultaneous post with me and waikiki a couple back)
  3. Absolute zero (−273.15°C)
  4. RIP Corey (December 23, 1971 – March 10, 2010)
  5. Everybody Have Fun Tonight - Wang Chung
  6. I Need You Tonight - ZZ Top
  7. Tell Ben, I said nothing .
  8. dial
  9. Goodnight Ladies - Lou Reed
  10. Battle Of Who Could Care Less - Ben Folds Five (Is this song written about MaryAnne? - 2nd verse starts 'And you think Rockford Files is cool ...') (They were both posted at the same time - I think we usually go with the 2nd post)
  11. (UK winner of the 1976 Eurovision Song Contest)
  12. You're correct Roger - you're all wrong . texasdaisy was closest - it was 75 years. An easier one from 'Double Sting' now: Q. Which characters were Wendel and Irving planning to dress as for their next bank robbery?.
  13. (No 'God' by Tori Amos then ? )
  14. Milky Way
  15. Oh My God - Kaiser Chiefs or Oh My God - Lily Allen/Mark Ronson
  16. If I Should Fall from Grace with God - The Pogues
  17. Take The Last Train Home - King Curtis
  18. (I'm betting the next post won't use the word 'Transcentral' .)
  19. They do make pit stops in F1, although it's only for tires this year (previously tires and fuel) - they're quicker than NASCAR as well because they have about 12 people in the pit crew. The crew all wear fireproof outfits and helmets, and it looks like they modified the normal ones to look a bit like Star Wars outfits rather than exact copies. I can't remember whether they had them for the race, but they definitely practised with them on - check out Darth with the lollipop :
  20. Great song - you just reminded me, I left 'Christine' off my favorite movies list. So you wouldn't appreciate 'Bad' by Michael Jackson?
  21. marriage
  22. Sorry y'all - I just can't narrow it down to 5 . Here's some my favorites (in no particular order): Where Eagles Dare (I'm watching it now) Every Which Way But Loose/Any Which Way You Can Blues Brothers Ferris Bueller's Day Off The Breakfast Club The Italian Job (original) Dirty Harry series Naked Gun series Die Hard series Convoy Life of Brian Smokey & the Bandit (1 & 2) And at Christmas: Miracle on 34th Street (1947 B/W version) Some others that have already been mentioned weren't far off the list.
  23. Thanks for clearing that up Garrett. Teams in F1 tend to keep roughly the same livery throughout the season (and both cars in each team are virtually identical). There are exceptions to this. Sometimes a local sponsor will be added for a race. Occassionally a sponsor will pull out mid-season. When Renault were found guilty of having one driver deliberately crash so the other could win, a couple of major sponsors left. My favorite single race sponsorship deal was Red Bull/George Lucas for the 2005 Monaco Grand Prix: They even dressed the pit crew as stormtroopers and Darth Vader: More pictures here.
