punks Something With Numbers

Who are you? Jake Grigg, frontman with Something With Numbers.

Are you a numbers man? I used to be a letters man, but after I had a run in with the alphabet, I converted to numbers. I thought the change was going to be tough, but bingo! It was as easy as 1-2-3.

Are you any good? Best ever.

What would you do if people didn't think you were any good? I'd stretch my arms and my legs and make myself extremely tall, then I'd join the circus and travel the country as the tallest man in the world. Then those so-called "people" won't have a choice, because everyone loves a really tall man.

Who else would you most want to be? Snoop Dogg. I don't know why.

Who were you in a previous life? I don't know for sure, but I have the internet now, so I'll run a search and get back to you on that one.

What is the meaning of mathematics? It's the science dealing with quantities, forms and space and their relationships by the use of numbers and symbols.

How do you feel about odd socks? I feel sorry for them. They have no friends and are always picked last for sport.

Which film should never have been made? Any film starring Tom Cruise. I don't like him and he acts like a porpoise.

What is the square root of 1369? Pass.

Penguins - why? I hate penguins. All they do is swim around, eat fish and laugh at me. Bloody stupid penguins.

What was the most ridiculous article you read recently? Everything in NW is ridiculous. But that's why I like it.

What did Bligh do wrong on the Bounty? What did who do with what?

You had $8 on the Newcastle Knights to beat the Roosters at Gosford on Sunday at $1.45. How much would you have won? $11.60, but I don't follow soccer.

When is too young to write your biography? When you're still in your mother's bowel.

Have you any advice for someone signing on the dole? Call 132 850 and follow the prompts.

Worst chore as a child? I hated putting the bins out as a kid. My dad told me that if I don't put out the garbage that he will put it in my bed. I came home one day from school and my bed was filled with trash. Now I always put out the garbage.

When faced with a decision, you are most likely to ... Decide.

Is 13 really unlucky? I haven't spoken to 13 in ages but I think he's pretty sweet.

Why did the cow jump over the moon? He was horny.

What crimes did Little Jack Horner commit to be sent into a corner? The little chub did nothing wrong; he was just hungry.

Beer or wine? Both, because they make you want to jump over the moon.

How is 42 the meaning of life? That's hurting my head.

The fact of the matter is ... You should never trust a woman that rides a horse.

Why do fools fall in love? Too much beer and wine.

Does she keep secrets from you?

Not that I know of.

Will she be right? Yes, the cat's mother will be fine.
