No google here!

1. Rubber dildo.
2. Blade Runner.
3. The swift one.
4. Church, vampires stuff.

freebe: You are!

that would explain why they changed his name to micky "Mom i know what i want for christmas, to have a rubber dildo to play with all by myself and not with my brother!"

yeah, wise marketing choice there i think

1). Mortimer.
2). Fantasia by Walt Disney.
3). Gayetty's Medicated Paper.

Wouldn't 3 be Corncobs? Not Gay medical paper?

3). Sears catalog ;)
4). finger crossing is widely thought to have started as a way for christians to conceal their faith from the Romans for fear of meting the same fate as their savior ;)

Your joking right? I searched and searched for those answers. I got them from reliable geeky sources m8!

3). Sears Catalogue? Nope, definetly Gayetty's medicated paper. Catalogue pages were used before the widespread acceptance of toilet-paper, which was way before 1890, more like 1860-1870's. Toilet paper was actually invented in 1857, by Joseph Gayetty.

4). Is definetly not the Romans as it was ye old locals in Medieval England who would cross their fingers when passing someone they suspected of being a witch. Think Monty Python and The Holy Grail and you'll be along the right lines. Proof Right Here: http://ask.yahoo.com/ask/20021017.html

Sorry if I sound a little nit like S..P..E..F..T... or whatever his name is! :thumbup:
