Ask the last poster a question. Hypothetical, personal, complicated, ask away.

Why is the sky blue?

why do meteors always land in craters?

It was once thought to be related to the high concentrations of oxygen but it is said to be because the blue molecules diffused light/are diffused by light more than those of any other color present in the atmosphere.

Or because a wizard did it.

They roll there.

RC, if you had the chance to show a visitor to Earth one movie, what would it be?

DESTROY ALL MONSTERS (1968)
We got enuff problems.
If he's smart-he'll fly away and never,ever come back.

 :bouncegiggle:

If you had a clone of yourself that would do whatever you told it to do, what would you do with it?

Tell it to run in traffic. I don't need another me.
I have a hard time with 'me' me.
I don't need Me#2 to worry about.

If you could relive any one day of your life, which day would it be?

The day I learned how to ride a bike. In 1970. I remember it like it was yesterday.

If you could bring one person back to life-who would it be?

My sister-in-law.  Oops... am I not playing right? 

I'm torn between Tara Sue and my brother Richie.  :bluesad:

If you had the choice between going to Machu Piccu or the Prymaids of Egypt-where would you go?
I'm sure I spelt most of that wrong-but I'm drunk. And I'm busy cooking in between typing.

One day to relive.... Wow. Well there was a day in 1994 that was very special. I accidentally got left home, ha, so I spent this entire Sunday driving around going places with this guy I was in love with, and we ended up sitting on a tall hill above the river, way high above everything, stealing this unexpected day from life, knowing even then I was living through a day I would always remember.

Who would I bring back to life?

Sigh. Man I hope I'd resist that if I had the power because surely that'd warp everything.

The pyramids, RC.

My daughter.

If you could choose ahead of time what your last words would be, what would you want to say?

"The treasure is..."

If you could change one major event in world history, what would it be?

WWII.

If you could speak another language, what would it be?

Speaking German would be useful at work these days.

If you could forget one person from your life, present or past, who would it be?

RC, do the words "ultimate insurance scam" mean anything to you?

Imagine if someone answered: my child.

Who do you admire most in this world?

I would alert the authorities about the horrors about to happen on my birthday on 9/11 - all aeroplanes would be grounded - and I would tell Princess Diana not to be a passenger in that Mercedes in Paris on 31 August 1997  :bluesad:

Hmmm...I gotta think that over ...

Bela Lugosi.
(who did you think I was gonna say? Da Vinci? Harry Truman? )  :wink:

Oh yeah- I gotta ask a question...hmmm...

If by some weird cosmic thing- you could become a God, would you?

No.  I don't have HIS patience.

Sounds like a lotta work but sure I'd give it a stab, though my luck I'd wind up goddess of bus station restroom stalls.

What was the best thing you ever did? The thing that makes you proudest.

Career wise: assisting on an Oscar winning documentary.
 :smile:

Why do important emails keep disappearing?

Answer: They are a sign of the slips and slides we all undergo between the infinite dimensions that are part of the fabric of multiversal reality. No biggie.


Question: Could my daddy beat up your daddy?

I suspect he could, and if he wants to give it a go I am more than happy to give him a crowbar to help your daddy out. I may want to sit, munch some popcorn and watch the mayhem though.

Raise 2 good children.

World's greatest answer, RC!

If you could go back in time and punch any one person from your life in the nose, who would it be?

Help a skeptical friend find her way back to faith.

My biological parents for throwing me away like a piece of s**t
  :hatred:

Revenge is a dish best served:

A. Among friends.

B. With a bacterial cream sauce.

C. In the dark.

D. Psychologically.

Also D. Only demented pussies get revenge, I forgive and wait for God to cast the son of a b itch into blazing Hellfire where he shall writhe eternally amid screams and pleas and endless pain because I'm holy that way.

Guess you'll have to put me down as a Demented p***y then. I like to get my own revenge and not rely on other people to do it for me.

By chance do you ever use an ameboic cream sauce, though?

On a couple of occasions, yes.

I knew it!

Being happy is the best revenge there is.   :teddyr:

Kind of gross but if you've kissed enough people, ever notice some people's mouths are much hotter (temperature-wise) than others?

As in many other things, my experience there is pretty limited! LOL

(Stupid monogamy!!  :teddyr: )

to ER's question, yes, i HAVE noticed that!
how come real estate people don't have to take at least a basic course in photography, particularly when it comes to perspective and spatial relations? it should be required!

Hmm, because they're cheap hacks, I gather.

Sunday special: ask me anything.

Is anyone here a member of the actual real world mile-high club? (I don't mean the one where you barf on an airplane, that's the Bile-High Club.)

Not me.

Not answering.

Umm.... I once accidentally locked myself in an airplane's toilet  :wink:

Have you ever woken up with vomit in your hair in the middle of a room?

Yes, and some times it has even been mine.

Ever had a butterfly land on your nose?

No- and if it did I'd likely swat it and kill it- thinking it's a bee or something.  :bluesad:

If you could save only one (or none) of these victims of 1960s violence, would you rather save Ngo Dinh Diem, Robert Kennedy, or Malcolm X?

Diem was a brutal tyrant who had outlived his usefulness.
Robert Kennedy had swung so far left I don't know what he might have done to the country.
Malcolm X had just experienced a spiritual renewal that led him to step away from his earlier calls to violence.
 

Tough call, to be honest, between those last two.

Am I still relevant both here and in this world as it is?

You are most assuredly relevant here, and while there are people in this world who think of you as ' Uncle Zombie', you are relevant to the world outside of this place too.

Thanks: the question wasn't self-pity or anything like that: I do question my role in life a lot.  :smile:

Trevor, in archiving films you preserve a portion of humankind's legacy for the future. You and all historians do noble work. I don't know if any of us can appreciate exactly how we've impacted and changed the world, some people just maybe in ways that would shock them, so considering you've influenced more people for good than bad, I'd say you have relevance in that way too. You're doing fine.

Thanks: I've been working here for 28 years (December 1st is the start of the 29th year) and I wonder how long I can still do it and still be useful and relevant.

Two of my former colleagues were forgotten even before they retired - one has since passed on - and I do not want that to happen to me.  :bluesad:

Just relax and feel the love for you here Trevor.

And you could always get a can of spray paint and spray "Trevor was 'ere" somewhere prominent. These things can remain in place for decades before anyone gets round to cleaning them up.

I've always kind of pictured you as the kind of guy who helps out the new arrivals. People like that tend to leave an impression and be remembered a long time after they have left.

If it's not too personal of a suggestion, Trevor, (and I apologize if it is) have you ever thought of raising a child? There's probably no better way of assuring you'll be remembered or of changing another person's life for the better. I think you're a kind man and I know there are young people out there who are in need of a family, whatever form that family happens to be.

ditto

Aww... bro hug  :smile:

I did something like that in 1984 when I left school: I scrawled the Kilroy Was Here image on a wall with a compass - I think - and when I went back to the school almost 20 years later it was still there.  :smile:


I try to be a mentor to all if I can.

I have considered that but no adoption agency here will permit a single guy to adopt a child: my special Sister (note the capital S) did this but she was already married.

It's always strange to me that most adults who don't know me well find me intense and scary while children - the most perceptive of all human beings - do not. And yes, i do like children.
