The computer game Leisure Suit Larry always started up with a bunch of questions to prove that you're an adult. The problem is that all the questions are about Beatles era stuff, so people who are twenty to thirty now still can't answer them and get into the pixelated boobage! :O

Too bad they're not even younger. It'd be interested to see how many of them can work out on their own the match of melodies between the ABC song and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".
