    Well, the cure is to play Russian Roulette with a revolver loaded with silver bullets....

    How do I keep the bathtup drain unclogged when I'm shedding?
    Why sabre? Because you don't take heads with the point.

    Dear Mr. Shedder. The best thing is to get ahead of the problem before it gets to be a problem.

    Get a trimmer and carefully shave your entire body. It's a good thing if you can time your shedding/shaving with springtime, the wildlife birds will have much use for your fur when nesting.

    Alternatively, may I suggest Veet?

    Send your boss a note explaining what a jackass he is... and that you left him a "surprise" in his desk drawer.

    Q: When I get pulled over by the cops, what's the best way to impress them and get out of a ticket?

    Watch the Dave Chapelle skit about "How not to get beat up by the cops" and do the opposite....

    There's no advice for that. It's just impossible. Plastic surgery and a personality makeover maybe?

    Have you considered consuming large amounts of stimulant drugs? Hype yourself up on something speedy and the rest of the day will pass in a blur.

    Microchip her. With a chip you can track by satellite.

    Given the evil and vexing nature of saber, I'd say to place them on Sir Bedevere's largest scales with a duck on the other side. Either that or build a bridge out of it.

    Buy about 10,000 more and let them loose in your house. Just by random actions they should have your house spotless by the time you get home.

    How can I pick the right 6 numbers for the lottery?

    Oh, this is great! I was just talking to a professional budgie trainer the other day about this same topic!

    It's a long process, but I'll try to outline it as simply as I can. (For more info, go to http://www.budgies.org/ ) What you have to do first is establish your primacy over the budgies and clarify your "alpha bird" status. The quickest way usually involves eating some of the bird feed first or physically bumping the other budgies away from the female during mating season. After that, they'll be ready to follow you anywhere and mimic your actions. So you'll want to start with simple processes, such as picking up lint off the floor (which they may use to make nests) or dropping dirty silverware in the sink. Budgies are surprisingly strong and dextrous, so don't be surprised to see them playing with your sheets, too, when you make your bed. After each task, you should put down a bit of bird seed, bread crumbs or a steak (medium-rare) as a reward treat. In about three weeks you'll start to notice the budgie "pack" performing these jobs on their own, reinforced by random food rewards and your praise (short whistles and humming Barry White tunes help).

    If you notice the behaviors fading over time, you can either reinforce the training, or teach your cat to take over using the budgies themselves as reward.

    Simple! Never give out any rep.

    Go to the local news stand and ask... (you have to be quite specific about this) for tomorrow's newspaper. Look up the lottery results from the previous day. Go buy a ticket for those numbers. WINNER!!!

    Open them, and click on links that you see which will lead you to their site. From there, try to find out how to unsubscribe.

    What should I do to prepare for my next fencing tournament?

    Doughnuts, lots and lots of doughnuts. Go live at Krispy Kreme for a few weeks, and once you can eat like three dozen doughnuts at one time, only then will you be ready.

    What's a good way to let a girl know you like her?
