Because Dan ain't got nothin'

   Alright, you crybabies. Quit yer complainin'. Here I am, and here's an entry for you. A good friend sent this to me via e-mail. See how many you can get without using Google. I claim a score of eight out of twelve, although I got kinda creative on the last one. If you want the answers, let me know, and I will e-mail them to you.
