Wow! That is quite a list. I think you win the award for the longest list of questions ever compiled.

Super entertaining nonetheless! I think my favorite may very well been about Barbie.

hehehe....I've often wondered the same things....LOL Especially the last question about men...why is it you can tell a man something and he'll still question it or have to check it out himself to make sure that what you say is true(i.e. He'll be driving and we'll be stopped to turn and L will ask me "is it clear?" I'll say yes, but he still has to look for himself!!!....GEESH!!!) LMAO
