The "Nearly Impossible Question" for Friday, April 15, 2011:

The "Nearly Impossible Question" BONUS QUESTION:
You can expect to live to __75__ if you have a __ smoke__, or __85__ if you don't.
Hi friends! Happy Thursday to you all.
I have to say that I loved some of your answers on yesterday's NIQ... they made me smile... I have to hand out some "SCG Brownie Points" ... I'll do that in a few.
First, I want to mention that this NIQ is for both Thursday AND Friday...as I am heading out of town later Thursday evening and won't have access to the internet utnil sometime Friday. I promise I have not left you hanging though... I have provided you below with TWO NIQ's (one for Thursday, one for Friday), as well as a Bonus NIQ... a "Fill-in-the-Blank" NIQ... one that I have altered myself... and you have to try and guess what the missing pieces are... if you are up for the challenge! You should have enough to keep you all occupied until my return on Friday night. You all may post on here as much as you want between now and let's say 10:00 PM Friday night. That's when I'll be on to give you all the answers & post Saturday's NIQ. Have fun!
OK... now to Wednesday's NIQ... we had a grand total of TEN winners! Yes, that's right.. .TEN!!! So what did they guess correctly? Let's see... The Question for Wednesday was... 38% of men surveyed said that they thought women who DIDN'T do *this* were MORE attractive. What is it?
OK,... so let's go ahead and see what I have in store for you all for the next two days, shall we?

The "Nearly Impossible Question" BONUS QUESTION: Should you choose to play the bonus question... this is a little different then the regular NIQ. This is a "Fill-in-the-Blank" type question. (This is NOT in a Question/Answer format... the answer is a part of the question.) You see 3 blanks below... I have provided hints to two of them... those blanks are a part of the actual question. The third blank simply has a question mark... that is the answer to the question that has been incorporated into the question itself. Your job is the guess not only the answer, but the missing parts of the question. (Yes... I had to make it somewhat difficult... after all, it is a bonus question! ) You up for the challenge? Give it a try... what have you got to lose?
You can expect to live to _78_(age)__ if you have a _wife_?__, or __72(age)__ if you don't.
PLEASE... PLEASE... PLEASE SPECIFY WHAT QUESTION WHICH ANSWER GOES TO! Since we have 2, possibly 3 questions going here, if you just put answers, I might get confused and not give you proper credit if you guess correctly. I don't mind you all posting multiple times, and having fun... I enjoy that... just as long as you state what answer is your serious answer and what answer goes to what question (T, F, or B will suffice) ... and then the rest are just for laughs & fun. That's all I ask... that, and NO GOOGLE OR INTERNET CHEATING!!!
As John de Lancie ("Q" from Star Trek: TNG) once said... "The hall is rented, the orchestra engaged. It's now time to see if you can dance." Well can you? I guess we'll see! GOOD LUCK FOLKS... & have fun, please!! I will see you all Friday. Remember... no cheating!

So it wasn't "all about boobs" for Wednesday?? I'm surprised. No, AksarbaN, I'm not always right. My winning streak just got "busted".

Hmmmm. Where was I mentally in the 1980s? I never even come close to getting the 1980s questions, right.
I was thinking maybe a hand pushed lawnmower but I think I'll go with a typewriter.

Should you choose to play the bonus question... this is a little different then the regular NIQ. This is a "Fill-in-the-Blank" type question. (This is NOT in a Question/Answer format... the answer is a part of the question.)
You can expect to live to __(age)__ if you have a __?__, or __(age)__ if you don't.
I think I know the answer to the bonus question because I have been using it to make a case to support gays who want to get married...although I'm not sure about the ages, I think I read that marriage adds 5 years to your life but I don't know the age numbers. Presumably, they mean a good one.
You can expect to live to age 82 if you have a spouse or age 77 if you don't.
I think the only other possible answer is a pet but I'm sticking with "a spouse."
