Also very very wrong. When I say architecture -- thank brain of the computer.

you would be surprised at what the internet is calling computer architecture

"Longest song to reach #1 on Billboard: "American Pie" by Don McLean (8:36)"

Straight outta the record books.

I will reluctantly give you the points, since I should have phrased my question in a more distinct manner.

I can give you the right (I think) answer if it will appease

I'm looking for the longest song to top the US, UK, and World charts. To my knowledge, American Pie didn't do that.

Can I guess again on that one?

Edit: n/m I see where I got the points. Thanks

Finally somebody who had a valid architecture. But wrong. Everybody can now have a second guess on this question. Here's your hint:

Snoop around Gentoo.org and Debian.org download pages.

RE: Survivor Challenge 6
2 pts: On what network did Mystery Science Theatre 3000 first broadcast on?

3 pts: What does the title of the following song translate to in English -- AND what language is the title originally in? (The song gets much better after two minutes, I promise.)




3 pts: What commercial is the below song from? If you've been watching college football this should be hauntingly familiar....

UPS for the "WTF song"?

I was sitting at work refreshing waiting on more questions. And they all come while I'm afk at home.
