holy heck, how wrong can it get?
Just got back from a lunch with a pal. This took me roughly 25 minutes to come up with (and a while to type them in). It is wrong- especially after number 8- but at this precise moment, it is almost right. A lot came out of Hillary and Darks' lists. Thanks for the inspiration, dudes!
