The Answers!!!

While I could leave you all in limbo as to the answers to life's biggest questions, I will not. As promised, here are the answers to the test. Also, I'm giving you some rationale for the answers, so there better be no complaining...

Ok, here we go!

1. False. In fact the kid's aren't alright. How do we know this? Well, contrary to what some would have you believe, they aren't, and this has been, um, enshrined, in song 11 years ago by a little band called "The Offspring". A band that, unfortunately, hasn't been quite cool enough to have their song on the opening credits of CSI. Yet.

2. False. Contrary to what this guy would have you believe in his song "The Kids", you can get it back. In fact, that's the function of the "choroid plexus" in your brain.

3. False. Every single person ever in the ER who gets shot, stabbed, hit, bludgeoned, or skewered was definitely minding their own business. So, don't do it. My suggestion is, for a long, trauma-free life, you really need to become a "busybody".

4. False. This one's a bit of a philosophical challenge, but not that hard. There's only two roads. Now suppose there's 100 people (it could be any number). If 99 of them walk one road, and the other one walks the other, then he's using the one "less traveled". Likewise if 70 use one road, and the other 30 are using the one "less traveled". The same is true even if 51 people use one road, and 49 the other. But once it evens out to 50 and 50, there's no way one can be "less traveled", because they would both be traveled the same.

5. False. Peaches come from a can. They were put there by a man, in a factory downtown. The prosecution rests.

6. B. A single step. It's a Chinese proverb. Those other answers are wrong, and you know it.

7. C. Let it slide.

8. J. Crystal lattice. This is no joking matter. Repeat after me: ionic bonds...

9. N. Dane Cook. While some may object to this, saying that obviously the Large Hadron Collider is going to start a black hole over in Europe, and will end the world (once it ets up and running sometime in late 2012, perhaps?), and others will suggest that RFID chips are not only the greatest threat to mankind, but also the Mark of the Beast (dun, dun, duuuuuuuuuun......), there's no doubt that Dane Cook is the greatest threat to mankind.

10. K. The Duke, named for Wellington "Duke" Mara.

And the final question:
You all get credit, as long as you didn't put "42". Why? Because that doesn't make sense. It was a stupid book. That's right, I said it. You can't hitchhike all over the galaxy. You can't even hitchhike on earth without the Man trying to get you down. Apparently its illegal. So no, that isn't the meaning of life. It's the meaning of 21 + 21.

So there you have it.
