| 41 | Did you ever see Keanu in Much Ado About Nothing? It is actually a good film, but he's totally miscast. It was the first time I ever saw him play anything besides a doofy California guy (the Bill & Ted movies, Speed) and I was shocked to realize he actually talks like that. I had thought it was an act, but he sounds the same even in Shakespeare. Can't complain about his looks, though. | What is the worse case of movie miscasting that you have come across? |

| 43 | 40N 75W I thought this was going to be about confluences of water. | What is the closest confluence to you? |
| 44 | Once when I was a kid I got my hand caught in the hinged side of a heavy swinging door. Ouch! I got to go home from school early though, and I didn't break anything. When my brother was a kid he got his hand shut in a car door, and started screaming. It was a classic incident of the boy who cried wolf, because my Mom & I didn't pay any attention at first. He yelled and screamed all the time for no reason. He had to articulate what was wrong before we noticed there was a problem. | Have you ever had your fingers slammed in a door? |
| 45 | I would try it for a year and see how it was. If I enjoyed it I might stay longer. Can I have gardening implements instead of the fishing gear and guns? | How many years for how many millions? |
| 46 | I was surprised. I expected crumbs and dust, but nothing came out. | What's in your keyboard? |
| 47 | No, I do not find freckles attractive, but I do find some people with freckles attractive. | Do you find freckles attractive? |
| 48 | Usually I go to bed between 12-2 which is way too late when I am working, since I have to get up at 6:30. | What time do you usually go to bed? |
| 49 | This is sort of a grey area. I have a valid driver's license, but actually it is not for the state I live in. I have lived here almost a year, and I am moving next month. I haven't bothered to go and get a license here because it is a hassle. I'd have to go and take a test and the DMV is inconvienently located, with inconvienent hours. I figure at this point I'll just get a new one after I move (especially since it is less of a hassle in that state) | Are you legally permitted to operate an automobile? |
| 50 | Americans generally don't say half past, but it seems like they were uncommonly stupid if they didn't know what you meant. It would be a lot more common to hear quarter after than quarter past, and we say quarter till as well. | What are the words, phrases, and spellings that you know differ from American English and British English? |
