Questions . . .

I have some questions about random stuff, so if you know the answer to any of these, please make my day. Some are rhetorical though. Go ahead and answer those if you want, it'll still make my day.

• At fast food restaurants, if it's old school, the order gets put on paper, and then put on a 'bulletin board' like thing that holds it up for the chef's (cooks? workers? what would you use? ahh, yet another question to be answered) to see and work with. Well how does that thing hold the slips of paper? It can't be a clip, because whoever puts it there practically throws it on there and it just sticks. Anyone?
• What? Lil' Wayne has a blog? What? He blogs for ESPN? What? He is so serious about it, he got an ESPN tattoo? What? It's actually an alright sports blog and kinda interesting to read? (No, seriously. Check it out.)
• How screwed is the economy? The previous two Tuesday Morning Quarterbacks (on ESPN), Gregg Easterbrook wrote about how these bailout plans are pretty ridiculous and how the next generation (wait, you mean my generation??) is going to have to pay heavily for it. So again, I implore, how screwed are we, and who is down to move to Europe and keep me company? I hear their European (American) Football League is the fourth best league in the world.
• Why is this foam padding that I see on my right made of hexagonal structures . . . I want to take it, but it's part of the machine . . . Do you think anyone will notice? Trust me, it's worth it, I just need that second opinion.
  
• How did Shaun Livingston's knee injury not get career ending status (correct me if I'm wrong), yet Darius Mile's knees that just got normal 'athlete' surgury (I think it's arthroscopic, might have been something else in this case) get that tag? Will Livingston become competent again? He is playing in Miami (apparently), and the PG role is wide open
• Will the Boom Tho movement gain in France?
• Will shirt.woot.com ever come out with another good shirt? It's been 2 months since I saw a good one worth buying. And these are $10 good quality shirts. The designs just aren't that amazing right now
• Will the Zune overtake the iPod in the next 3 or 4 years? (One of those rhetorical questions again, with the obvious answer being a resounding yes we can. This message is approved by Obama)
• If Lil' Wayne or T.I. suddenly dropped dead, would there be a tribute at the VMA's, Grammy's, BET Awards, etc.? They are established in the mainstream music industry, but is it enough to warrant an actual tribute? Biggie and Tupac get tributes, but Dwyane Carter and Cliffort Joseph Harris Jr.?
• Gotta go with the classic: how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop. BUT. Don't google that question. I don't care whose daughter did what test. I need raw, unused data. So quit reading this without a tootsie pop in your mouth, and get cracking. Or licking.
  
• Seriously. How was the first computer programmed. Don't say punch cards, because that means that you put punch cards into a machine and it knows what to do with that stuff by itself. How? That thing that knows what to do with the punch cards is a computer itself. So how was that made.
• What do you think of Phillip Rivers in comparison to the new, young core of quarterbacks, a.k.a. Romo, Palmer, Rodgers, Roethlisburger, Cutler? I feel he is overrated, and a punk. And you know what I think about punks.
• Last question of the day: will Gilbert Arenas return to full form, or will he become the new Allan Houston?
