Not his home address or anything stalkerish like that. Just a general address to send him a fan letter. Thanks!

My husband says you don't need any grease. I say you probably should. Who is right?

I have a 2008 Honda Fit Sport with a 5-speed auto. I got my oil changed last Friday, and since then, there is a ticking sound when I turn on the engine. It only occurs when the engine is cold, and it goes away when the engine is warmed up. The oil I use is 5W20. My car has about 100,000. The spark plugs were changed the day before the oil was changed. Any ideas?

I have assets that I want to pass on to my son in the most tax efficient manner possible. These assets are primarily investments and real estate. I'd like to put these assets in a trust and have my son be the trustee and manage the assets, and then get these assets when I die. What kind of trust is this? Any info on trusts would be appreciated. Ya, I know I'll need to get a lawyer, but at least I won't look like a fool when I do.

I live in the great state of Texas. I have a small ranch. A company has offered me $10,000 an acre for the mineral rights. I don't think I'm going to take the offer, but I'm curious. What is a company's usual return on mineral rights? For example, if they offered me $10,000 an acre today and they got $1,000,000 in profit from oil and natural gas from an acre of property over 10 years, that would be an annualized return of 58.48% and the period for the entire period would be 9,894.12%. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.

It had a big sign in front that said "Brookhaven", so I thought it was Brookhaven College, but apparently it's not. It's almost gone. What was it?

It is of an eagle and a lion. I thought I took it near Madison Square Park, but now I'm not so sure. I apologize for it being a little of of focus and the raindrops. We were driving by it on a tour bus. Thanks in advance.

It is next to the Burying Point. I would love to know the story behind it.

Is this the Woolworth Building or another building?

The one that looks kind of like a wedding cake? This was taken during a harbor cruise in New York City.

I went to Saint John, New Brunswick as part of a cruise. Now I am going through my photos, and I don't know where I took these two photos from. The photos are of an Indian statue and a Beaver statue. I remember I took them on a park that had really great views of the city below. I could see the cruise ship from up there. If you could tell me what park these statues are located in, I'd appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

I took this picture by the Salem Maritime National Historic Site, but I think it is outside of the site. Thank you in advance.

I believe I took this shot around Central Park. What is the name of this building? Thank you.

I took this photo in New York City, in the Conservatory Garden of Central Park. It is so pretty, but I don't know what it is. Thank you.

The guys at Jiffy Lube said it was time to change mine. I'd prefer to do it myself if it is easy, like changing the air filter. Thanks.

I want to get an iPod. I have a PC laptop. Do you have to have an Apple to get an iPod? What is an iPod with big buttons and is easy to read? It doesn't have to be the latest and greatest model. In fact, I would prefer getting one that is used. Thank you in advance.

Long story short: My cassette player ate my cassette. I managed to have the cassette extracted, but the cassette player no longer works. Fortunately, I have a CD player and Sirius. I don't really want to get the cassette player fixed, but the problem is that the words "Tape In" constantly appears on the head unit, even when the radio is turned off. Can I remove the radio and just kill the bulb that lights up the words "Tape In". I have a 1998 Buick LeSabre. Below is a picture of a head unit exactly like mine with the same problem.

Of course, I know they're dangerous, and I would never willingly grab one, but let's say you grabbed an electric line from an ordinary electric pole. I'm not talking about a downed power line. Would I be fried, shocked, or just fine?

I have an older car (1998 Buick LeSabre). The cassette player doesn't work anymore. I've heard that FM transmitters for iPods never work well. Is there a way to wire an iPod dock directly into the stereo system?

I have a combination cassette/CD player. The cassette player died about a year ago. The CD player works great. It would cost between $50 to $100 to fix? Is it worth it? I never listen to cassettes, but I'm worried about resale value.
