The Colbert Questionert

Fans of Stephen Colbert may be aware of the Colbert Questionert: “15 questions to cover the full spectrum of human experience”

After listening to Jon Stewart answer some of them last night, I decided to answer the questions for myself. Feel free to do the same. All but two answers came to me almost immediately, so it shouldn’t take too much time if you’d like to play along.
