I almost spit my coffee all over my lap when I saw this thread. Great way to wake up, eh?
1. Why doesn't Nomad have his own "ask me" thread?
Nomad has recognized that my intellect is vastly superior to his. Because of this, feel free to direct all your "Nomad" questions to me, I'm sure I can come up with a satisfactory answer : )
2. What color are your toenails?
They are a very mirrored dark lavendar color. Perfect for the transition from summer to fall.
3. What is Pi to the 50th decimal point?
The 50th number after the decimal is 0, thusly: 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510
4. Who killed JFK?
The news media.
5. How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsy pop?
Didn't you see that commercial with the owl? It's THREE, obviously. Although once it took me over 60 licks.
If it takes ten men, ten days, to dig a whole, how long does it take a grass hopper, with a wooden leg, to kick all the seeds out of a dill pickile? Spelling counts.

None. Because I've already dunked the pickle in tea and eaten it.
We won't know anything more until my brother does a day of testing some time in November. For some reason the Clinic is unable to schedule appointments less than eight weeks in advance. If they see that one of his kidneys only has one artery going to it...he's cool, we'll schedule surgery. If both his kidneys have two or more arteries going to them he'll need ANOTHER bunch of tests to determine which would be easier to slice out and Lord help us if he does because I bet that will be another eight freaking weeks. THEN we'll schedule surgery. I DO have to face the embarassment that is "drug dependency counselling" in three days. I was honest about partaking in a bit of public marijuana at a party back in February and obviously that makes me a huge drug addict so I have to go to a counselling session for them to "determine" that I'm not addicted, even though when my nephrologist asked if I did drugs and I told him about the February incident he told me "pot doesn't count." *rolls eyes* THIS appointment was made two months ago. Heaven forbid we make timely doctors' appointments, something might actually get done. Anyway, the point of that long rant was that I won't actually get surgery till probably January. If it turns out to be longer than that I will be INSANE with anger, let me tell you. It's like they think I have the $36,000 a month they're trying to charge me for dialysis, and when I tell them they're not getting a cent they drag their feet even more. OK, so maybe my exact words were "you'll get your money if you hurry this the f--- up" as I thew my bill in the guy's face and laughed loudly and bitterly in front of a room full of other patients. Wow, that whole statement was kind of bitter, I apologize. But still. Enough is enough. :yh_blush
I read that when the archaeologists dug down into the ancient cemetary, they found fragments of human bones! What kind of barbarians were these people, anyway?
I know, I know. I've been unable to get to a computer as often as I used to! I need to hook up my own laptop or something at Mr. Action Stepho's place.
You are a supervisor of a construction job and are responsible for the building. Unknown to you, your subcontractors use substandard materials. The building collapses, killing a family.
Would you take all the responsibility yourself, even if it means prison time, or try to put the responsibility on the subcontractors?

You back into a car by a lake. You car is undamaged, but the other car's door is caved in. The owners are nowhere in sight, and there are no other witnesses.
Would you leave?

Hrm...I think I would like to re-watch the time I "learned" how to dance. It must be hysterical!

Save them. My life's not so great anyway!
Jives wrote: Which stereotype about women bothers you the most:
Women are basically emotional wrecks.
Women are ditzy and incapable of performing complicated tasks.
The second.
It's actually been scientifically proven that women can think with both sides of their brain, because their cerebellum's are fused, whereas men cannot. So women are better at doing different kinds of tasks, which is why they can iron a shirt, watch a toddler, fill out a crossword puzzle, make a phone call and fix the plumbing all at the same time. Go women!!! Hurray!
