I'll take TRUE to all of the above for $200 Alex. *g* (With the possible exception of #1, but only because I am not ENTIRELY positive that it counts as chicken if you are not really expecting the other person to back down. Still TANK!! ♥)

1. TRUE!
2. I've neither read Dante nor seen Apocalypse Now, so I have no opinion.
3. False. :( I think I had a cricket as a kid, though. Probably broke it.
