… and yo’ mama.
Vladimir Putin and I were both born on October 7, 1952. He must be my evil twin.

As in “to the nth degree” or “the nth root”
Nope. Two - one on each side.
And I don’t think 3 minutes is a “Long Playing” record.
You were ninja-ed 8 years ago (and again more recently after this zombie was re-vivified).
Not necessarily my favorite trivia question, but I did think of this one:
What two regular cast members (their names were in the opening credits) from All in the Family have been nominated for Oscars?
Rob Reiner - 1993 Best Picture for producing A Few Good Men
Danielle Brisebois - 2015 Best Original Song in Begin Again
What weighs more - an ounce of gold or an ounce of feathers?
And if you think you know that: What weighs more - a pound of gold or a pound of feathers?
gold and feathers respectively. Gold is measured using the troy systems and feathers are measured using the avoirdupois system. Ounces and pounds are different in each but a grain (about 64.8 mg; abbreviated gr) is the same in each. 1 ozt of gold is 480 gr, 1 lbt of gold is 12 ozt or 5760 gr, 1 oz of feathers is 437.5 gr and 1 lb of feathers is 16 oz or 7000 gr.
Ah, meant 30 minutes, pretty long for one side/

Scalpers selling playoff tickets for face value?
This is from personal experience and may not be unique: From 2003 to 2013, the Boston Red Sox played to sellout crowds for 820 consecutive games. This includes the 2004 post-season wherein the Red Sox won the World Series for the first time in 86 years. I went to Fenway Park during the A.L. championship series. The Red Sox were playing their chief rivals, the New York Yankees. While the game was sold out as far as the Red Sox were concerned, scalpers were not finding many buyers. I had two different scalpers offer me pretty-good seats for face value. What recent baseball event had reduced the demand for tickets?
Up to this point, no baseball team had ever won a best-of-seven series after losing the first three games. This was the fourth game and many fans had written-off the Sox for the year.
I realize this is several years later, and that one of these errors was corrected soon after you posted it: the nightclub in Casablanca was Rick’s Café Americain.
The other claim also has a misspelling (it was La Belle Aurore) but what makes you think Rick owned that place? Early in the scene where they hear the German guns in the offing, Rick says that they have to drink up this bottle of champagne and three more, because (Louis? anyway, a man’s name) says he’ll water the garden with it rather than let the Germans get it. Surely whoever said that was the owner, not Rick.
Who first laid out the principles of natural selection?
Patrick Matthew, who published 28 years before Darwin.

What non-sporting, non-geographical relationship do the Kentucky Derby and the Stanley Cup have?
The Kentucky Derby gets its name from a great-grandfather of the person for whom the Stanley Cup is named. Specifically, the Kentucky Derby is named for The Derby (aka the Epsom Derby), named after the 12th Earl of Derby; his grandson’s second son, the 16th Earl of Derby, was Governor-General of Canada and donated what would be known as the Stanley Cup.
Who was the first person to win a Nobel Prize and an Oscar?
George Bernard Shaw. He was pretty pissed off by the Oscar, according to Wikipedia: " Shaw was determined that Hollywood should have nothing to do with the film, but was powerless to prevent it from winning one Academy Award (“Oscar”); he described his award for “best-written screenplay” as an insult, coming from such a source."
But he was fine with the Nobel Price, as far as I know.
