1. When I was 21, I married a woman 8 years older than me on our first date.
Don't you mean you proposed to her on the first date? Unless you were in Vegas or something?

Anyway, I'll guess that

That is true, but a precedent has been established in the thread that numbers given are totals.

Answer:

I did once drink a cup of olive oil (as a home remedy, absolutely disgusting) :-p
I also got the visa without having any logical funds (I found a sponsor).

I never did graduate three times with cum laude, although I did get close twice (both times I messed up the last exam) :frown:

Ooh, this was a good set. They're all about equally rare, and the level of detail could easily make any of them false by a smidge. I don't know why I'm choosing this one.

So, you're the little woman with the high, squeaky voice from Poltergeist? You're Dr. Ruth Westheimer?

No, there's nothing wrong with my voice, it just happened when I don't speak loud and clear!

(I love it when people ask me that!)
Bass Sax. Some 40 years ago, the Eagles used to have a marching band that played during half-time, etc. At that time, my brother owned the only Bass Sax in existence in the Delaware Valley and could play it well so he was able to join any band he wanted.

By the way, I took the GRE test along with the specialized Math test after completing three years worth of undergraduate credits in two years. On the basis of those test results, Temple U. accepted me into the Math graduate program even though I didn't have an undergraduate degree. I got my Master's in a year and a half, so after 3 and a half years of university education I had a Master's degree, but no Bachelors.
