How-do, y'all!

I apologize for my seeming AWOL-ness...definitely 'tain't nothing personal,
just having a prob these days finding enough hours in the freakin' day :-)

So without further ado--

According to Ann Landers, how should you tell a neighbor his dog keeps you
awake at night?

1) write a polite note
2) call the police
3) get a louder dog
4) call him at 2 a.m.
5) throw rocks at his window

This products technology played an important role in the invention of
computers:

1) McCormick reaper
2) water wheel
3) Jacquard loom
4) Gatling gun
5) pressure cooker

The ugli fruit is a new form of:
1) cooking apple
2) citrus fruit
3) blackberry
4) coconut
5) banana

All of these terms refer to something dangerous or evil except:
1) hazardous
2) perilous
3) insidious
4) pernicious
5) fastidious

Produced by the brain, this natural painkiller is three times stronger than
morphine:
1) serotonin
2) endorphin
3) dopamine
4) cadmium
5) synesthesia

What keeps a drowning man from breathing the oxygen in water:
1) panic
2) hydrogen
3) poor planning
4) hyperthermia
5) pulmonary blockage

Which of these animals is dangerous even before it is born?
1) sand tiger shark
2) tarantula
3) Portuguese man-of-war
4) oyster
5) Chuckwalla lizard

He is one of the foremost figures in the history of landscape painting:
1) Pablo Picasso
2) Claude Monet
3) George Braque
4) Marcel Duchamp
5) Salvador Dali

In chemistry, the melting point and freezing point are:
1) 32 degrees apart
2) flash points
3) the same temperature
4) 1000 degrees apart
5) where explosions occur

All of these containers were designed to hold a dead body except:
1) coffin
2) bier
3) casket
4) sarcophagus
5) monstrance

Kestral <---*not* a multiple-choice question :-)

tell me about it..with baseball, discussing war on Usenet, plus work and
RL..yeah ;-) in fact...

<whiney, baby voice>

I'm truly sorry, I haven't been joining in these..see, by the time, I get to
them, all the good answers are taken, and even if I *knew* the right answer,
someone else would have already gotten it, and when I didn't know the right
answer someone else would have already written it, and then I would know
it!...<deep breath>

ok?? <g> but I AM enjoying reading them!
Thanks!
