Compare your times, dear Sir. The Axe took 48 seconds to get 8 right. You, on the other hand, took 164 to get 9 right.

It was popular, I think, a decade or two before my time, but never went entirely out of fashion. Pop Rocks are small little candies that look like neon-colored gravel that, when you put a few in your mouth, start foaming, fizzing, and, well, popping.

Great fun, really.

That makes me feel much better. I can truthfully say that I've never watched the David Letterman Show; I'm not sure that I would recognise David Letterman if he came up in my soup.

The Guessometer was also decidedly wobbly on Old Testament kings ... [Disappointed]
