...a hampster got caught in a blender and the blender was on puree but the hampster had gone through extensive CIA training. Would he be able to make it out alive? Here's what he has in his little hampster pockets: hand mirror, paper clip, two way radio (without batteries), this week's word jumble, some candy (Lifesavers minis), and a hampster-sized Thompson sub-machine gun.

I'm 12 and still scared to death about the dark. I will be in my own room and one side of my room had the door out which was closed and the lights in my room were off and the bathroom is on the other side of my room. the light in there was on. THe light in my bathroom had to be turned off. the second i turned it off my heart stared pounding like crazy and i ran across my room and opened the door and ran out. then i darted down the stairs even though the lights were on. Is this normal?

Is there any way to get an ancestor's tax returns from say the teens 20s or 30s? How would you go about it? I'm interested in researching some family history. Thanks.

Given the opportunity to alter these guys histories before they became scum, please detail what you would do with:

1) Hitler
2) Stalin
3) Judas

Remember, you can't kill them; you have to do something else with them , like find them new jobs / locations / relationships, etc. Life imprisonment is a cheat; try to be creative if you still want to punish.

The 10 goes to the answers that would make the most sense, historically. Good luck!

Being a voracious reader and, for the past three years, a bookstore employee, I have had the opportunity to meet some great authors. Who have you met and what were they like?

My list:

Nathaniel Philbrick (lovely man, a little quiet)
Ray Bradbury (a real gentleman)
Robert Jordan (a little abrupt but I found out later he was sick at the time, so he can be excused)
David Drake (very nice)
Barry Eisler (a funny guy)
George RR Martin (looks like a garden gnomef; a sweet man)
Terry Brooks (lots of fun!)
Greg Keyes (very kind)
Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman (Hickman is a riot!)
RA Salvatore (possibly the most personable, funny author I've worked with)

Yeah, I'm in charge of the SF/Fantasy section if you didn't guess...

My favorite novel is "Something Wicked..." but there are too many fantastic stories for me to choose just one! I must say the most influential story of his was "The Small Assassin"...it definitely made me think twoce about having kids!

It was given to me by an old vet after I wouldn’t accept any money for helping him. I didn’t want to hurt his feelings so I accepted the camera. I have it now so I just as well learn how to use one of these antique creatures.

The thing is I know little about SLRs. I’ve always used aim and shoot type cameras.

I can deal with the manual focus but what about some kind of light meter? Is the little letters EE on the lens for auto focus? What if your using the standard 200 film speed but the dial on top goes from 125 to 250? Which setting do you use?

Is the camera too old to be worth learning how to use? I’m pretty sure the monster telephoto lens he gave me as an extra lens is worth keeping, isn’t it? That puppy is 12" inches long. It’s a Vivitar with the numbers 1:5.5 and f = 400mm on it. If I keep these lens are they compatible with newer cameras?

Thank you for your help.

I started this book and never finished. It was about someone on death row who received a presidential pardon. He was then taken out of the country and ended up in Italy where people were planning on killing him. I can't remember the title or author.

He lives about 50 miles north of Detroit. He is going to craft shows and small town festivals but it seems to be the wrong type of exposure. His work is awesome. His photos come from all over the US and Canada. Some have poems or verses from the Bible.
Or you can have just the photograph. They are in frames and priced VERY reasonable. Are there any businesses out there that might sell his work on consignment or something? I'd like to help, but this is out of my league.
