Thanks, Krys. But my point is that all these "unbelievable" math "coincidences" usually involve some rather simple math functions with a little bit of juggling to hide what's happening. In this case, a couple of the steps involve adding 1, multiplying by 250, and subtracting 250. Others involve multilying by 2 and then dividing by 2. It's a cute trick, but hardly "unbelievable." Here's a slightly more complex one: Pick any number between 10 and 10,000. Calculate the sum of the digits. (For example: 453 -- 4+5+3 = 12) Subtract that number from the original number. Calculate the sum of the digits of your result. Is the number greater than 10? Then calculate the sum of the digits of THAT number. Repeat the last step until the result is less than 10. The result is 9. (No matter what your starting number was. In fact, this works for ANY integer greater than 10.) George

Well, gee... let's see: 1. is wrong. I did this in my head 3 and 5 together multiply your phone exchange by 20,000 (doubling it and adding four zeros) 5 and 8 together negate 4 6 and 7 together add double your last four phone number digits, so now we have twice your phone number 9 then gives you your phone number George

Since I'm pretty sure I'm right on Bluzeman's song, here's another pretty easy one: She's passed out on the floor. George

"Zoolander"? George

Sorry if this breaks up the sentiment, but it does remind me of one of my favorite exchanges from "The Simpsons": MARGE: "Homer, I miss the children." HOMER: "You lie!" MARGE: "Well...I feel bad about NOT missing them." George

When I first moved to Texas, someone lent me her copy of How to Speak Southern. She didn't think it was funny, because she spoke exactly as in the book! :lol: A couple that missed ex70's list: NOME: a child's response to his mother. "Jew break the winner with thishere baseball?" "Nome." WRETCHED: man's name. "Wretched Burton is a fan actor." George

Raf? Raf? RAF!!!! George

We've occasionally had people pop in out of turn, adn then we wind up having separate threads going, and it gets confusing. On the other hand, I know how frustrating it can be when you have a line you want to use but can't guess anyone else's clues. We COULD let Doojable post her clue with the caveat that getting it right doesn't give you the next turn. That belongs to whoever gets Flow7's clue. (Of course, if Dooj gets Flow's clue, the point is moot!) George

"Saturday in the Park" by Chicago. I always thought the line was "singing foreign songs." George

I read Archie comics until about 1970. (When the prices went up, I stuck with the super-hero stuff and ditched the "funny books.") I did watch the cartoon show (and, I think, "Josie and the Pussycats"). I remember that Archie's last name was Andrews, Jughead's was Jones, and Veronica's was Lodge; but I can't remember Betty's and Reggie's last names. Nor, for that matter, Big Ethyl's, Moose's, or Midge's. Can anyone help me out? George

I prefer the old Bill Phillips "doo-wop" version, but Robert Plant's styling on it is good, too. George

Correct, of course. Your turn. George

Yes, Dooj got several of the clues (among her many guesses). Keep working... George (And Raf's clue should help, too!)

Got booted for thinking. Probably wouldn't have been around too much longer, though. George

Happy Birthday, Radar! No "blue" faces today! George

Sorry. OCCASIONALLY I have other things to do. Go for it. George

"To Live or Die in L.A."? George

No, Joey needs all the prayer he can get. I know how you feel, though. George

Actually, no. I'd forgotten that there was a movie called "Redeye." (About an airplane, I think.) I actually have seen "Crimson Tide," so it came to me instead. George

Red dye = "Crimson Tide"? George

Raf got it. Good tries, the rest of you! George

I should also point out that the song had to be actually heard on the radio, not just your favorite song on some album. (Of course, anything post-1980 would have to be a BIG hit for me to remember it.) George

You've got the right idea, you're just not seeing "the big picture" for the first clue. George

I didn't see the "magic fridge" commercial during the game (must have been a "bio-break"). I just saw it on the link Mark put up. It was pretty funny! George

I got a big kick out of the FedEx caveman commercial and the Michelob Amber "touch football" commercial. The "Godzilla and robot have Hummer baby" was just creepy. And the "Whopperettes" was an amusig idea, but the commercial was too long. George Oh, and from Mark's link, it appears that we didn't see all the GoDaddy (whatever that is) commercials. Pity...
