Can I place a phone call aboard the ISS to order pizza? Is it still free if it's not there in 30 minutes? Would my pizza be cold by the time they delivered? Could I warm it up by opening the box in space and pointing my pizza at the sun? What happens if I ordered extra cheese but when I open the box it looks like it's only a normal amount of cheese? Do I tip the delivery guy less? How much do you tip a delivery guy astronaut? Does Papa Johns have a delivery guy space program? What sort of training is required for a pizza delivery guy space program? Can anyone register? What if you're afraid of space but you're a Papa Johns delivery guy and Papa Johns just recently started their space delivery program but you're afraid to deliver pizza in space? Would you get fired? Are there laws in place to protect Papa Johns delivery guys who are afraid of space from getting drafted into a Papa Johns space delivery program? Are there places in law where you have to protect space delivery guys from aliens? Are there places at my in-laws for me to stay while I order pizza from Papa Johns? Is Papa John an alien? No phone signal in orbit around Earth. No masts. I am pretty sure people on the ISS can call people on Earth, at least sometimes, and they also have Internet access, at least sometimes. However, most Pizza places have limits as to where they deliver Pizza to. I'd assume LEO is usually not in those limits. As to space Pizza delivery, it would be incredibly expensive to use a person to deliver space Pizza. A much more sensible solution is to just send the box up, possibly with a money input slot, so the box only opens when people put in enough money for the Pizza. Since you are in the US and working a minimum wage job, i doubt that there are any laws in place to protect you from anything. If they tell you to go to space and you don't want to, you get fired and they find another guy. Space is international territory, thus i don't think there are a lot of laws to protect you against abduction by aliens if you are in space. There are some laws in space though, for example if you are a nuclear weapon you are not allowed to go to space.
The wording of this made me giggle.

Depends on whether any of those deliveries are on the ISS or not.

Well, it's kinda a Rorschach Test as to which, but the answer has to be either Bill or Hillary Clinton.

According to a quick google, Kevin Federline gets 20k a month from the divorce settlement, granted it is a six year old, rather gross article from Spike.

I don't think Jackie Kennedy really belongs in that row. The rest are all quite unpleasant characters and their "marriages" are characterized by the fact that they divorced soon after (perhaps multiple times) and took swimming pools of cash away with them from their brief time together.
Insofar as I understood it, Jackie Kennedy didn't even marry Aristotle Onassis for his money (although I am sure it didn't hurt).

Anna Nicole, I wouldn't put Jackie Kennedy on that list and the other two at least had kids with their short-term husbands.

What is the most efficient way to commit fruit-fly genocide? New recycling regulation requires I put food waste in a separate bin and the flies are most grateful.

In order to put Jackie on that list, you have to either be dumb as rocks or intentionally ignorant of her life story. In either case, bravo on the very stupid question 
By all means, drop the hammer on a woman who had her husband, the President of the United States, get his head basically popped off right next to her. That's cool.

What is the most faithful adaptation of book to film? I found interview with a vampire on Netflix, and it got me thinking.

The obvious answer is Baz Luhrmann's Romeo And Juliette

As far as Shakespeare goes, I'd personally say the most entertaining. I saw Hamlet with Ethan Hawk, and Bill Murray as Polonius and it was nowhere near as good. :p. I didn't see the Joss Whedon one that came out this last year though. Small caveat though, no plays, just books.
I had the thought that The Godfather was the one, but Mario Puzo die hard fans may disagree with the adaptation.

Funny story, I did my 8th grade capstone book report on The Godfather and did an impersonation Q&A of Brando's Don lol. There's a part early on where it describes Sonny banging some random chick at his sister's wedding that is really quite good. Definitely one of the more faithful interpretations

I did one one a biography of Groucho Marx in middle school. Obviously, it was well received.

This might be the legit winner:
I saw a version of the gospel of Matthew (by a relatively sympathetic leftist atheist) once that was just that. No material from other gospels, no interpretive leaps. Every line of dialogue is from the book. When the books says Herod dies, the movie cuts to a well-adorned room, and a woman wails. After a few seconds, next scene. The actors are all random people he found on the street. The final product was picketed by some conservatives.
It was a cool experience. The point it made was to tell the story exactly as it is on the page... and therefore show how leftist and anti-authority the story of Jesus really is. Totally raw and had a real emotional punch. Obviously do not watch unless you like black-and-white art films.
Ebert's glowing review:

She went from being married to the most powerful man in the world to being married to the richest man in the world (who was 35 years older than her) soon after her first husbands death...I think that constitutes golddiggerish tendicies.

I'll go with the 9hr version of Greed that they refused to release and that no longer exists (or at least has never been found).It literally had every single thing from the book.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greed_(film)
Von Stroheim shot more than 85 hours of footage and obsessed over accuracy during the filming. Two months were spent shooting in Death Valley for the film's final sequence and many of the cast and crew became ill. Greed was one of the few films of its time to be shot entirely on location. Von Stroheim used sophisticated filming techniques such as deep-focus cinematography and montage editing. He considered Greed to be a Greek tragedy, in which environment and heredity controlled the characters' fates and reduced them to primitive bête humaines (human beasts).
