I thought it was called the Huang Ho, but maybe that's not a nice thing to call a river. Anyway, I'm pretty sure it's the Yellow River in China.
2. Howard Hughes was born in what U.S. state?
Texas?
3. What do the letters in “http” in web addresses stand for?
Hypertext transfer protocol
4. What country is the home of the sport of hurling?
Australia, I guess. None of my best girlfriends play that game, unless maybe Oprah does.

Mr. Looking, that was very funny.
I've been wanting to tell you something that I learned by watching my best girlfriend's television show, though. You should apply your lipstick with a lighter touch. Miss Oprah says that will give you a more natural and youthful look.

Pretty good today, Cesar (did you know his friends called him Butch, even though he was decidedly not?). We were going for the same joke on #4, but I think mine is superior if only because it might be correct. Ha!
