Bush is worse than No Doubt. Granted, No Doubt sucks, and Gwen is incredibly annoying and not that hot. But, I would bet that No Doubt was a fun bar/beach party ska band when they were clubbing around Orange County. I can't imagine anything about Bush ever being fun, at any time in their evolution.

20/20. But I had to stop and think to remember BMW didn't stand for "break my windows."

Haven't you ever had to change a tire?

Oh, don't do that -- just send them to the Manor. I wonder how they choose the places. Maybe if I pretend to be unwilling and have my sibs write the show, they'll reorganize the Manor.

I love when the Manor is all clean and orderly, but I hate the process of getting it to that point and always find things I'd rather do than clean or organize. A cleaning lady helps keep the main rooms looking presentable but I have two spare bedrooms that are virtually walk in storage closets and I have to toss everything out of my closets to find things.

You are so my SP. I had trouble with 1 female question and 1 male question -- I don't play poker but figured getting 4 of a kind would be the hardest to do. Also, I almost wrote "volumizer" but then remembered it was a "diffuser." Everything else was disappointingly easy.

On the BMW question, did they give credit for both "Werks" and "Works"? I went for the German spelling to be safe.

I remembered "TKO" because when I was a kid I thought the T was for "total."

You are my SP. Except the part about remembering the actual name. There is something called a volumizer, right? It's probably some kind of "product" (as Kyan would say), though.

You knew how to spell Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft? I had to Google every word but Bayerische.

Did you also substitute Bayrische as the German spelling for Bavarian?

Question: I am 42-years-old, have two children and have been married for 11 years. It is the first marriage for me, and my husband’s second marriage. He is 45. He seems to be obsessed by sex. At first it was flattering that he wanted me all the time, but now I am getting worried that we may have a real problem. He wants sex often, sometimes once a day, and when I try to put him off, he gets very angry. He has never hit me and is a good provider and father to the children. I don’t know what to do and worry it will get worse and then I might have to divorce him.

In that case I must be your childhood sock puppet. I will admit to being ignorant regarding boxing trivia, however. Never got that sport.

Same score -- different incorrect answer (diffuser?!? whoever heard of THAT? Apparently only 26% of those taking the quiz.)

18/20. I missed diffuser as well. You will also not be surprised to hear I missed the football one.

I have heard that you are correct as to the first part and incorrect as to the second part. Consider John Bonham's drum solo in the live version of Moby Dick.

I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around this. "Sometimes once a day"?

Don't know, but I did discover that "worke" was not an acceptable spelling of "werke". Which was annoying, given that I actually knew how to spell the first two words.

Besides, if I could spell in German, I'd be running most of Central Europe by now.
