TV Theme Songs and Voiceovers--Which TV Show Is It?
1. Been haunted by a whisper. A chill comes over me. I've been trapped inside this moment. I'm not a victim, I'm not a freak. Free me before I slip away. Can somebody help me. Somebody help me.
2. Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed. A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed, Then one day he was shootin' at some food, And up through the ground came a bubblin' crude. Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.
3. Steve Austin. Astronaut. A man barely alive. We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better. Stronger. Faster.
4. You woke up this morning. Got yourself a gun. Mama always said you'd be the Chosen One. She said: You're one in a million you've got to burn to shine, But you were born under a bad sign, with a blue moon in your eyes. You woke up this morning all the love has gone, Your Papa never told you about right and wrong.
5. Sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit, these men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune.
6. Well, I’m not the kind to kiss and tell, but I’ve been seen with Farrah. I’m never seen with anything less than a nine, so fine. I’ve been on fire with Sally Field, gone fast with a girl named Bo, But somehow they just don’t end up as mine. It’s a death defying’ life I lead,I take my chances. I die for a livin’ in the movies and TV. But the hardest thing I ever do is watch my leading ladies kiss some other guy while I’m bandaging my knee.
7. Drive, push it to the floor till the engines scream. Drive, driving like the demon that drives your dreams. You're on a hard road, nobody cares if you hit the brakes. You've got to think fast, keep it in gear, one slip is all it takes. You gotta keep your wheels on the straight and narrow if you wanta' survive.
8. Heroes, heroes, husky men of war. Sons of all the heroes, of the war before. We’re all heroes up to our ear o’s. You ask questions - we make suggestions. That’s what we’re heroes for. All good heroes love a good, big fight. Open up the bomb bays and brighten up the night. We applaud the people who laud us, you pull the roses, we punch the noses, That’s what we’re heroes for.
9. It's a jungle out there, disorder and confusion everywhere. No one seems to care. Well I do. Hey, who's in charge here? It's a jungle out there. Poison in the very air we breathe.
10. He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home.

Egg on a Roof
A rooster lays an egg on the roof of a barn. Each side of the roof has a 90 degree angle and windspeed is approximately 15 mph blowing in an eastern direction. The egg is layed at the front part of the roof, which has been caved in due to weather. Because of that part of the roof being caved in, it has a slight 45 degree angle to it, which is more than the rest of the roof. So, which side of the roof will the egg roll off of, the one with the eastern exposure, or the one with the western exposure?

Ok, here's another...
A butcher has a 36 inch waist around, and he's 5 feet tall. What does he weigh?
