What's your favourite non W1k network site?

Umm... Plime?


If water going down the toilet drain goes counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, in which direction would a toilet go on the equator?

The toilet would probably go nowhere as it's attached to the wall. It might however move if it's on the back of a truck...

What 'ticks' or 'OCDs' do you have? Name at least two.

That's part of the w1k network:P

Rubbing me ear lobe. Eating cats in tabasco sauce (naw kidding)

Do you have pets?

no i don't have any pets
my family dog was put to sleep when i was 13.
so i said to myself

self you wil never have another pet!

what's your favorite color and why?

Green. There are so many different shades of it, and it's the colour of life and springtime and olivine. If I were a colour, I'd be green.



Salty or sweet?

Salty. I LOVE a bag of chips (crisps). I can eat a whole (big) bag of them without stopping. Preferably something with smoked beef or bacon hmm. And especially when I'm studying or concentrating hard on work.

What do you wonder about in life the most?

Most?

Hands down, WHY?

Why does the world exist, why is the weather so bad, why do birds sing, why do fools fall in love?


Next question was designed to find out the thought processes of a job candidate in an interview:

Why are manhole covers round?

Mine too, but I don't know that I have as clear a reason. I just always liked green.

That's simple.
Anyone who has ever seen the people who remove manhole covers knows that they could never get them back on if they were any other shape. Oh and it's so they can't fall through the hole.

Why do people ask questions they know the answers to?

Three reasons:
1. To verify (maybe my answer is wrong or incomplete)
2. To see if the other guy knows (or will admit knowing)
3. To see how the other guy reasons the problem out.

(BTW: My favorite answer to the man-hole cover question was "Because manholes are round". Never overlook the obvious.)

Next question:

How do the get the candy coating on the outside of the M&M?

They put the chocolate pieces in large, round rotating tanks (sort of like a small cement mixer), add the candy coating in liquid form, and it adheres to the chocolate pieces as it rotates. It's the standard process for any type of candy that has any coating.

Next:

What's your fetish?

Girl Scouts.

Next Question:

Why can't I score a girl scout...?(just kidding, I have a whole troup in my basement)

Why do we put up with our government bullsh!t when we know it's bullsh!t? Why don't we speak up?

It's the moo herd attitude. moo. Each person moo thinks "what difference will my moo voice make? I am moo only one person, and there are so many others moo in my country." No-one moo takes initiative, so moo no-one follows. moo. It's the same moo attitude that many people use as an excuse moo to not vote. Voting would moo be another way to show you are fed up with the bulls**t. So is moo writing a letter, as most politicians moo believe one letter moo represents ten thousand voices.
Unless you're Canadian moo; there if you get fed up with your leader, it's considered culturally moo acceptable to throw a pie in the leader's face.



When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? Did you?

A Girl Scout. No wait... I wanted to be a teacher. And no, I ended up in IT business. I used to teach computer classes in High School though, so that was sort of close.


Who's your favourite Early Modern Philosopher (1600 - 1800) and why?

Tricky question. And I can't think of one. So I'm gonna bend the rules and say Herbert Spencer (who was 19th Century). As for why, he's a great genius. Not only did he coin the phrase "survival of the fittest" for Darwin's theory of natural selection (which Darwin including in On the Origin Of Species fifth edition), but he also invented the paperclip! What a genius.

Sorry if the answer isn't quite what you wanted.

So, to the next person: what is your opinion of the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy? (please try to be serious)

I think it sucked. And I am being serious.

I don't think it was Lee Harvey, but I don't have a theory as to who it really was (though I lean towards the Grassy Knoll theory).

What's the craziest party you've ever been to, and what made it so darn crazy?

I've been to dozens of utterly crazy parties, but thanks to my body's weird response to alcohol I remember absolutely nothing of them. I once woke up with some other bloke's jeans on, so I must have had great fun.

If you could change the numerical value of pi, would you, and if you would, what would you want it to be?

I think the legislated this in Alabama to be the "more pleasing to God" round number of 3.

I personally like the number as it is. We should always have something that is easy to understand, but completely unknowable.

Next: What is the worst movie you ever sat completely through. (What was so bad, and why didn't you leave?)

Black Hawk Down. I know some people who absolutely love this movie, but I couldn't stand it. It's not that I dislike the genre - I really enjoy historical and/or war movies, but this movie had: no real plot, essentially no soundtrack (same two songs played on repeat - the da-da-da 'war' song and the yodelling guy song). It was so insanely predictable (in the first two seconds you can figure out who doesn't make it back), and the comic relief bits were blatantly obvious and almost equally spaced. It also played up on American patriotism and played down, way down, on the real problems/situations that were occuring in Somalia at the time.

I didn't leave because I was on a date with a really hot guy who happened to be a fantastic kisser and we were going out to meet friends for drinks after.


What is the weirdest item you've eaten as food?

a California hotdog. :)

Seriously, though... odori-ebi (dancing shrimp). I know in some cultures that's not weird, but for a girl from the midwest who grew up on spaghettios and Kraft mac-n-cheese, that was pretty out there.

What creeps you out the most? (besides BB's girlscout fetish)
