		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m reviving the long-neglected Question Time! category of this here blog in order to pose a puzzler (at the risk of resounding silence from my small-but-dedicated readership).
Take a look at the following scene from 1992&#8217;s Batman Returns (aptly entitled as &#8220;Does This Mean We Have To Start Fighting?&#8221;):

It&#8217;s probably my favorite moment from this, my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a question I&#8217;m tossing out: How much money do you usually withdraw during a typical ATM transaction?
I ask because I&#8217;ve noticed that, now that I&#8217;m in New York, I typically take out 60 bucks whenever I visit the machine. In Florida, I used to be covered just taking out $40 each time.
Why the discrepency? [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m not too sure how many New Yorkers are reading this blog, now that I&#8217;m also New York-based. Maybe this question will serve to smoke out some citydwellers:

Damn. That means I&#8217;ve got to do another one. And with a theme, yet. Smacks of work.
But hey, anything for fun. So in that spirit, let me link this week&#8217;s edition with something I&#8217;ve been acutely aware [...]]]></description>

Well, actually, I&#8217;m going to do only five songs. I know my short attention-span audience &#8212; the briefer, the better.

Yet another societal trend that indicates that I&#8217;m either way ahead of [...]]]></description>
