Note to self: prepositions at the ends of sentences can be very, very important, especially when they change the meaning of the question.
Whoops.

Looks as though the quiz server is having problems. I got an internal server error when I tried to play, and the scoreboard hasn't refreshed yet (after 5 minutes) so I don't know whether it has registered my attempt to play. Beware!

Yes, it is odd to see someone with a time of two hours, 22 minutes, and 30 seconds on that list.

Spike,
You remind me of something that happened to one of our exchange students.
He is a big strapping boy from Greenland. We took him to our favorite hot wings joint one day. He was well warned about washing his hands at least three times before rubbing his eyes.
What I had forgotten is that there are fewer social prohibitions in Greenland about digital nasal mining.
He inserted finger and his whole face flushed. He went whooping and hollering to the bathroom.
I'd like to say I helped him out, but I was laughing too hard at the time.

There is a radio station that broadcasts in this market and they threatened to broadcast descriptions of cars in traffic where the drivers were picking their noses. It's OK in kindergarten, though I would still offer my pupil a Kleenex, though I haven't got that option on the road!

Don't mention that. As a grower of scare-the-neighbor chiles, I know all too well what you're alluding to.

Snuck into the top 10 (until Sir K. gets here, obviously ) and only 20 seconds slower than Antisocial Alto.
