I have a hard life recently, I think... And today I became a little bit more happy or optimistic :D ;D :) 8), because of these 2 reasons:
1. A Skype pal called me "brother". :D
2. My new neighbor is a pretty girl. :)
Simple ones, but... you can imagine how hard is my life now, if sooooo simple things are able to make me a bit more optimistic and happy!

I'm sorry. This is nothing about the answers of the trick questions! 7 million pageviews is impressive, but it's off-topic. Really sorry about this!
