If you could join any past or present music group, which would it be?

If you had to describe yourself as an animal, which animal would you pick?

If everyone in the world had to get married when they reached a certain age, what would that age be?

Marriage should always be a conscious and free-willed choice of the two individuals. So I think putting a number to it is futile as long as the couple are willing and have freely decided to tie the knot.
