Answer: Reginald Lisowski

"The Crusher" lived from 1926 to 2005. He was the equivalent self-promoter in wrestling that Muhammad Ali was in boxing. He played football in school and then took up wrestling. Reg maintained a formidable build by exercising, and claimed to practice running with a keg full of beer on each shoulder, empty by the time he was done. He coined the term 'megaton biceps'. Reg was known for his 'bolo' punch and devastating full Nelson. He won the AWA world championship three times, spent 40 years on the road and was inducted into the WCW Hall of Fame in 1994.

Question by tiye.

Answer: Denver Broncos

Used primarily in the late 1970s and the early 1980s, the nickname was popularised by sportswriter Woody Paige at the start of the 1977 season. Orange was for the team's shirts, and Orange Crush was a popular soft drink. The defense was played to great effect by several key players, including Tom Jackson and Randy Gradisher. Ten other team members contributed to the 'Crush'. Joe Collier was the defensive coordinator, along with defensive line coach Stan Jones and head coach Red Miller.

Answer: No

There has been speculation, of course, but the immensely strong steel of the crusher packs vehicles together once they're stripped of any value, and everything becomes in the end phase a brick of mostly metal combined with whatever else was in the car. Car crushers are compactors: there is the 'pancake' type that flattens the car with an enormous descending hydraulic plate, and there is the baling press type which compacts from all directions until the end result is a 'metal' cube.

The crusher has become a popular icon in films and TV - such as "Goldfinger", "Pulp Fiction" and "Breaking Bad" among many others.

Question by tiye.

Answer: He was in prison for tax evasion

Among other things, Wesley Snipes had declared himself a non-resident of the U.S. and said that he was exempt from taxes despite the fact that he was born in Florida. In fact, the rules state that even non-resident aliens that earn income have to pay taxes. He owed property taxes in three states, as well as federal income tax. As a last ditch move he tried to buy swampland from a religious cult and said that during the negotiations to buy the Florida property he was a 'member' of the cult which made the land property of 'the church' and therefore exempt. It didn't fly.
