Q: Would you rather explore space or the deep sea?

cool tune.

both certainly have their hazards. i'd prefer outer space due to the fact that it is away from earth, with a far greater likelyhood of encountering intelligent [non-human] life. plus its prettier.

Q- same question.

I'd certainly want to go explore space rather than the crushing depths of the sea.



However, is part of what attracts people to desire space travel that such ideas are reminiscent of the history of the ages of exploration, colonization, and discovery by sailing ship? The period of intercontinental travel seems, to me, to be highly analogous to what most people seem to want in regard to space. What do you think?

They're all facets of the same thing: exploration.

What's the difference between a duck?

Nothing, unless one were to disregard the notion of identity or be within a b-grade horror film. One of the three.



What are the differences between a budgie, a cockatiel, and an alligator?

One is an informal nickname for a small parrot native to Australia, one is the smallest cockatoo endemic to Australia, and the other is a crocodilian in the genus Alligator of the family Alligatoridae.

What is the difference between a dwarf and a pygmy?

One appears in Snow White and the other doesn't? :?

Ok, I give up.
Same question.

Pygmy is worth more in scrabble I do believe.


Have you ever tried to spontaneously combust before? Did it work?

Yes, but being fireproofed it was doomed to failure from the start.

Same question.

Wherever I can get a rebate or discount from.


Which is the most appealing to you: showering with battery acid, walking barefoot through a compost heap strewn with shards of broken glass and medical waste during gale-force winds, or a nice nutritious and delicious lunch with me? Take your time and think it through.

I will take the lunch with you any day, though I don't fear needles (only the diseases they can carry).

Would you rather spend eight hours getting a tattoo, or eight hours watching a MILITARY tattoo?

Neither. I think I'd rather have lighted matches under my fingernails...

Would you like to try hang gliding?
