Pic: Maybe later. I don't really have any decent ones laying around.

Other stuff: I traveled from Pittsubrgh to NYC last summer to audition for the Jeopardy! College Championship. I failed the test. Not extraordinarily, mind you, but I was not in the passing group.

Can't think of much else at the moment.

I should probably add "in before the lock," too, since this thread will undoubtedly sink to the bowels of forum debauchery.
