1. What was the first job you ever had? Did you enjoy it?

I was a ride operator at an amusement park.

2. You have been elected Dictator of the world. What is your first executive order?

Collect and burn all tie-dye clothing.

3. You get the chance to go back in human history, let's say 500 years, and bring one invention with you (it can be that you bring the knowledge of how to build it) - what invention do you bring?

Modern plumbing and sewage systems.

4. You are invited to a superhero/supervillain costume party and are asked to dress as a character that reflects your sexuality - who do you dress as?

Mr. Fantastic

5. The Soviets once tried to create a "Humanzee" - a Chimp/Human hybrid - if you could create one animal hybrid (mix of two animals), what animal hybrid would you create? (let's ignore ethics for this question)

Obviously a tick and a mosquito. Instead of inserting their proboscis in you, they'll fly over to you and insert their entire body beneath your skin.

6. Aliens have come to Earth in an Arrival-like scenario. Their ship has docked but contact has yet to be made. You, being the elected Alien diplomat, are tasked with sending them one album as a peace offering - what album do you send them to try to show goodwill and avoid war?[/QUOTE]

That's not what ticks do, city slicker.

Lol, I'm definitely not a city slicker, grew up in the boonies. I've had many ticks on me before, the first was after spending an afternoon with my father splitting wood - and then when I went to take a dump, I found it crawling up my leg. Tough little bastards too - my favorite method now of dealing with them is to get a piece of duct tape, and stick their ass to it. I find that method of death for a tick to be ironic.

But I will claim ignorance. I thought that given enough time, they'll eventually get beneath your skin's surface, it appears I'm totally wrong about that.

Probably never even face****ed a rattlesnake.

1. What was the first job you ever had? Did you enjoy it?

The people that raised me both had their own businesses so from 8+ if I wasn't babysitting my siblings I was their personal day-laborer that worked for free. First real job though was concessions at a movie theater when I stayed with my grandparents one summer. Nothing but great memories.

Time for your weekly probing.

1. What was the worst physical sickness you've ever had? How long did it take to recover? What was it like?

2. Do you believe in any kind of life after death?

3. A supervillain has developed a terrible new weapon and is planning to eradicate all philosophers and intellectuals from history, entirely reshaping our current world. The supervillain has given you the choice of one philosopher/intellectual for him not to eradicate, thus our entire current world, practices, beliefs, and understandings will derive from the ideas and teachings of this one person - who do you choose?

4. What is the worst possible death you can possibly imagine/describe?

5. Is there a time in history you'd rather have been born in than our modern times? If so, why?

6. Do you believe that we humans will successfully colonize space? If so, do you think that our technological capabilities will advance quickly enough that we humans will be able to distance ourselves enough from the Milky Way galaxy that we will avoid extinction when the sun explodes in 5-7 billion years (this assumes we won't be dead before this happens and there's no other ELE)?

1. What was the worst physical sickness you've ever had? How long did it take to recover? What was it like?
I've never had anything serious fortunately. I think the worst was the sinus infection I had when I was 14, it was bad enough that I had to undergo light surgery
2. Do you believe in any kind of life after death?
No
3. A supervillain has developed a terrible new weapon and is planning to eradicate all philosophers and intellectuals from history, entirely reshaping our current world. The supervillain has given you the choice of one philosopher/intellectual for him not to eradicate, thus our entire current world, practices, beliefs, and understandings will derive from the ideas and teachings of this one person - who do you choose?
damn that's a difficult question, Bertrand Russell I guess?
4. What is the worst possible death you can possibly imagine/describe?
death by torture with everyone you know having to watch
5. Is there a time in history you'd rather have been born in than our modern times? If so, why?
hell no
6. Do you believe that we humans will successfully colonize space? If so, do you think that our technological capabilities will advance quickly enough that we humans will be able to distance ourselves enough from the Milky Way galaxy that we will avoid extinction when the sun explodes in 5-7 billion years (this assumes we won't be dead before this happens and there's no other ELE)?
I think it's more likely that humankind destroys itself before that happens
