| 05:37.02 | Twingy | NEW YORK (AP) -- At bustling post offices and their own keyboards, Americans by the millions played their annual game of Beat the Clock on Friday, racing to file tax returns by midnight. |
| 05:37.02 | Twingy | Postal workers supplied coffee and doughnuts -- Tax Day fixtures -- and were joined in some places by local radio DJs who cheered on the procrastinators. |
| 05:49.39 | Twingy | heh |
| 05:49.42 | Twingy | how old are you? |
| 05:59.11 | narnia | i am 53yo. |
