Hey paul ^.^ I'm gonna do my best! I've really strained the old cogs and I hope I give you some entertainment, hehe XD okie doke, first question I honestly don't have a clue lol Number 2 I don't know either but I remember but I've hear of a really strange film he did in the 70's called eraser head so I'm going to go for that cause it seems plausible XD number 3, I'm sure that stanley burrell is MC Hammer's real name, and I heard he became a reverand at some point so I'm going to say Mc Hammer. Number 4 the queen was born august 19OO so I'm going to say 101. And number 5, is probably Mr. Van Gogh, his first name has escaped my brain though lol his initicals are v.v gogh so I'll hazard a guess and say vincent cause that's the only 'v' name I know and I love ff7 hehe XD how did I do? And thanks for taking the time to read this, I worked hard
