People tend to chew on the same side of their mouth as their dominant hand.
According to some movie by this Morgan Spurlock guy there are fast food restaurants turning out burgers that never spoil! 
Damn! There goes my amazing trivia in the OP. I’ll have to go check this more closely. Is the Lego character the goblin-looking Flitwick from the first movie (Philopher’s Stone / Sorceror’s Stone) or the human-looking Flitwick from Order of the Phoenix? I seem to remember that the moviemakers had some real brain-twisting logic to explain why there were two different-looking Flitwicks in the movie (they’re supposed to be related or something like that.)
cool? I don’t know why but I find that oddly creepy. 
The cardinal family of birds gets its name from the cassocks worn by Catholic cardinals.
What year did she take the test? The scale has gone up to 2400 since March of 2005. If she took it after that, 1500 isn’t at all impressive.
Mostly wrong, in fact: The Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine (aka the Baby) was the first truly general-purpose electronic computer, as it was the first to store programs in re-writable memory along with data. The ENIAC, at least in its initial form, was not ‘programmed’ so much as re-wired, which isn’t general-purpose.
TECO, one of the first high-level languages focused on doing things to text, probably holds a record (along with BANCStar) for being the least-readable language used in serious programming. Its syntax makes heavy use of single-character tokens; what’s worse, many of those tokens aren’t even part of the printable ASCII repertoire, instead being control characters such as control-S and ‘altmode’ (the character produced by the Escape key; visually represented as ‘$’ when editing TECO sources). It’s so weird because it was never originally designed to be a programming language: The TECO interpreter started life as a text editor, and its programming language is simply the keystrokes you enter to edit text while using it.
The ‘if’ statement as we now know it was born in Lisp; in fact, it is fair to say that most other programming languages grow more sophisticated by stealing ideas from Lisp while their communities mock the ideas they have not yet grabbed.
I’m not sure what year (right now she’s 24, so maybe six or seven years ago.) It was indeed 1500 out of 1600. Here is an NPR article that doesn’t mention the 1500, but does say she got near-perfect scores:

I thought I was smart and did very well on the SAT, but she beat my score by a considerable margin.
