Does “Mbube (Wimoweh)” by Ladysmith Black Mambazo count as a version of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”?
- No, because it doesn’t include the familiar “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” text
- Yes, because it has the “wimoweh” and high “deeeee” part
- Maybe, because I refuse to commit to one answer or the other

Metering Lights:
There is a line of cars at a metering light. The car in front of you is driven by a filthy cheater who does not wait for his turn at the light, but instead immediately proceeds as soon as the guy in front of him proceeds. As you pull up to the metering light, it turns green – this would have been the cheater’s green light.
- I go through on that green light, since it is a green light when I get there.
- No, that’s the cheater’s green light, so I stop and wait for “my” green light.
- I am not familiar with metering lights, and/or I don’t know enough about the laws/protocols of metering lights to be able to answer.
- I AM that filthy cheater!

How do you feel about toilet plumes (the spray of toilet contents several feet into the air that occurs when you flush a toilet)?
- It worries me a lot. I close the lid and/or take other measures before flushing a toilet to minimize the plume.

- I know of the issue, but don’t really care.
- I think I’ve heard of it. I don’t really want to know any more details.
- The toilet WHAT now? This is the first I’ve heard of this. Ok, after some Googling, I now have a new phobia. Thanks a lot.
