Quirky Questions from SwapBot

 1.   Did you become what you wanted to be when you grew up? Are you happy with your choice?
I wanted to be a cowboy or a jet pilot.. so no, I didn't but, they were unrealistic anyway.
But even in university I couldn't pin down what I wanted.. turns out I wanted Forensic anthropology.

2.    Did man really go to the moon or was it a publicity stunt?
I don't believe that they went by rocket, no. But I think there are more advanced ways we aren't privy too.

3.    Given the opportunity to change one major aspect of your life (i.e. career, relationship, family) with no guarantee of the outcome, would you take the chance? Why?
Yes i would take a chance on changing my marriage as it was awful.

4.    Does money buy happiness?
Yes. It can.   I know, I know... I've heard  all the pious platitudes about love and etc. but its horse hockey. For a very poor person money can buy them a lot of happiness.
No one starving is happy.
No one naked is happy.
No one living in dire poverty is happy.
No one unable to afford decent medical care is happy.
So while the sappy memes people post  look good, they are not the truth.

5.    What is the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning?

Open my eyes of course.

6.    What are we going to do when we run out of room to bury the dead?

We won't. I used to think about that as a teen then I wised up and realized, due to my archaeology and anthropology that you are probably living over many dead bodies and don't even know it. They do nearly disintegrate over time, soil builds up and voila.. its like they  never existed.

7.    What is your greatest fear? Why? Is it rational or unreasonable?
I don't have one really.

8.    How do you feel about the exploitation of your private data in the digital age? Does it ever cross your mind or are you hyper-aware of the risks?
Not worried about it overly. I do take precautions.

9.    You can be forgiven one debt. What is it? If you don’t have debt, then how did you do it?
Mortgage.

10.    Hot or cold? Well, you must have both.

11.    What is your favorite thing in the world (aside from family, friends, pets)?
Nothing. I am not a person who goes on about that kind of thing.

12.    You have to give up one of your five senses. Which one would you go without?
 I have to or what?? What would happen when I say no?
Anyway, I do Kobayashi Maru as usual and change the " you have to" to you don't have to and then I don't. easy.


13.    Do you believe everyone has a doppelgänger?
No. While there are lookalikes, there are no doppelgangers really.
There are people whose handwriting is similar,etc. They really fall in classes actually.

14.    Likewise, does everyone have a soulmate or is it just a matter of proximity and circumstance?
 No. I don't see any evidence of it.  I like the idea of it though, but think it's mostly junk.

15.    Imagine you have a theme song that plays every time you enter a room. What would your song be?
The Imperial March from Star Wars of course.


Thanks to Bev for another great job.
