Sanctus crapimus, the posting rate here is out of hand lately.
Qeee1 - for the record - Bike, off Relics. Surprised JR had nothing to say about that one.
And 4000th post was officially dagreatbroomhead. Not to be confused with 4000th reply.
And as for drinking ages, feel free to come spend your tourist dollars up here...drinking age 18 but you rarely get carded after 16.

...Actually it's off piper at the gates of dawn, relics is an early best of collection, that was released without the bands consent. However it's good if you want to get arnold layne and see emily play (2 early singles) without having to shell out for echoes...

#9 - A theory popular among movie buffs and Muppet fans is that the duo was named after Bert the cop and Ernie the taxi driver in the classic Christmas film. According to Jon Stone, a writer for Sesame Street, it is merely a coincidence.
#10 - Four sets. Mosquitoes have four knife-like tools of serrated teeth that surround a pair of fine tubes — one for dripping a pain suppressor and one for sucking blood.
#11 - The largest known kidney stone weighed 1.36 kilograms.
#12 - TV's first toilet was seen on the pilot episode of Leave it to Beaver in 1957. The episode's title was Capatain Jack.
#3 - Are we assuming a musical instrument? Or just an instrument, in general?
