I think 'Do you dream about the WGB or WGB members?' should definitely be in there. Nope

And maybe:

'Have you ever endured physical pain to post on the WGB?' Nope

'Do you associate everyday objects and sights with WGB member avatars more than with the normal meanings ascribed to those images?' Nope

So there's 30, 31 and 32.

Τα παιδεία παίζει.
