Multiple times. The last thing I disassembled was my fake Android tablet, whose touchscreen shattered due to a fall. I went so far as to disassemble its lithium-polymer battery, and it almost burst into flames had I not flushed running water over it.

Have you gotten yourself in trouble for disassembling gadgets and objects?

I have, but I was able to put them back together.

What is the happiest decade that you've lived through?

The 70's, when I was a kid.

What is your favorite carnival ride?

The log ride.

same question?

That's completely silly. When did the Arabic language get dibs on right-to-left writing? The Japanese language (the origin of manga is Japan) is also a language that uses right-to-left scripts, and as is the case with Chinese, which Japanese has origins in, and those definitely are not the only languages, other than Arabic, that have it that way, either.




I don't have one. Several are fun in their own ways.

Question: Do you like tea (black, green, white or oolong tea, that is, and any eventual others that come from the tea bush)? If so, what's your favourite kind, and what's your favourite way of preparing it (in a teapot or not (maybe just with bags), with or without milk (or soy milk, etc.), with or without cream, sugar, lemon, etc.)?

I like Chai tea prepared in a teapot with milk added to it.

What has your overall mood been like in the past week?

I disagree. The Arabic language has been using right-to-left since its inception, and it derives its roots from Semitic languages, who all use right-to-left scripting. And Semitics have already existed before East Asian languages have been devised. I don't know about what you think, but I grew up reading Arabic magazines my dad had brought me from Saudi Arabia even before I knew about manga. And I speak Arabic (although not as fluent as you may perceive), so I know better.

For IdahoRose's question: Well, I suffer from mood swings, and there are times when I feel happy, but the last day of the week makes me kind of depressed.

How do you answer ad hominem attacks on your opinions?

I answer with "You're so dumb, you tripped over a cordless phone.".

What's your favorite "Yo mamma" joke?

Maybe one should find everything to be a rip-off that isn't in Cuneiform, then, or, better yet, Proto-Indo-European, or, for that matter, whatever else now unknown language that has existed before the languages of today. Should we maybe have patents against how other languages can be?

(I'll skip answering swbluto's question... I just had to reply to this highly irrational reasoning. I'm sorry for derailing the thread... I'm done, now.)

Sir, please read the PM I sent you. As much I want to answer you here, for the benefit of the rest, I'd do it the right way. Anyway, I'm sorry, friends, for stooping down to this level. Now where were we?

I watched Russell Peters's stints on YouTube, and although the "Yo Momma" joke by itself is plain, the execution rocks:

What video made your day?

The guy playing the autistic reporter on the Onion's channel that someone posted. He does a great job!

Do you have any book that you read over again, every year or so and always get something new out of it? If so, what book is it? If not, do you do this with a movie, etc?

Frances

I do, with The Da Vinci Code. For movies, I regularly play the Austin Powers series over and over.

Do you do the same with music? If so, what songs?

Yes. I listen to a bunch of CDs over again and I listen to a few songs on You Tube over and over.

What song do you have on repeat?

How about yours?

I don't put any songs on repeat, only on occasion.

Same question.

I love this song. I listened to it a lot back in '07 and '08. I'm so happy somebody finally put up my favorite version of it (apparently there are dozens of different remixes of it).

Do you listen to Eurodance music?
