Very Important Questions I Want Answers To, and other stories

Can you aggregate magpies? What happens when you see one, and then a few seconds later another one? Is that double sorrow or single joy? What if you see eight? This has been annoying me for *years*.

Modern etiquette: is it cheating to use Google on the King William's Quiz, or do you suppose they design the questions with that in mind these days? I can essay seven off the top of my head, but three of them are even direr guesses than usual... :(

Also, I agree with nearly all of these, especially the best/worst speech awards ^_^

"Eight for a letter from over the sea,
Nine for a lover as true as can be..."

Or alternatively

"Eight for heaven, nine for hell,
Ten for the devil his own sel'"
