  1. Download YouTube videos to your PC (in case you’re afraid a particular video going to get a takedown notice).
  2. God’s Holiester-than-Thou Congresscritters.  At least they seem to think so.  Wow, Colorado is “blessed” with two in the Top Ten!
  3. RIP Wally Schirra — the only man to fly in Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo spacecraft. 
  4. Holy moley!  A 1-foot wide chicken-eating spider!  Yikes!
  5. Birth of a Parrot.  One of those “So Homely It’s Cute” sort of critters.
  6. A kitchen of the future (1999), as of 1967.  I just wanna know what’s in that flower she keeps sniffing …
  7. The origin of Hitler’s moustache.
  8. The Eight Deadly Sins of E-Mail.  Yeah … but you know most of us have done most of ‘em at one time or another …
  9. Why do multiple choice tests suck?  Because there are usually multiple answers.  And, of course, in a standardized test setting, you can’t argue, seek clarification, or even get feedback as to what the desired result was. 
  10. Spouses really do tend to die soon after one another.

The applesauce question made me chuckle, because the correct answer depends on whether you consider applesauce to be a liquid or a solid. If the question involved an unambiguous subject, there’d be no problem.

Yeah — but ambiguity is just what does in so many m/c questions.
