-5. What was the signature outfit of the Fonz on Happy Days?
-6. Is the claw of a hammer a lever, a wedge, or an inclined plane?
-7. When an official complained that the walls of his structure were not high enough to display some of the art, Frank Lloyd Wright suggested they cut the pieces in half. Name the building.

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

Hey Bob, imagine a girly girl trying to tell us guys about hammers.

The only time they use a hammer is when they take off their shoe and use the heel.
