Game: Ask the Person Below You

[Pendragon]

Most are based on logic. But unlike Vulcan's I have emotions!

You are in a McDonalds. A customer comes in and orders special numer 5 which with taxes comes to $7.35. They hand you a $50 dollar bill. By logic alone, how much change do you owe them?

[RobinHood3000]

$42.65 - i.e., too much.

What makes a Klingon such a good security guard?

[kiz_paws]

LOLOL! :lol: Mayhaps it is the perfect pose that they use for pretending that they are lamps?

Why is YouTube so addicting anyhow?

[ajsa]

because we think that,whatever we wonder and wanna see we can easily
reach them there,in youtube:)

by the way kiz paws,i watched "hallelujah" in youtube and i like it,also i found it very impressive and emotional..

"should i say him my feelings one week before i leave the country or these days yet i have 2,5 years to go or never?"(take my question seriously coz i will do wahetever you say,i cannot think logically right now,damn!!)

[RoCKiTcZa]

Yes

(same question, I am simply passing my time here, but I did take it seriously)

[NikolaiI]

Yes, but you are in a terrible position. Love is great and you should cultivate it if he loves you too! But long distance relationships are SO difficult. It must be a really true love to work, and takes a LOT of devotion of both parties...it is so sad that it is so difficult. I would advise...avoid long-distance as much as possible. But if you can make it work then try it, just be prepared for it to be very difficult. But always be positive and enjoy whatever love you can find!

Same question, let's get as much varied advise as possible!! eek!

[Chava]

Go ahead and let em loose. If it doesn't work out, you'll know and not worry about it anymore. (if be a little heartbroken..) Better to have tried and failed than never to try at all.

I pass the question on

[Shurtugal]

you are cruel to pass that questionto a 14 year old girl who has just lost something dear.... oh well. Frankly, i don't know. as i said i'm only 14 (evil age) but what ever you do, i wish you the best. for i rather not be blamed for what ever happens. good luck though!

why does realizing you just lost the most important thing to you hurt so much?!

[Shalot]

Because you haven't accrued enough hurt in your life yet.

Do you ever log on to Lit Net and see who is on and then click on their names to see what they're doing right now?

[Bakiryu]

yes :blush:

do you ever think you look like Sha's avatar?

(I like saying Shalot, it's like sssShaaaw-loth :lol:)

[kiz_paws]

by the way kiz paws,i watched "hallelujah" in youtube and i like it,also i found it very impressive and emotional..
Yay! I knew you'd like it! ;)

Do I think that I look like Sha's avie? Oh yes and then some.... mornings are not nice to me, ha ha!

If you could see any musical performance ever done, which one would it be? (this can be anything -- from an original Wagner opera to the Beatles playing in the Cave in Liverpool -- anything...)

[AimusSage]

Wagner triggered it. I want to see Der ring des Nibelungen, all four parts. (not in one continuous performance though! :eek2:

If you're a bottle of wine, what does the cork represent?

[kiz_paws]

The cork represents the stopper in the flow of life. And yet, it floats, so that means that it COULD go with the flow.... how profound... **scratches head, Einstein-style**

If you could go on an ocean liner cruise, what destination would you like to go to?

[AimusSage]

The abyss, submersible ocean liner or not, that's where I want to go.

If you were a satchel, what would you hold?

[kiz_paws]

The satchel that I call home holds the secrets as to why the twig has beady eyes... ;)

And what about you, next poster? What would your satchel contain?

[Bakiryu]

it'd be heavy with art supplies, mixed tapes and for some reason a note that says........................."So long...................and thanks.............for all.....................teh FISH!" :p

are ye thankful for teh fish, next poster?

[The Bookinator]

Most certainly. Why, without it, what would swim in the sea? Beyond those whales and shrimp I mean... They'd be lonely. :(

(Monty Python ripoff) So... I've got 3 whole questions for the next poster. First, WHAT is your name? WHAT is your favorite color? And WHAT is the number of licks it takes to get to the center of a Totsie pop?

[ajsa]

AJSA,PURPLE hmmm i am sorry for the last question:(............


for the next one;what do u study or did and if u have a change which department else u would like to choose? thanks....

[mercy_mankind]

I'm a student in The Faculty Of Arts, English Department. :)

What would you do if you see a child crying in the street?!

[Remarkable]

I'd look around for a cop.If I wouldn't find one,I'm sorry,but I'd continue to walk on my own buisness.

What about you?

[zanna]

I would ask if the child had anyone they could be with (Mom, Dad, etc.), and I would try to be comforting, maybe give them a tissue if I had one, but I would try not to be scary, too, because that would just make it worse!

What should we do about global warming/climate change, etc, etc?

[The Bookinator]

Play Vanilla Ice more often. It's like inspirational music for the earth!

"Ice ice baby..." :cold: :) :cold:

[The Bookinator]

Oops, forgot my question!

Why is popping bubblewrap so addictive? I've always wanted to tap dance on the kind with the giant bubbles that make those huge, impressive pops.

[zanna]

Because everyone has a little bit of that terror child in them, and we feel so happy and devious when we get to make lots of noise.:brow:
:smash: :banana: :banana: :lol: Can you tell I'm a drummer? :D

Ok, question: Is it ethical to resort to cannibalism, especially in dire circumstances, and when the person has given you permission to eat them?

[Bakiryu]

sure, yes. If the person is dead. Besides, there's such an over-population of people one would not be missed, you'll survive longer and everyone deep, deep insides (at least once) has wondered what human meat tastes like. :p

same q.

[Chava]

Haha, I'm going to go with Bakiryu here.

Favourite colour?

[muhsin]

Pink.

Yours?

[kiz_paws]

This constantly changes :p
But I'll go with 'Barbie Pink' for today.

Do you like kernal corn or creamed corn?

[Pendragon]

Kernal.

Favorite way of fixing patatos?

[Oniw17]

Fried

What's the last productive thing you've done?

[Shalot]

I folded towels and sheets and put them into the linen closet.

What is the last embarrassing thing you have done?

[Oniw17]

I can't remember actually.

Does that make me a conformist?

[kiz_paws]

No, don't believe that it does.

What colour is the sky if you are standing on Mars?

[intoxicatedsoul]

our science teacher told us that blue is a shorter wavelength and scatters more, and that's why the sky is blue. presumably, the same laws of physics apply on Mars, meaning the sky should be blue there too.
<*scratching head**>


is it safe to have a poinsettia plant and have a cat?

[Oniw17]

I don't think it's fatal, but there's only one way to find out.

Have you ever contemplated the best way to brainwash someon?

[dramasnot6]

Yes...*applies technique to oniw17 so she does not have to reveal her tricks*

Do you owe money to anyone?

[kiz_paws]

Ummm, if someone's name is MasterCard, then yes :sick:

p.s. Poinsettas and pets don't mix, if that was a real-live question.

Anyhow, do you ever butt into someone elses life, thinking that you are doing a good thing?

[Oniw17]

Not at all.

What is your biggest fear?

[bouquin]

My biggest fear is being overweight.

What is your maternal grandfather's middle name?

[motherhubbard]

Hoyt

What was the last thing you thought of before going to sleep last night?

[kiz_paws]

I was thinking about the happy hour that I spent with my brother out there in the dark at the Duck Pond, where we skated by ourselves.... oh my, that was heaven, I tell ya.

Good question, so I'll pass it along! :)

[dramasnot6]

I was worrying about how my boyfriend is doing in English class with such a nasty teacher...

That duck pond sounds so lovely kiz! That's enjoying life :)

Last song/movie that made you cry?

[motherhubbard]

this one

http://www.thebusinessofbeingborn.com/trailer.htm


are you planning a vacation this year?

[dramasnot6]

Haha, this is my vacation! It's all university and summer school from here on out...

Interesting video, btw.

What was/is the best part about being a teenager?

[mercy_mankind]

I'm still a teenager , :) but there is nothing to say.

What do you say about someone judge people for their outer appearance?

[Oniw17]

Nothing. They can judge people however they want.

What do you think about FDR?

[papayahed]

He's a pretty fascinating guy. The New Deal, Lend Lease, Eleanor, Lucy...


Would you rather win a Noble Prize or an Oscar?

[bouquin]

A Nobel Prize, hands down.

What have you got in your refrigerator right now?

[Oniw17]

It would take too long to list, I have many siblings and my cousins are staying here because their furnace broke.


Do you like the cold?

[Bakiryu]

not much. only mild cold.

do you like the burning summer heat?

[Oniw17]

Only if I'm near water.

Do you like swimming?

[Bakiryu]

I don't know how :(

beaches or lakes?

[Oniw17]

beaches

shores or oceans?

[Chava]

Shores!

Name a quirky tradition from your place of origin, an example: From where I lived in Indonesia, it was required, that if you drove down a cat with your car, you must get out and bury it in your shirt.

[Pensive]

A newly-bred woman shouldn't take part in any activities related to kitchen until about a month or so of her marriage. This is the work of her sisters-in-law or mother-in-law or anybody but her...though of course it's broken many times. Everybody doesn't have sisters-in-law/mothers-in-law and even if they have, not necessarily they are to be this good...

What does 'friendship' mean to you?

[mercy_mankind]

Name a quirky tradition from your place of origin, an example: From where I lived in Indonesia, it was required, that if you drove down a cat with your car, you must get out and bury it in your shirt.

Nice tradition , but I think that everyone has to take another shirt always reserve. :)

Friendship is a large word, friendship is not only feelings, but these sentiments are translated into action. Each individual must choose his friends well.

What "Freedom" mean to you?

[Oniw17]

Freedom like most things worth having is only an unreachable ideal. You can never be completely free, there are always the laws which govern matter and energy if nothing else. The best you can hope for is to become an asymptote to freedom, which would necessarily mean absolving emotional bonds and not being held captive by the subjectivities(similar to Plato's universals;how you feel when you read, etc; No, nobody else uses the word in that context, I think) that we feel for things we love(like reading). To me this isn't perferable. So with freedom, like with all great things(except subjectivities) we need moderation. That means that freedom in the practical sense means to be sovereign of what you do and to have discipline.

What does the word 'love' mean to you?

[MidniteHowl]

Love, let me see. It's a tricky question, a really tricky question indeed. I would associate love with all the feelings, that when all gathered together, there's no need for more to be added.
What it means for me? Well, that's a whole other story. Love means everything for me. It's like waking up each morning with the suns' rays galantly touching ur face, making you thrive and in the same time capable of doing anything. Love is the feeling of feelings, of which without we are nothing but a mere grain of sand in the wind.

What would do if you found out that the world you were living in isn't as you pictured it would be?

//sorry for any misspellings :blush:

[Remarkable]

I have given this a lot of thought often and frankly,I don't know.There are some ideas,solutions or answers that come to one only when one is faced with a situation that needs this action.

This morning sixteen people died in a boat that drowned in a lake nearby.Many said:how is it possible that in this half warm weather these people were not able to swim or find another way of saving themselves?But then,one should also take in consideration the fact that these people were very scared and shocked and they knew not what to do.

I am not suggesting that it would be the same situation,I am merely saying that one never knows.I personaly think that I cannot be shocked easily,but fortunately,that still remains to be proved.

Do you think that civil disobedience is justified?

[islandclimber]

yes, depending on the situation... it seems a good way to keep governments and systems of government changing, evolving, progressing... especially with governments that are now defunct (most, in this world)...

However I do think peaceful protest/disobedience is much better than violent, but depending on your viewpoint and beliefs I guess violent protest and rebellion can sometimes be justified...

anarchy serves its purpose as well... also some laws are ridiculous and disobedience is the often a way to point this out, to bring attention to this fact... look at the US patriot act...

Do you think life has a meaning, or are the nihilists right?

[Bakiryu]

Life is meaningless, that's what makes it so beautiful.

To be or not to be?

[dramasnot6]

THAT's the question?! :p :p
To be.

The worst class you have ever taken?

[Oniw17]

I don't like this question. I guess NA meetings. Those people are insane.

Why do people challenge evolution and relativity but not plate tectonics?

[papayahed]

plate tectonics isn't as sexy as evolution or relativity.


Should I go out for lunch or stay in and have my salami sandwich?

[bouquin]

It depends. Do you make a mean salami sandwich? I'm partial to home-made sandwiches myself. One tends to over-eat in restaurants, n'est-ce pas?

Q: Where did you go on your last vacation and what souvenir did you bring back?

[zanna]

Germany, and I brought back some rocks from Dachau, one of the concentration camps during WWII.

What is your favorite possession? Why do you like it so much?

[BulletproofDork]

My ipod. Because I have no life.

Same question.

[Oniw17]

USB drive, because I like to write.

Where are you right now.

[pbmn]

In my house, talking to you guys.

Would you rather attempt to teach kids who refuse to learn, or visa versa?

[greenlake]

teach kids who refuse to learn
would you rather be a cat or dog?

[Oniw17]

cat, only because they get much more freedom in human society. And the godly reflexes + balance.

Where is Waldo?

[greenlake]

i dont know

[LadyW]

He is everywhere!
Who would win in a fight: the tooth fairy, the easter bunny or santa claus?

[Tournesol]

the easter bunny

What do people's hands say about them?

[Chava]

It tells you what lives they lead, hands rough, nails bitten, wounds, oversized knuckles, tan or pale, etc.

Do you secretly judge people by their hands?

[Shalot]

No. I sometimes secretly judge people by other externals, but hands are not something I generally notice.

have you ever suffered from a mild chemical burn caused by leaving Nair on too long?

[Oniw17]

No.


Do you support eugenics studies, or would you rather see people continue to be born retarded, with SMA, et cetera and live their lives depressed because of the things hey can never do?

[Shalot]

the word "eugenics" is a little scary but in general, yes I support research into incurable diseases such as SMA. Retardation on the other hand, is sometimes the result of a freak accident or trauma so I think we will always have mentally handicapped persons with us. I think you should be able to purchase insurance for your mentally retarded dependent, but you can't.

Do you have a family member who is retarded or has Muscular Dystropy, SMA etc?

[Oniw17]

Yes.


Can you stand on your hands?

[lucidnightmares]

yes but for only 7.51 seconds

do you wish to be god, or the devil???

[NikolaiI]

nope. :)

have you ever read anything in the vedas?

[aeroport]

I don't think so.

Are you fluent in more than one language?

[Oniw17]

Not fluent, but I can speak bits of other languages.


Can you take every horse to the pond and let it drink?

[bouquin]

No.... but I am fluent in 4 languages. :)

If heaven exists what would you like God to say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?

[pbmn]

If heaven exists what would you like God to say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?

Mind if I twist your question to what I hope that he doesn't say?

"What are you doing here?";)


Do you think that there are other life forms in the universe?

[Gadget Girl]

Definitely.

Do you like video games?

[pbmn]

Of course, just look at my Avatar.:D

Despite the fact you are getting older, do you continue to watch kid shows/ cartoons?

[Gadget Girl]

Is that from Halo? Sorry If I'm mistaken, I'm not really familiar with the game. :p

I love cartoons. I enjoy watching them but not as much as I used to.

What kind of movies do you usually watch?

[pbmn]

Yeah, it is.

Ummm, I guess I prefer to watch '90s comedies (Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, etc.) and a few from this millenium (like Zoolander).

Same question...

[Gadget Girl]

I like comedy, drama, action (sometimes), romance... all kinds of movies really, but not horror. I hate having a heart attack. :lol:

Do you think that aliens are real? :alien:

[pbmn]

Not those cheap home videos, but yeah, I think that aliens are real.


If a tree falls in a forest, but no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?:p

[Gadget Girl]

Of course it will make a sound! Only no one will be able to hear it.

If you want to sleep, would you sleep even if you don't really want to sleep?

[Oniw17]

I probably wouldn't be able to.

What is he purpose of your life?

[Remarkable]

I am still trying to find it.Indeed,what is the purpose of us all?

Gadeget Girl,but how do you know the tree will make a sound?In the end,the sound is a perception of the human ear...

Are you in love?

[Gadget Girl]

Yes, I am so in love! :blush:

Well, when the tree falls down, there will be impact, right? So when the tree hits the ground and the air waves will travel into the whole forest, it will surely make a sound.

You're in love with your best friend, but your best friend is in love with someone else and only consider you as a sibling. What would you do, be hopeless because you know that what you wanted will never happen? Or be hopeful because you have this feeling that your best friend will change and see you in a complete different light?

[bouquin]

Be hopeless.

Who was your first kiss and when did it happen?

[Remarkable]

I have never been kissed.

The tree creates waves in the but how do we know that it is a sound?For example,a deaf person woulden't recognise the noise,so basically there seems to be no noise.It is kind of like the question:Why do we decide that someone is crazy or not?On what criter?What is normal?

Anyone up for those questions?

[pbmn]

A person is called crazy when they are posing a threat to the normal society, for when they are different (to an extreme). Normal is the "popular" idea of what we should do, what we should say, etc. Everyone is essentially crazy, but the fear of being casted aside as an outsider has created a trap that will be almost impossible to ever get out of. The few that show their "true colors" are locked away for being a threat to the peace. All in my opinion. (We had to read a book in History called Sophie's World, which is a crap book to begin with, but I remembered it talking somewhat on this topic.)

Do you believe in any god of any sort, or are you an atheist (or perhaps even an agnostic?) If you do believe in a god, what leads you to believe in it, and if you don't, then why?

[Chava]

I'm an atheist.

What makes things stick to the ground?

[Oniw17]

Electromagnetism, gravity(essentially the same thing), adhesives.

Who's the best antagonist god?

[kiz_paws]

Why Loki, of course!

[Ancestor]

Friendship

What frightens you the most about your fellow humans?


That we will end up destroying our planet.

Do you think that there is more negativity in the world then positivity?

[Chava]

I chose to believe that at heart, most people are positive. What we have an excess of is cynicism.

What colour should my gypsy painting be?

[AdoreroDio]

Can't it be more than one? If it has to be only ONE colour than I think it should be a darkish purple- a wine purple.

What is the weirdest dream you've ever had?

[Pensive]

A wedding ceremony with a cousin more than five years younger than me. Was really sick. :(

Have you ever felt like you don't hate anything/anyone?

[Chava]

Yeah, I feel like that as a general rule.

What end justifies the means?

[mercy_mankind]

there is no end justifies the means , as I see.
do you think that people want to live in peace?

[AdoreroDio]

I think people wnat to live in peace I just think they don't know how and aren't willing to live in peace.

Do you think world peace is possible?

[mercy_mankind]

I hope , but it is possible in one only case .
what is that case in your opinion?

[AdoreroDio]

in my opinion? I think it's the day Jesus returns and establishes a thousand year kingdom of Heaven on Earth- no fighting , no tears- peace.

Same question.

[Ancestor]

Only if we human being realize that being human is not so bad after all and we begin to take responsibility for our actions.

Same Question:
What productive thing have you done recently?

[bouquin]

I made French salad dressing (enough to last at least a month. My husband swears only by the home-made dressing I make, he does not like the ones available in the supermarkets).

Q: Where will you be traveling next and why have you chosen this destination?

[kiz_paws]

Well, no major trip, just heading further North to catch the Spring Thaw, to smell the pine trees and the lake as it cracks up for the warmer weather. And to catch a choral performance done by a travelling choral group from out West.

What is your idea of a perfect way to relax?

[Ryduce]

Ideally,a deserted beach on a distant shore.

In reality,a comfy bed and a book.

What is best in life?

[Chava]

Life itself? When all the elements of living from day to day, merge into a syntax, and leave you feeling acomplished, feeling wiser, and feeling happy.

I dont think I like any "new" tv, I am waiting for Futurama & Frasier to come on.

Gravity.

[Shalot]

Tommy Chong

Why do people believe advertising?

[Tournesol]

people believe advertising because it tells them what they want to hear.

Why can't I decide what question to ask?

[V.Jayalakshmi]

Dear Kareemah Ali,
Because you know there are no questions to ask???I saw recently one thriller movie.Tell me why we need thrills?

[kiz_paws]

To keep us from boredom?

Why do we perpetuate the saying "for Pete's sake"?

[dramasnot6]

Because everyone secretly wishes they were named Pete.

What would be most fun for you to get a Phd in?

[aeroport]

Something related to Criminal Justice, I think... :D

Same question.

[asilef73]

my mother has her PhD and i work with people with PhDs. i have no desire whatsoever to have one.

Only been on a vacation once, to Disneyworld.

[sprinks]

Actually I haven't yet! I'm sick at home and so I've just been lounging around the place pretty much

If you could make the sky another colour what would it be and why?

[Oniw17]

I like it blue, but if it had to be another color, I say the reddish color of sunset, because it would be easy to do without changing what it is that the light reflects off of.

If you had to eat a shoe, what brand name would you like it to be?

[pussnboots]

If I had to eat a shoe, I would say Easy Spirit. They have such comfortable shoes.

[sprinks]

Books.... books.... and more books. and also a videocamera.

Do you think simple lines drawn on canvas should be sold for tens of thousands of dollars because it's "art"?

[Chava]

Well, if the purchaser thinks it's worth it, then what is the problem?

what is art?

[Oniw17]

skill as a result of learning or practice, from ars in Latin I think.

Do you think the new Chester Cheetah is as cool as the old one?

[Remarkable]

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Why do we trust our senses or logic?

[BulletproofDork]

Because? :confused:


I don't think I get the question.


What's the difference between imigrant and emigrant?

[Oniw17]

the i one is migrating over political borders, the e one could be moving from NY to ATL

What's your favorite type of cereal?

[sprinks]

Cornflakes I think... it depends what I feel like eating at the time

If you had to chose between never eating your favourite food again or never listening to music again which would you choose and why?

[Oniw17]

Never eating my favorite food, because there is a large variety of other foods I can stand. There's no alternative to music though.

Would you rather listen to your least favorite type of music for a week or not listen to any other type for a month?

[bouquin]

I would rather not listen to any music for a month if the alternative is listening to one that I absolutely dislike.

Q: What is your favorite smell and your favorite sound?

____________________
Some people would say - you're only a drop, your word-breaking is only a drop, it wouldn't matter. But all the evil in the world's made up of little drops. It's silly talking about the unimportance of the little drops. The little drops and the ocean are the same thing.
~ from "The Collector" (by John Fowles)

[sprinks]

Right now my favourite smell is a Green Tea & Cucumber spray I have in my room.... It's such a nice smell (although I also love the smell of my mums cooking). My favourite sound would be either the sound of a waterfall or people laughing

Do you make your bed every morning? (I just did mine...)

[Oniw17]

My bed is a sleeping bag, but I fold it up when I wake up(which usually isn't morning)

Same question.

[aeroport]

No way! Especially this week, with the folks out of town.

Same question.

[sprinks]

Not always but if I don't sometimes the cat gets lost in there because he sleeps on my bed... But I try to remember to do it!

Have you ever owned a cactus, and if not do you want to?

[Oniw17]

My great grandmother had one when I was little. It had the little clear spines that you can't see to remove. Pissed me off. But I would keep a Lophophora williamsii plant, and no I never have.

same question.

[dramasnot6]

I have, it was a wee,furry little one that required little attention and was lovely to stroke.

What is your favorite thing to do in the great outdoors?

[Oniw17]

Swimming, probably only because I didn't learn until last year.

Love, most definitely, I already lose my dignity often but the people that love me don't mind. Also love is WAAAAYYYY more important to me than looking like I have dignity

What do you think is the weirdest word in the English language and why?

[Oniw17]

irregardless, because it's just dumb imo

same question.

[kiz_paws]

I always hated the word SPRY, maybe because of the way that my mom used to say it

"... get to bed, you won't be so spry in the morning ..." **grits teeth** :sick:

I liked the question, What Is Your Favorite Smell? , so that is my question.

[dramasnot6]

I remember what it used to be :(
I guess now...I love the smell of my dog's stomach when i give her a hug.
Same Q

In a graveyard, dead. And if not a graveyard, then somewhere else would my dead body be lying.

Do you think I never lie?

[dramasnot6]

Just 10 years from now,Pensive?? :O

Naw, you're a devilish blue bird :p

When you are having trouble sleeping, what thoughts put you at ease?

[sprinks]

Thinking about the future and how great it will be, and knowing how loved I am by certain people that matter to me.

If someone showed you scientific proof the world was going to end today would you believe them?

[Pensive]

I don't think so.

Would you like to tell us who that person is that you hate the most in your life? (if there is one)

Naw, you're a devilish blue bird

Thank you. All hail Satan! :p

[Shalot]

What would you think of a person that two days ago you asked out for coffe with an SMS and until now you have recieved no SMS at all,not yes,nor no?

[sprinks]

It would depend on what that person is like, for example do they have a habit of not replying for ages? Perhaps their battery is flat and they have not recieved the message?

Have you ever believed in fairies?

[Remarkable]

No,I was never educated with the fairy beliefs.

Well,suposse this person has the bad habit of replying in about a year or so(just kidding)but their battery can't be flat,because I recieved a delivery report.

What should I do now in relation with this situation?

[sprinks]

Perhaps you might try calling them, if you haven't already?

Does this person know that you are really eagerly awaiting their reply?

[Chava]

Probably not :)

Were they eagerly awaiting mine?

[Amundsen]

Yes. Why not???

Do you know why Chava has so exciting avatar???

[MidniteHowl]

Probably because of that mysterious abstract feeling it inspires...? :D

Yes!!!! Of course... and then after a few days, you turn it back inside in, because the air has cleaned it.. you can usually do a cycle of about say, 1 mth with a pair of underwear before washing!!!!!!:p :D

Do you know why Baki keeps changing her avatar, and somehow they are always great???? I just don't get it???

[Janine]

islandclimber - ick on the underwear issue. You must smell great after a few days camping....eek.

Why do people vote on novels on the threads on Lit Net; then never show up for the discussion groups? (sorry, one of my pet peeves...not directed at anyone in particular)

[islandclimber]

cuz people are silly silly silly... and then they are shaded with grey and green and little space aliens come and kidnap them just as they are about to post in the discussion groups! and they brainwash them so they will never commit that blasphemy of discussing a story, helping to preserve the status quo, where discussion groups are meant to have no more than a few people!!!!! anymore and, oh no, the discussion might become too interesting to bear! :D

What's up with the melancholy geraniums???? Can geraniums be melancholy in the fist place? alien geraniums? (ooops, too many questions)

[Dori]

EDIT: Ooops! Baki beat me to it. Next person answer both questions. :D

No one really knows. However, some scientists have theorized that yawning might be a vestige of our evolutionary past. Perhaps yawning served some purpose to our ancestors.

Is it true that "to be an honest man is to be one in ten thousand"?

[papayahed]

No, I'm an optimist and think that at the heart of the matter most people are good.

Who wrote the book of love?

[islandclimber]

all geraniums are melancholy... beautiful and purely melancholy.. it is just a fact of life Baki, I am sorry to disappoint you with this, but once you fully realize and accept it, you will be further on your own way to perfect and beautiful melancholy :P

and since there is another answer to my post...

Dori, I think it is completely false, more or less it is true that to be an honest man is to be one in a billion!!!! i sure like to lie... i mean no I don't... :D

[papayahed]

what are waterfalls like?

[islandclimber]

*laughs deviously about monopolizing thread at the moment...*
