It's Our Anniversary

Dateline: 08/28/97

Wow, how time flies! This article marks my 25th article! I'm elated, to say the least! Thanks to all of you who have consistently been with me from the beginning, and thanks to all the recent additions.

To celebrate, I've pulled some super secret hidden questions from my Previous Features. Do you remember the answers? See how many you can answer off of the top of your head. If necessary, visit my Previous Features page. All of the answers are contained in my first 24 articles. I'll post the answers in next weeks' feature. Happy hunting!

Question 4
