I love to be sneaky like this and award prizes to the first correct responder.  It makes me feel important and powerful, kind of  like Dubya must have felt before reporters started throwing shoes at his head.  You know, no matter how awful the Prez may be, you have to respect his bobbing and ducking abilities!  (I think he’s had loads of practice)   = )
