1. Kurt Vonnegut. Famously wrote a novel called 'Slaughterhouse Five', whose most well-known and quoted line is 'and so it goes'. I met him once when I was working in a bookshop in York (England). It was in the early 1980s. He was on vacation and a newly published novel of his was in our window - for the life of me, I can't remember which, though I seem to recall it had recipes in it(?). He was charming.

2. Tie-dye clothes. I think I wore tie-dyed tee-shirts when I was at university 50 years ago. Before that, I think we did some tie-dying in art class at school. It involved twisting string round a piece of cloth, and doing something with wax (God knows what) before dipping it in dye. Did we then iron it to remove the wax? No idea - I have no practical skills whatsoever.

3. I've heard of Godzilla but know nothing at all about it/him/her.
