If this column seems more incoherent than usual, the you probably missed last week”s questions about the top local news stories of the first three months of 2010.
If all else fails, have a chuckle making up questions to fit the answers. Or, go online to get the actual questions, if you missed them. Or, if you”re a hoarder, worm your way through your crawlspace filled with old papers, and find last week”s. Or, join me in agreement that this entire exercise was a bad idea and wash your hands of it forever.
Without further ado, the answers to last week”s questions:
1. A cowbell.
2. Beer.
3. Smoking.
4. Burning incense.
5. India.
6. The Daily Times Leader building.
7. The First Federal Bank building.

9. Starkville.
10. West Point.
11. West Point.
12. The police chief.
13. False.
14. Smoke.
15. Neighborhood parks.
16. Pseudoephedrine.
17. Jim Terry.
