The first question shown is on the layout of the universe. My only purchase of an IBC document was the world-map correctly oriented; on the reverse the explanation of the 'inside-out universe' containing a singularity.

I wish everything I've bought gave me as much pleasure and opportunity for contemplation as that wall-poster.

It's since had a few shorter runs here and there, with the most recent version airing for a couple of seasons by former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning.

It's true - people grew up earlier and matured faster. People got married at 23 and had 2 kids before 27. By the age of 45, many people could expect to be Grandparents. Now I look around and I see 50 year old men dressed like skateboarders. On some things we have not progressed.
This is your brain tricking you. Believe me. If the picture was colourized and improved, they wouldn't look so old. Equally, we tend to associate their clothing and hairdos with oldness. They don't look any older than me and my fellow university students.

Guy studying Psychology and Sociology probably went on to be psychologist or a sociologist whereas most psychology and sociology graduates these days go on to bartenders and shop assistants.
The truth is actually far stranger. He went on to become the Wizard of New Zealand (QSM), the worlds only government appointed wizard and Living Work of Art. He's well worth looking into. Feel free to peruse this channel for more information.
They should still do it like this. Stirring music, cymbal crashes, clipped tones, chaps with beatnik beards, ladies backcombed, all in black and white, no questions about horrid pop music or the like. And Bamber looks damn sexy.

Wrong. Singular/plural can be used in this instance, similar to "England have won the cup" or "England are fielding two South Africans in this test". It's a collective anomaly when referring to teams.
