1: Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says:

"Dennis Foote put on his helmet and his rubber boots and entered Ole's with Orr, but that area of the building was just about totally destroyed and the sheriff's investigators were already finishing up."

2: Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first?

Nothing, although if I stretch down that same distance I can touch the space heater.

on DVD, "Casablanca." On actual tv... something on the Food Network before I fell asleep.

12:35.

5: Now look at the clock; what is the actual time?

12:57

Define "weird." By whose standards?

14: What do you think of this quiz?

At least it's been proofread...

15: What is the last film you saw?

19: Do you like to dance?

Love to.

20: George Bush: is he a power-crazy nutcase or someone who is finally doing something that has needed to be done for years?

I don't think he's power-crazy. I do think he's obesessed with recreating Americna in only his ideal, and doesn't understand why we can't all just accept his vision as the way it should be. I do think he's an intentionally isolated and closed-minded individual whom I would not want leading a boy scout group much less a nation.

21a: Imagine your first child is a girl; what do you call her?
21b: Imagine your first child is a boy; what do you call him?

Yes, with a few places off the list for safety reasons.

Addendum: And after a long day of brain-frying, one more from... Bear? Was this one from you?

You are Russell Wong. you like to act tough and be bad, but you are often sensitive to the needs of others as well as the needs of your peers. You are the dainty, delictable, and sensitive type. You like to be pampered and treated like the queen that you are!

Delictable, hmm? But hey, I can't be bad and sensitive? I demand a recount. Or I'll kick your wussy ass.

(And yes, I fixed some of the coding and netspeak in that. I cannot stand "ur" and "u". They're not long words, people! Spell 'em out!)
