I hate to ruin your day but I first heard Pearl Jam on a classic rock station over five years ago.

C’mon, everyone knows Soylent Red is chock full of preservatives.

In case I am risking being spanked for breaking the rules, I just want to be clear that my #1 and #2 are fears, not jokes. :cool:

wow! I wasn’t last!

54

Me either! Shocking.

55

Hmm, better showing than last time. Wish I had thought of Brittany Spears.

56

After some recent poor showings, I’m glad to have made the top ten.

But I was surprised by some of the answers. Do people really think we’re on the verge of having transporters and replicators? Or even phasers or a lunar colony?

57

There is prototype (of sorts) of a replicator already in operation - see?

58

No, but I think other people think we are on the verge of having transporters, etc. That is the idea, to try to match other people. apparently, by my 28th out 35 showing, and I am doing a terrible job of it.

Thanks Rebo!, and thanks to 42fish!

59

Huzzah for my new personal best!

60

34th is pretty bad for me even out of 50. At least I had Britney Spears.
