There were apples all over the ground, and the bear just picked them up and started chucking them at my dad. He was freaking out and telling his wife and i to go find the forest rangers, call the national guard, all that %$%#$, but I just thought it was hilarious. (In retrospect, why [b]didn't[/b[ the bear play with me?) :lol:
that's hysterical!!!! jolly good game of catch!

To the person below me: on average, do you use a cell phone or a home phone more often?
Probably home phone. No, cell phone. No - I'd say home phone. Cell phone. Argh. Home phone? :D
To the person below: Do you play a musical instrument?
A few, yes. I play best with stringed instruments, guitar, bass, mandolin and a little on cello, but I also play some piano (which a few could consider a strings instrument), percussion (mostly hand-percussion), trumpet, and harmonica.

To the person below me: what weather and outdoor temperature do you enjoy most, and why?
Hot,hot, hot! Caliente', caliente', caliente'!! Desert conditions, with a fresh water source (a clean lake, river). Why hot? I once lived for 3.5 years in a place where minus 45-55 degrees CELCIUS was the rule, not the exception, during long periods in the winters. This environment fundamentally changed me. I live in a desert like valley, where the sun is a major attraction, held in reverence. Cold is bad. Hot is good. Hot is godly, hot tends to encourage people to enjoy cool beverages, and clothing becomes much less ...................................concealing..... ..

Which person do you think has made the most contribution to science?
Very difficult to say, considering the many sciences in existence, but perhaps one of the ancient Greeks, who started much thought concerning science, before scientific instruments, maybe Anaximander, Hippocrates, or Aristotle. In terms of more modern science, especially with all of the branches, I cannot even guess.
To the person below me: same question. :)
For the biological and medical sciences, I would add Galen to the list mono started. Plato and his Forms were also relatively important...
But then you have to start wondering about how many things qualify as science (or the products of science) and this poor question gets entirely out of control! So moving right along...
