A while ago I ran into my friend Nat, aka God, online and asked what she was up to. She was living my dream, answering questions for AQA, and I helped her out for a bit, answering questions while she researched others. One of the questions was: "When will the world end?" and I said something along the lines of: "Astronomers theorize that the world will end in approx. 5 billion years when the sun becomes a red giant and increases in size to engulf Earth's orbit." This answer has now entered the vast AQA database, so that when anyone else asks it, they get my answer. Thus, in a little way, have I contributed to the knowledge of God.
Who ever said owning a blog didn't reap rewards? AQA has, completely out of the blue, sent me a copy of their latest book (now sitting next the toilet in my flat):
Aren't they nice? In thanks for this lovely gift, I will now do a special edition of AQAttack, clearing out all the AQAs that have been sitting in my phone.

Yes I know that you twonk, I meant what are their distinguishing characteristics?
AQA apologises. Scotland is much more of an industrialized society; there are more poor people, but kiwis are perhaps less urbane and more rustic.
What is the longest continual noninterrupted gig by any one artist in any one performance, and how long was it?
A piece of organ music by the American composer John Cage (1912-1992), entitled Organ2/ASLSP began at midnight July 11 2003 and will last 639 years.
(I should note that this didn't really answer my question. It's a pretty straightforward question. What is the world's longest gig? A machine playing noises does not count).
This is a 
Yay I get a shout-out!
BTW, the researchers live for the interesting, quirky questions. Keep em coming.
You're the best Nat! Now read my damned book.
Well not entirely out of the blue, they liked your music video
"We like you music video...here, have a free book."
That's not exactly smack dab in the middle of the blue.
Well it's not like the book just showed up. That would be smack dab out of the blue.
It's more like out of the pale blue.
