Hero

Carl West is an unassuming all-American 24 year old . You might think that because he works in a convenience store that he's not the brightest guy you're likely to meet. Yet this slightly scruffy young man in his Nike sneakers , was smart enough to break a fake story that successfully fooled the world for 35 years . "I guess I just got lucky," West smiles. " It just goes to show you don't have to finish high school to be smart."

Forty Years' Study

"I've spent 40 years in astronomical study, and 20 years of that specifically in Satellite Systems study. I have a University chair in three major Universities and sat on 5 different governmental committees on Space Exploration. Hell, I wrote a research paper on the Lunar Landings that took 18 months to research, then a further 3 months just to correct it." Steven pauses to scratch his head. "Yet not once did it occur to me to wonder who filmed Armstrong as he stepped onto the moon. How could I have been so stupid? "

The Evidence

* If Armstrong was the first to walk on the moon, then who filmed him walking down the ladder?

* There's no gravity on the moon, so why didn't the astronauts just float away?

* It's really hot on the moon, so Armstrong should have died of thirst.

* The deadly radiation belts around the Earth turn everyone radioactive and make your eyes boil unless you are wearing 18 inches of lead . So how did they get through it? What are the answers to this following set of questions: 1. Who spend many decades studying space?
2. How long?
3. How many years studying satellite-related things?
4. Does he have prestige at colleges?
5. How many different schools?
6. Has he written papers on outer space-related things?
7. How long did he take to write one?
8. What did he never question?
9. Who was the one who thought of it?
10. How old is he?
11. Does he have prestige at colleges?
12. Where does he work?
13. Is he clean shaven?
14. How old was the false information he was responsible for breaking?
15. Did he believe it was hard work that caused this result?

Torx (pronounced ), developed in 1967 by Camcar Textron, is the trademark for a type of screw head characterized by a 6-point star-shaped pattern. A popular generic name for the drive is "star", as in star screwdriver or star bits. The official generic name, standardized by the International Organization for Standardization as ISO 10664, is hexalobular internal. This is sometimes abbreviated in databases and catalogs as 6lobe (starting with numeral, "6", not a capital letter, "G"). Torx Plus is an improved head profile.

Torx screws are commonly found on automobiles, motorcycles, bicycle brake systems (disc brakes), hard disk drives, computer systems and consumer electronics. Initially, they were sometimes used in applications requiring tamper resistance, since the drive systems and screwdrivers were not widely available; as drivers became more common, tamper-resistant variants, as described below, were developed. Torx screws are also becoming increasingly popular in construction industries.

By design, Torx head screws resist cam-out better than Phillips head or slot head screws. Whereas Phillips heads were allegedly designed to "cause" the driver to cam out, to prevent overtightening, Torx heads were designed to "prevent" cam-out. The development of better torque-limiting automatic screwdrivers for use in factories allowed this change. Rather than rely on the tool to slip out of the screw head when a desired torque level is reached (which risks damage to the driver tip, screw head, and/or workpiece), torque-limiting driver designs achieve a desired torque consistently. What are the answers to this following set of questions: 1. When was Torx created?
2. by who?
3. Is it trademarked?
4. What is it?
5. What's special about it?
6. What do people like to call it?

15. Which one makes the driver cam out?
16. Why?
17. What do Torx stop?
18. What does a slot head do best?
19. Where are Torx starting to get more popular?

(CNN) -- Achtung, baby!

Sacha Baron Cohen stars as a flamboyant Austrian fashionista in "Bruno."

There's a British theory that everything sounds funnier delivered with a Teutonic accent. That's tested to the limit in Sacha Baron Cohen's newest provocation, "Bruno," but it's not what comes out of his mouth that makes the Austrian fashionista such a handful.

The man in the tight yellow lederhosen knows that in our visually overstimulated culture, a picture is vorth a thousand vords. More if there's significant skin involved -- and he's happy to show us his wurst.

Cohen seems to believe that prudery is the enemy. Certainly, bad taste is his Trojan horse. An early montage of romantic coupling, Bruno-style, is enough to get tongues wagging -- or clucking in disapproval. It's the closest thing to gay porn most heterosexuals will see this side of "300."

Either way, Cohen's laughing: Properly managed, outrage is a useful marketing tool, as "Borat" showed.

Apparently permanently airbrushed right down to his backside, Bruno looks nothing like his hirsute Kazakh cousin, but the men share an ego; they're equally insensitive to other people and oblivious to notions of social decorum and the politically correct.

And they both invest heavily in the American Dream. Bruno hungers after fame as hungrily as Borat lusted for Pamela Anderson.

After a brief prologue in Europe -- and the distressing revelation of the vacuity of the fashion scene -- he sets out for Los Angeles, determined to become Austria's "biggest superstar since Hitler."

Perhaps inspired by another Cohen creation, Ali G, he sets out to make a celebrity interview show -- but sadly, the only dupes ignorant enough to participate are "American Idol" judges (Paula Abdul chats about her philanthropic pursuits while perched on the back of an immigrant laborer) and presidential candidates (take a bow, Ron Paul). What are the answers to this following set of questions: 1. What does he star in?
2. What accent is thought to be funny?
3. Who think that?
4. What country is the star from?
5. What brightly colored outfit is he known to wear?
6. WHat is his "trojan horse"?
7. Who does he not resemble at all?
8. What do the men share?
9. and what are they not aware of?
10. What do they fully invest in?
11. What does the star hunger for?
12. Where does the film begin?

1. Bruno
2. Teutonic

5. lederhosen
6. bad taste
