Flyinfool Posted December 2, 2011 #2 Posted December 2, 2011 I got them all correct, does that mean I am really old?
SMSgt Posted December 2, 2011 #3 Posted December 2, 2011 Nah, you're not really old you are really right.
Trader Posted December 2, 2011 #4 Posted December 2, 2011 So if I got one wrong (well just couldn't think of the answer) that means there's nut much hope I guess. and yes....the nut part was intentional! I couldn't think of an answer for the wooden leg in California!!!
