I’d have a terrible time with some of those questions. *laugh*
I thought so! I even referenced you in one of my answers!

Some of them would just be culturally difficult; I don’t think I’ve ever driven anywhere with a points system on licenses, for example, so…well, no, I’ve never lost any.
Having actually seen Manos: The Hands of Fate, though, I can answer the one about worst movie with great confidence. 😀

hehe. Let me know if you ever master the whole breathing underwater thing, it would be useful!
Bloody useful!
