Interviewing the fora
Instead of just interviewing one person, in this thread you post an interview question, and the next person to post will answer the question and pose another for whoever posts next.
I shall start:
So, unknown next poster, how old are you?

Re: Interviewing the fora
Because I get a lot from the fora. It ammuses me; it gives me something to do when I'm bored; it educates me; I have made friends through it; I get a sense of belonging due to the great community.

Yes, my wife & I have two cats.
1. Dory is a domestic short hair (or some such). Very pretty fur, almost has a violet tint to it.
2. Kala is a persian/himalayan mix and has beautiful fur and the sweetest blue eyes I've ever seen (which makes her pure evil, since noone can resist them).
What's the one vice you just can't quit?

One hour back. Having more time is definitely better than having less time. That way I could spend an extra hour procrastinating and not doing my homework. As a bonus, jumping back in time is a more severe violation of physics and therefore would be more awesome.

Re: Interviewing the fora
Wow, that's a tough one. I'm vegetarian, BTW.
Anyway, it would start with a great salad with lots of tasty stuff in it - apples, raisins, nuts, cherry tomatoes, lettuce etc. Also, there'll be freshly baked bread with excellent room-temperature butter and incredibly stinky cheeses. Maybe some antipasti to go with it.
For the main course, I think maybe whole wheat pasta with an interesting sauce.
For desert, something that combines hot and cold. Warm cake and ice cream, for example. Apple cakes are always good, or gooey chocolate cakes. Cheesecakes are usually cold.
This would probably change if it were hotter. Also, I'm assuming zero calories and as much space in my stomach as needed.

Ooh, tough one. I clench, and try to release it in a slow, controlled manner, while moving. That accomplishes three things: 1) people are less able to pin it on me, 2) over more area, the smell is less concentrated, and 3) hopefully I have enough ability to control the noise factor by controlling the speed of release.

I think relativism of any sort leads to an inevitable stalemate, where no objectivity or empiricism can be agreed upon. Which eventually makes any sort of communication irrational, unstable, and valueless.
