17..Did you notice that Rocket (good name for this question) is trying to pass off a telephone company as the Mars vehicle? We can't have that. Or perhaps he's thinking of the need to race across the surface,

21..Ah, that Meyers...there may be no cure for him. He does not seem to get that other posters are here to learn what they don't know, and he's being cute with his specialized knowledge. The very successful songstress Pink( e.g. Get the Party Started)is not the artist in question
She never sang of walls and bricks, nor logs or cinder blocks for that matter.
So, I would caution you Pink(or P!nk, if you prefer) fans against going to your local record store to pick up her "Another Brick in the Wall" recording. You will just be embarrassed.
Secondly, the song in question has multiple parts. Does Meyers indicate which part we are covering? Noooo.
A poster may wonder why some song he just heard that's called "Another Brick in the Wall" does not have the offered line in the question.
I await a clarification. And please don't put Meyers on "ignore"; he deserves another chance.

15..The missing one is officially the I____________ Pole.

 

[Rocket009]

17. Perhaps an eagerness to get the answer out there caused me to rush At least accept it in the Spirit in which it was provided.

True there is no cure.
I did spell "Pink" instead of "P!nk". So you should know. (she did sing about glass though)
You didn't say you wanted which Brick it was. I believe it was Part I. Part I - Daddy, Part II - Education/Teachers, and Part III was Wife.

Some here will never figure it out though, they are just "thick as a brick". JT

23..The honchos here are in deep discussion as to how to criminalize it. See Rocket.

You are merely 1 & 1/3 astray. Good for a solid "A". Keep your goals as high this year, me buckos.
