Question 417: Up up and away
THis describes the mechanism of what has been deemed as a miracle for mankind.
ID the blank
The mechanism of action of___X___ involves the protection of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) from degradation by cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) in the corpus cavernosum. Nitric oxide (NO) in the corpus cavernosum of the _____ binds to guanylate cyclase receptors, which results in increased levels of cGMP, leading to smooth muscle relaxation (vasodilation) of the intimal cushions of the helicine arteries. This smooth muscle relaxation leads to vasodilation and increased inflow of blood into the spongy tissue, causing ________ . Robert F. Furchgott won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1998 for his discovery and analysis of endothelium-derived relaxing factor or "EDRF", later identified with NO itself or a closely-related compound.

Question 412: Time to nail it
This visual has often been used in Archies comics to denote any action or idea that seems to be quite aberrant to conventions. This phrase has its origins in a type of baseball pitch, wherein the ball acts in a direction opposite to the pitcher, ie, it swings from left to right for a right handed pitcher and so on.
This visual has been used in MAD magazine, Sad Sack, and several comics of the Comedy Genre.
