Amnesty?

We're gonna be hip-deep in books filled with drawings of pee-pees and wee-wees because of a hippie, book-burning wimpy idea like this!

She is the perfect example of what the APs seem to like-perky and with an over-the-top personality.  As for her stack, here goes.1. easy-most libraries charge late fees.2. I learned about this on 60 Minutes a while back.  Some people think it ruins the enviroment.3. I read (or heard) this somewhere, maybe on J!.
4. If you've seen any Harry Potter movies, you should know who played Hermione!
5. easy


So I'd be back tomorrow with all my lifelines intact!

A: Girl Scouts of America B: AT&T
C: New York Public Library D: Blockbuster

I think most libraries do this from time to time.

Not college libraries though! I got five research books back a couple days late and got a bill for $500! They reduced it to the regular fine ($25) as soon as I turned in the books.

Question #2 - Level 7: Controversial Collection
Banned in some areas, the controversial method by which natural gas is extracted from rock formations is known as what?

A: Geosteering B: Hydrofracking
C: Well logging D: Core sampling

Don't get me started . . .

Question #3 - Level 10: Actual Inspirations
Despite being seen as a drug reference, the title of the Beatles' song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was actually inspired by what?

A: A child's drawing B: A newspaper headline
C: A classic painting D: A woman's necklace

I'm sure I read this here on the Bored. This was a Beatles youngun, and I think he put it on the refrigerator.

Question #4 - Level 6: In Style
A New York Times blog post titled "Hermione Granger: Fashion Plate" waxed poetic about the stylish clothes of what actress?

A: Amanda Seyfried B: Carey Mulligan
C: Emma Watson D: Anna Kendrick

Although I'm sure I can answer any question about information to be found in the books, I'm not so sure about the movies. No problem with this one.

There was definitely an RIP thread here when Lucy died of lupus a few years ago. It talked about Julian, Lucy, John and the song.

Some people think it ruins the enviroment? When you can ignite the "water" that comes out of your kitchen faucet I'd say your environment has been ruined.
