Q 4: My brain said "springer spaniel" before the choices came up. Well, that wasn't there, but what may for all I know (haven't looked it up yet) be another name for springer spaniel was, so I 'd go with it.

I knew all the rest of them cold (on Q6 helps to be a Bones if not a New Girl fan).


I do not oppose giving money to charity. If I won a million, or even less than a million, I'd probably give some of it to charity. Charities. Over the years. But I don't want to get on BAM in order to win money for charity. Nuh-uh. Unless we all agree that "charity begins at home".

I've never watched either of the shows but I know that "New Girl" stars Zooey Deschanel and she has a sister, whose first name I don't know. So it has to be "B".
