Sunday Stealing

 

Welcome to Sunday Stealing.   Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the
blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. Cheers to all of us thieves!

This week we're inspired by Blogography. More than 20 years ago, he stole this meme from Neil, his blogging buddy. Alas, Neil's blog no longer exists, so that's where the trail goes cold.
