I blew Faust. WHF remembers WHO wrote Faust? I never even read it. I"ve heard it a couple of times but..... ok, you have to be into literature to remember THAT sort of thing. Give me Chaucer or who wrote Tom Jones or Persuasion. Seriously. I've read those. But Faust?

Catherine the Great. She was quite the gymnast if I recall correctly. And she had a huge gym set up with a lot of mirrors in it.

I vaguely mumbled something about discovering radiation and then said, "no, that's not quite right..... maybe it was X-rays.....no, that was Roentgen.....but she died from whatever it was she discovered.....it caused her death.....it was in the radiation field....... Nope. Don't know." So I wonder what my answer is going to look like on that one.

Oh you HAVE to see Enchanted. It's hysterical. It's a spoof of all the blooming Disney movies. Just don't ever take me to movies like that. I have a rather hearty belly laugh and people know when I'm at a funny movie (or one that's not funny but I can see where it's going and it's going to have a funny moment).

The only number that popped into my head when asked about light was 5280. Great. I had ONE part of the equation. Now if I could only have remembered the multiplier for it.

Good explanation for the speed of light:
