"[Smith] ran on an agenda that was revolutionary for his time -- a 45 cent minimum wage, limiting the workweek to six days, building a bridge to the 1930's -- and I want to say it's quite a tribute to Al Smith that Governor Bush has adopted the same agenda." - Al Gore

1) The one that didn't already have an outbreak of AIDS, Bubonic Plague & Chicken Pox.

2) Obviously not the one with the National Travel Bureau HQ.

3) Not mysteriously getting lost en route to Mars. Mysterious Mars Monsters: 3. NASA: 0.

4) Air travel came to an immediate halt after authorities realized that they had run out of that white gooey paste they call coleslaw.

5) One in which the Jews aren't hated for no reason whatsoever. Oh wait - there isn't one.

6) I have no clue. It could be "Rage against the machine", but you said "popular".

These are the most unfunny questions in the history of questioning. Very hard to make sex jokes about Ebola.

"Hey honey, how about you and I go try out the new WHO-issued cot?"

"Sorry, but I'm dying of massive internal hemmoraging right now."

"What, again?"

That's perhaps the most tasteless joke I've ever told.

Wait...no it isn't.

I think I'd have to agree with Sol on this one. To get someone on this board to give a straight answer that is actually correct, is like trying to get Jubilee off Charles.

So, are we going to find out the answers, or are we going to be left hanging?

not that i'm in a hurry to know, i do have a life you know, well actually I don't, but if i did, i sure wouldn't be dying to know about a bunch of current events trivia, unless i had ebola, in which case i would.

Well, the answer to number 2 is "Missouri". I should know. I live there. The place where his plane crashed is, I think, within an hour of my home. Probably less, actually.

'Scuze me? It's actually not as hard to get me off Charles as you think.

And these are horrible. I'll post some real ones.
