• Heh - Adsense gave me an ad for "Joe Satriani Tickets"!

  ...Flawless?

• Adsense gave me "Geeky Ways to Propose" ... ummm ... I don't want to know how the Scorpions work into that. No, really, I don't.

• False. Only one of those is Scorpion. Left to right, there's Sub-Zero, Reptile, Scorpion, and Smoke.

  Nope, I haven't gotten laid in a long time. Why do you ask?

• Seth Christenfeld: "The Scorpions" are like "The Archies" or "Bon Jovi": they're bands named after their leader.

  And dang, I'd never heard of Smoke until now. I really should try one of the newer Mortal Kombat games. We've got the latest one on the Xbox in Shopify's game room.

• Smoke, IIRC, first appeared in MK3, which was the last one that I played.

• Seth Christenfeld: Actually, he first appeared in MK2 (in the forest), but wasn't available until playable character until MK3.

  (The Mortal Kombat games were amongst the handful of games I used to own for SNES back when I was younger, so playing these games for hours upon hours allows me to remember these factoids with excruciating detail.)
