1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your favorite lyric to your current favorite song. Or your favorite kind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. Update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. Include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.
Play if it is your will, do not if it is not.
1) Internment or cremation?
Possibly cremation. I don't really like the idea of wasting perfectly good organic matter in an airtight box six feet under, not to mention the real estate.
Of course, as I'll be dead, those remaining alive may supersede my thoughts in this case.
2) Name something from your childhood that delighted you. You spent hours with this thing. What was it?
It'd be cheating to say, "Richard Adams's Watership Down", yeah?
I don't know. I found the Magic 8-Ball pretty hilarious for a while, but Mom took it away because she thought we were using it too much.
3) Have you ever had a psychic or paranormal experience?
No. Not even with the aforementioned Magic 8-Ball.
4) How do you remove a splinter?
Using the nail of the index finger, I press on the skin just past the embedded end of the splinter, and scrape to push it out. Once it is sufficiently exposed, I grip with the index finger fingernail and thumbnail and pull.
(Unless, of course, I have tweezers. Sadly, while the Swiss Army Knife does, the Leatherman does not.)
5) Was Nicola Tesla more of a genius than Thomas Edison?
Geez, you ask the hard questions, don't you? :)
I'm inclined to say Tesla. Clever as Edison was, AC power transmission is much better than DC, and system-builders like Tesla have bigger historical effects than inventors like Edison, not in the least because systems lead to generations of new inventions (e.g. refrigerators, air conditioners).
Of course, then comes the question: was Thomas Edison more of a genius than Robert Moog? :D
