A fruit...pear.
Do you consider cucumber a vegetable?
Yes, I do, even though I know it is a fruit of the plant.
What about the tomato? Is it a fruit, or an alien organism from outer space pretending to be a vegetable?
It's "the-one-absolutely-delicious-thing-pizza-wouldn't-work-without" ;)
What's your favourite yogurt ?
greek yogurt with honey and roasted almonds.
What makes your day?
When people just let me be me and don't get all uptight.
What would be your favorite book?
The one that can create a time pocket while i read it so that indulging in it wouldn't be called procrastination....
same ques.
It is so difficult to name a "favorite" anything. After all, I'm not dead yet and there are certainly more books to read! Besides, naming one is nearly impossible, from the many that could qualify.
"Favorite" for what reason, too? Most profound impact? Pivotal to my personal philosophy and value system? Greatest insight? Most difficult to set down? You see the problem, I'm sure.
Having to do with best business practices: "Corporate Insanity", "Zapp!"
Having to do with personal growth: "Loving What Is"
Deepest emotional impact: "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee", "101 Minutes"
Favorite adventure: "The Three Musketeers", "The Count of Monte Cristo", "Robin Hood", "The Last of the Mohicans", "Huckleberry Finn", "I Married Adventure", "Call of the Wild"
Favorite Science Fiction: "I, Robot"
Favorite humor: "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe"
To the person below me: What is the best purchase and what is the worst purchase you've ever made?
Hmmm, difficult to answer, as I have purchased many good and many useless things I later detested.
One of the best: the accumulation of my mini-library.
One of the worst: a vehicle (that I very soon later sold for much cheaper, since it seemed far too high-maintenance).
To the person below me: again, I love asking this question now and then -- what have you learned recently that really interested you?
Yesterday, I learned that in (Ancient) Greek, there is, next to Active and Passive Voice, another genus verbi, the Medium. It allows several different ways of translation and thus interpretation, but the most beautiful and interesting one to me is the reciprocal one to be rendered into English using 'each other, one another, together with, for the advantage of,...'
Thus φιλομεν ("we love") can be a lot more intensified turning it into φιλομεθα ("we love each other, we love one another, we love each other jointly, we love for each other,..."). All that meaning in one single verb form ! I think that's amazing and now I understand how Greek poetry must be thriving on the many possibilities this language offers...
As that is a very good question, with mono's permission I'll pass it along :D:

I like the question.....same one again.
I learned some new tricks with a football. :p
I also learned that the right shoes make a lot of difference in football.
Sorry about it not being really profound or anything, but I think these things are true revelations for any football player. :D
Same Question, yes, it is good, and deserves another go.
What have you learned recently that really interested you?
I have learned that "That which does not kill you makes you strong." is a very truthful statement. Life throws a lot of things at us, and life is not always fair. So we can lie in the wreckage and whine or choose to rise above it and make the best of things. Carpe Diem! :)
And Kelly, Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee is one of my favorites as well, for the same reasons you gave. I almost wore my copy out! ;)
I'll pass Mono's question: What have you learned recently that really interested you?

which means i died so many times allready but it seems i keep getting up...

(yeah i know it sound stupied and kitch but... what can we do... death seems to surrond us in very odd times... )
Same Q Please:
Time doesnt allow you to sit back and think of the past.
Next person:
After logging off from litnet, do you recall anything that happened here, as in, does any conversation that you had replay in your mind? Or is it out of sight out of mind, after log-off?
Things from lit-net definitely run through my mind...I think of it as real conversation, and get some weird looks from friends when I talk casually about my internet life!!
Same question.
