Do you like the band Bay City Rollers? If so, what is your favorite song?
I prefer more established Glam Rock to them, but they are quite catchy and I can see why they were immensely popular in their day. Favourite songs include 'Shang-a-Lang', 'Summerlove Sensation', 'Love Me Like I Love You' and the awesome 'Saturday Night' which didn't even chart in the UK for some reason.

The UK last won in '97 with 'Love Shine a Light' by Katrina and the Waves. But although the kitsch might be fun and the cheesy songs might be catchy, let's be honest - the competition is totally unfair! It's so blatant these days that countries will tend to award most points to their friends and allies rather regardless of whether the music is any good!

About 9 seconds. The WTC was 110 storeys high at 417 metres from roof to ground. Using calculations of motion s=ut+1/2(at(squared)) where s=distance, u=initial speed=0, t=time and a=acceleration due to gravity=9.8m/s/s, it'd have taken about 9.22 seconds to fall.

If it does contain air and this is carried up to space, wouldn't it immediately get sucked out as the doors are opened and cause the payload to be at peril in the ensuing hurricaine? Or is it allowed to seep out somehow as the shuttle rises?

Many traditions such as Christmas celebrations are being restricted in British schools for fear of offending other religious groups. Do you believe this helps or hinders race relations?
This premise is highly patronizing and damaging because it suggests one group is superior over others - that those who celebrate Christmas are more tolerant than those who do not. Therefore it can only hinder race relations.

There's also promession which was developed in Sweden. The body and coffin is frozen to -18c and then dipped in liquid nitrogen at -196c. This makes it extremely brittle and is then literally shaken into powder on a vibrating pad. This is usually put into a small, biodegradable box which can be buried and eventually absorbed into the earth.
