What would you do with a copy of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged? One questioneer needs any answer other than 'read it'. AMT418's questioneers also wonder how they film club scenes in Jersey Shore, what the Hitler Moustache was called pre-Hitler, what’s in prop cigarettes, what to do about your neighbour’s golf noise, and where all the decanters and pub toilet condom machines went.
