    Sorry, kpfingaz but due to the utter lack of response, I didn't think it really mattered. 
    
    Not to mention, if you were looking up the answers, then you cheated anyway.  I just wanted to see what people came up with off the top of their head and no one played. 
    
    i just figured people thought it was too self-promotional so i just blew it off.
    
    
    Would you like to play again?  I have tons of questions.
