Question Day...Leave One or Answer One

One of my Facebook friends has declared Tuesdays to be "Question and Answer Day". You can answer one of his questions or leave a question of your own (that hopefully someone else will answer). So okay, today is Thursday, not Tuesday. But this same friend has declared Thursdays "Cuss Day Thursday", so aren't you f*@&%g glad that I picked Tuesday's theme instead?

So here we go:

1) What the heck is the name of this new genre of music that I hear everywhere?? During the poignant moments of "Grey's Anatomy", on commercials for cars, cell phone service and IPods...it's always a single acoustic guitar with an overly breathy male (or female) voice singing about rainbows, love or something else extremely cuddly.

2) Why do I find 1) so appealing?

3) Why didn't Harry Potter see the thestrals since Year One at Hogwarts, considering he had witnessed his own mother's death?

4) Why does the U.S. still use the English measurement system when the metric system is so much easier and more exact?

5) Why does Greg House still itch and scratch and bite himself?

6) How much longer will the Olsen twins, the Jonas Brothers, Avril Lavigne, and the entire cast of "High School Musical" torture us with their lack of talent and general annoying personalities?

7) Will we one day find out that teeth whitening strips cause gum/lip cancer?

8) Wouldn't it be interesting if everyone mated with a different person each time they wanted to have a kid, just to see how many variations of people could be made?

9) Will the U.S. ever move past its two-party system and actually give folks a bWhetter selection to vote from?

10) Does it say more about me or my husband that he is more into smelly candles, potpourri and facial cleanser than I am?

11) Can horses mate with ponies?

12) When will I be able to eat dairy again?

13) Does anyone else think the love connections on "Grey's Anatomy" have gotten a little too incestuous??

14) Will the public one day take global warming seriously enough to change their lifestyle habits?

15) Where is Adam taking me to dinner tonight?

So I guess I'll leave an answer, too...

1) Yes, of course!
