Do you know any good peanut butter cookie recipes?

When I was seven, I played piccolo in the Latvian Defense Ministry’s Outreach Program, but you need to understand that there are no ‘bad’ peanut butter cookie recipes. Please consider a psychologist.

If Nancy Pelosi fought Mitch McConnell, who would win?

Strange that you should ask! When I was nine, while I was on sabbatical (from Princeton, where I was struggling to earn my PhD in molecular mechanics) I was coordinating relief efforts in sub-Saharan countries. My co-coordinator, Marie Curie (who briefly returned from the dead for this worthy cause) told me that she had a dream in which I was asked precisely your question!
