    Pretty funny in a unix admin kind of way...I didn't completely get #8 or the last one....I guess one rod is 16.5 feet but I don't know the Rod Serling reference?

    I also don't understand the 2.4 statue miles bit on the last one.

    Yale is an Ivy League school. Intravenous sergical tubing is an I.V. A league is 2.4 statute miles.
    Rod Sterling inroduced the twilight zone episodes and wrote many of them.
