Wow. I don't think I've ever seen so many questions that Duhg won't be able to answer in the same post. A barrage of quality Duhg- humiliating goodness is that.

(Oh, BTW, as far as "Why did you post this to URC?" is concerned: It has been decreed by the group moderator, Guy Chapman, that off-topic posts *are* allowed just as long as they're anti-motorist enough. Just a hunch but I think the OP in this thread probably qualifies as such.)
