Q1) She is a bonafide "World Series of Poker"champion bracelet winner,
and she did it before the game became "all the rage" the world over.

Q2) Can damage hearing after 1 hour exposure per day (http://www.abelard.org/hear/hear.htm#how-loud)

Q3) Neka 13452 posts as of 7:38PM Mon 07 April - probably many more by the time you read this.

OK, Back to the questions

1) DJ Fat Boy Slim is also known as?

2) The worlds first production motorcycle was a 1500CC twin (about 1000 were made). But who made it and in what year. Bonus kudos for getting its HP and top speed?

3) What event caused Ronster to reduce his Signature to 'C'?
