I can't remember which movie it was in, but my favorite is when Groucho said to a woman, "Is it true you're getting a divorce as soon as your husband regains his eyesight?"

Watching the TV coverage of the Israeli pullout from Gaza, I'm amazed that some of those people are putting up such a fight just because they have to move. Screaming and kicking, they have phony outrage. Boo hoo. Poor babies. Playing to the cameras, they want their 15 minutes of fame. 2/3 of the settlers have already left willingly and peacefully. Those who are refusing to leave are just assholes.

50 questions. I made up all of them myself. Each correct answer is worth 2 points, with a few exceptions: Some questions ask for a character's real name. This does not mean the actor's or actresses's name. Examples: In the cases of Spike and Angel, those are their nicknames.
