    So, can you pick the correct answers for our 3 WTF questions which follow?
    Please choose your answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each of the following question.   
    Ok, dig out your slide-ruler, your logarithm tables, and your Heads and Shoulders (as you scratch your head) for your answers....

++ QUOTE FromThis Day In History ++ -- by a 20-year old, upon hearing about the death of the first female prime minister of the UK, Margaret Thatcher (April 8, 2013):

"OMG! You mean that Cher singer died -- who was married to that Dead Man Skiing -- Stoney Bozo? Shut your face, wait 'til my Mom hears this -- she's old 'nuff to remember who she was!"
