    Rocco : PhD level. =D
    Rachel : And beyond. =D

    Ann: It's like asking someone "How do you brush your teeth?"

    TFF vs. World's Biggest Idiots:
    Matt :
    y = X x T
    -----
    C x V
    y= -6
    Rachel : For what, may I ask? Your intelligence?
    Let X, T, C and V all equal zero.
    Rachel : And you'd still come up with -6, because, let's face it, you're not the brightest spark.

    TOM: thought id take a pic of mine [his penis] and show u's

    Rachel says:
    Quite sure.
    Hayden says:
    maybe its me
    Rachel says:
    I seriously doubt that your IQ is high enough for it to occur to you that you cannot walk through solid objects.

    =Lily on Freema Agyeman [Slightly paraphrased]=
    Lily says: Freema is so pretty.
    Lily says: I wish I was her.
    Lily says: She is mind-bogglingly sexy.
    Lily says: Seriously, if I had to choose between her and David Tennant, I'd SO choose her.
    Lily says: *glomps Freema to death and rips her clothes off*

    Okay. I have to give information about one of these questions, as it is completely lost to people who are not from New England. Moxie is a popular soda brand in New England. I personally don't drink soda, but I remember it as being horrible. Friends I had visit from Michigan agreed. Worst aftertaste ever. Mega acquired taste.

    (Yay to Dr. O asking for Moxie!)
