World War Z. (It was a long flight).
What was the first movie that made you cry?
Benji?
What movie can you watch over and over?
Do, or do not. There is no try. - Yoda
I have to say Jaws, I just love that movie.
What is the most exotic pet you have, or had?

Five hermit crabs, one of which crunched up and ate the other four one night, while I slept the sleep of a kindergartener.
Would you rather eat a rat's brain or a dog's testes? (C'mon, c'mon, it's one or the other...)

A dog's testes. They always seem to licking them.
What's the worst tasting thing you have ever eaten?

My dad told me once that they tried brussels sprouts on me when I was very young, and his permanent definition of a nanosecond is the amount of time it stayed in my mouth. He recalls me getting good distance on it, too.
What's your favorite breakfast cereal?

If you could have free soup or free sandwiches for the rest of your life which would you choose?
Do, or do not. There is no try. - Yoda
Definitely free sandwiches
Where is the farthest you have travelled from where you live?

That's a tough one. I'll go with soup, because the best soups can be a lot more complex and expensive than the best sandwiches. So I'll do the cheaper and easier one myself.
If you could have a free lifetime subscription to one magazine, what would it be?

As of now, I live in two places on opposite ends of the earth, and I've traveled as far as possible from both of them without going into space.Originally Posted by Dark Muse
Oh, Ranger Rick, Fishing Facts, maybe Cat Fancy if it's not about something dirty. It's kind of hard to say.
What was the scariest moment of your life?
When the Genetic Bomb called "BiPolar", a gift from my absentee father, went off in 1994
Are you really serious about playing these games?

Can't be too serious about games or they stop being fun.

The Shadow knows but he ain't saying.
According to Plutarch, the ship that Theseus used when he sailed to Crete to defeat the Minotaur was kept for centuries as a relic in Athens. As parts of the ship decayed, they were replaced. Eventually no original component survived. This, Plutarch says, excited debate in the philosophical schools about whether it was the same ship. Whether or not the story of Theseus has some kind of historicity, was the fully repaired ship the same one that the Athenians originally preserved?

That's hard. I don't know. I tried to find a similar debate concerning really old, damaged paintings which are retouched until they no longer contain the same paint, applied by the same hand, but I wasn't sure how to search for it.
I would say that it's not the same ship, but it's a pretty convincing effigy, and it doesn't matter anyway.
Can the word effigy be applied to non human replications, or am I wrong in doing so? (is my question)
So with the courage of a clown, or a cur, or a kite jerkin tight at it's tether
