If you put every song ever made onto a hard drive and clicked 'shuffle' how long would it take for a song to be played that you knew?

Having in mind that within a group of 1,000 representative people I would be the person with the highest IQ or the 2nd highest, how long would I survive?

I guess that depends where you were and what you were doing. Having a large IQ means jack. Survival of the fittest I guess.

Do you think Perry will wear a football jersey during his performance at the superbowl tailgate party?

When I was a kid I remember dying in an abandoned refrigerator was a concern. I remember commercials, public service announcements, and even a punky brewster episode dedicated to educating children against playing inside of abandoned refrigerators because it may close on them and they'll suffocate. What happened? Are kids smarter now a days, or do we not throw out refrigerators anymore?

Just a random aside: I have a fridge of that style from the 1950's at my cottage. It's been there since the 50's and still works perfectly. In my life time I do not recall us ever having to do any kind of repairs on it. They don't make appliances that last like that anymore.

Not sure if they make those locking chest freezers anymore? In recent years we've had a couple of stories of kids dying in washing machines/tumble dryers.

Don't those stories have more to do with neglectful parents than overly curious children? At least the ones making the news near me have been about that.

Yes! It's clearly a Brooklyn thing rather than a "Jewish" thing, but the similarities are there for obvious reasons. If you read what you said in a Woody Allen voice, it's hilarious.
