1. no idea. I ask the audience, figuring that they know more about the Incredible Hulk than I do.

2. My brother happens to work in IT at a hospital-and he doesn't mind doing tech support for me. This was an easy one.

3. JTQ number 1.

4. B is the only one that I can see supporting something.

5. I've read most of his books (haven't gotten INFERNO from the library yet) so I know this.

6. I know a heart attack is an "infarction", so I go with that.

7. I remember this song-it came out when I was in high school. My German teacher made us translate the lyrics as a class exercise.

No, you will not be the next million-dollar winner, Michelle.

And running through all these dress rehearsals just goes to show how TPTB want actors instead of real people on the show, because real people don't know how they'll react to a highly unusual situation until it happens.
