Ask Google

I did this once a long time ago, but thought it might be fun to try again.  Here's the deal: I chose ten questions to pose to the mighty Google search engine.  I typed in each question as it's written below, no quotation marks.  The answer to the first question [she decided] was the first sentence of the first result summary.  The answer to the second question was the first sentence of the second result summary.  And so on.  The answers ranged from blunt (see Q1) to depressing (Q2) to cryptic (Q6) but all were mildly entertaining!  Emphasis on mildly.  Forgive me, it's a slow week.  I'm enjoying it.  Minor league baseball on Thursday!
