Where you see a celebrity and the girlfriend come out of a hotel to mass acclaim and publicity. Then you see a man walk out of a sidedoor incognito, and he is identified as the inventor of the internet (possibly Vint Cerf or Berner-Lee or someone like that). This was a commercial and part of a...

So, inspired by the decent effort put forward here on TW in the last thread, I have an animated film that I can't find from my childhood. I watched it in France when i was a kid, but not so young that I don't remember so i'm guessing somewhere between 1985 and 1992. It could be japanimation...

This is ofn on the internet, but still a good puzzle and I couldn't find a thread here. (try not to google the answer, it is a good exercise to work this out) The question is easy "I have two children. One is a boy born on a Tuesday. What is the probability I have two boys?"

Going for about 8 days. I figure I should see 2 islands, not more in that time frame and am open for suggestions. Maui and Oahu for instance? Nightlife is nice and welcome, but we want a mix of beaches, exotic locales and so forth. WHere should we go?

So you know how when you suspect a gf is cheating on you, you get the mental flashes of her in sex with a stranger. What bothers you the most. When she's in a submissive position, or in a dominant one (eg doggystyle vs girl on top). Why? (I'll anticipate the 'taking it in the pooper' replies)

Apparently the authorship for this parable is unknown: Urban Legends Reference Pages: How Taxes Work "Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this: The first four men...

Everyone has one or two friends who have unusual talents with the ladies. Most of the time its just natural ability/charisma/looks (eg no canned 'The Game' tricks). So of your buddies who's the biggest player you know? I know a Frenchie who more or less scores a girl every other night (i've...

If you had to pick one player (regardless of position) that you would characterize as the most valuable football player of all time, who would it be? My money goes to Joe Montana, simply b/c he was the most dominant player i've ever seen touch a football at arguably the most important position...
