Outline
00:45 - Intro - The Sun Shines On Our Dark Planet!

06:33 - My friend and I were hanging out one day and I asked her for the time. She said "Oh, it's almost seven in the afternoon." I was confused, and said "Oh, you mean seven in the evening?" She said "No, it's seven in the afternoon." She even said that her friends also call it "seven in the afternoon", and proved that, after 12 PM, it's always "after noon", until 12 AM. Am I in the wrong, or is she? -- Stuck in Time in California

10:38 - Y - Sent in by Aaron Palmer, from Yahoo Answers user Bill Dyks, who asks: "Could the police still arrest me if I had plans to get a pizza delivered to me? If the police show up at my door and arrest me for a crime I did but at the same time, I was waiting for a pizza that I ordered that didn’t come yet, what will happen? What if I tell the police that I need to wait for my pizza to be delivered and if I had plans for someone to come over? Would the police be able to wait for me before arresting me? What if I really need to be home to do something important on the day I am getting arrested?!"

15:43 - "The Dominos pizza tracker used to say who was making your pizza. And for a period of about three years, back when this service first debuted, every time we got dominos [...], it was made by Daniel-" "Pizza Daniel" "Thank you, yes, Pizza Daniel. And we got pretty obsessed with the idea that this guy Daniel was working there all the time, and making all the pizzas, pretty much. And then, recently, like fairly recently, I got a Dominos pizza order [...] and who was it delivering the pizza but a man named Daniel. [...] He had a nametag on." - Justin

17:35 - I'm a junior in college and recently, while in a math class, I was talking with some fellow students about some political news. This is when things get real wild. The girl sitting a few desks over turned to us and said "No spoilers, I haven't watched the news yet." After recovering from uncontrollable laughter, I tried explaining to her that there aren't spoilers in real world events, but she said would just put in headphones until class started so we could continue talking and she could still be surprised by the news later that day. Am I good? Is she good? Have I been having the wrong attitude towards news all my life, or should I try to explain to this person that discussing actual political events doesn't qualify as a spoiler? Please help. -- Politically Perplexed in the Pacific North West

39:07 - Recently, I've been smoking pot with my dad. We shared some kickass times together, but I became too greedy. I would sneak out to enjoy a joint every couple of days, he started to notice. Now he smokes alone. How do I make it up to my dad? -- Dylan (note: the end of the question was not read verbatim)

43:37 - Y - Sent in by Seth Carlson, from Yahoo Answers user Robbieraeful, who asks: "On imdb, why was Kevin James' height changed from 5'8' to 5'9 1/2'?"

46:23 - I'm in high school, and a lot of the kids at my school don't lock their lockers when they leave to go to class. There hasn't been an issue before, but recently someone has been going through people's lockers and stealing an item or two. This happened to me, and I decided to go to the school office to check the lost and found. I asked if they had seen an iPod, to which, as if on cue, my school principal came around the corner very dramatically and handed it to me, and said "Next time, lock your locker." From the clues I can gather, I think the principal was trying to teach the kids a lesson? How do I tell him that he's making an issue that isn't there? Is it okay for him to do so? -- Nora from Victoria
