Once we definitively KNOW they're bad, and it's too late to do anything about it (all the worlds crops are now GMO, etc.) ;)
Do you remember the time BEFORE they sealed Tylenol and other pill bottles, and why the change was made? o.O
I do, it was because disgruntled employees were adding impurities, some of which were lethal
Does rain mean drive faster everywhere
For history of the Tylenol Murders, read here:

"Rain" only means "drive faster" if you're an idiot. ;)

There's no follow up question Rookeye - I'm banning you in the other thread...:p
There is no follow-up question there, either, Jun.
What do you think about the idea of a guaranteed minimum income or a negative income tax, which are systems of welfare where every person recieves a small amount of money each (month/week) in order to live a frugal lifestyle, which also supplements whatever income a person receives?
I would want to test it on a small scale first, since I don't know what the outcome could be.
What YouTube video do you watch that will always make you laugh or cry?
Death Star Canteen (lego version) always cracks me up... ;)
Do you think George Lucas:
(A) should never have meddled with the cannon of his own films, leaving them essentially as is, or
(B) is the films owner and therefore has endless artistic license to change story as he sees fit?
Having seen the original several time's at the theater, both answers are valid, although he should go broke after hacking a childhood treasure to pieces
What country will drive by computer, become common place first
Hmmm...tempted to say Germany, but I'm prolly wrong.
What was "Royal purple dye" and how was it made?
Royal purple dye was a type of dye
How many lives where lost on 9/11/01
You missed "how was it made" dear...
The figures given from various news agencies always seem to round it to "nearly 3,000" who died. A lot.
If the mortality rate is 100% on this planet, why is the idea of an afterlife so persistent, across generations and cultures? (Where would a mortal race get the idea of something different?)
I think it goes back to the belief that there was something else out there that controlled life as we know it (pre-science days). That belief also led people to think that there was something beyond our physical selves and helped them to cope with death - instead of an end, some started to think that it was a beginning of a new, better life.
Do you believe in ghosts?
Define "ghosts". And "pre-science". ;)
Did you ever play tricks on yourself as a kid, trying to scare yourself? If yes, why?
I never played tricks on myself - just on my younger brothers, and even then it wasn't to spook them. Only to get them in trouble...
Do you ever read the terms of service or the end user license agreements for games and other software, or do you only read them when they come up in a situation (i.e. Gree says VPNs are against TOS - did you go look that up or did you know that already from reading it beforehand)?
I actually just read the ToS from Gree as I was wandering around the forums, no specific issue in mind
What famous children's author collected hats, using a new hat as inspiration for each of his books?
Dr Seuss ("The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins") ;)
I'm not sure he got a new chapeau before each book, but why not? Lol
What is the most outlandish piece of clothing you own (or have ever worn)?
An authentic '91 purple arseneo hall suit with extra tall shoulder pads during my redneck denial period...no i do not have any pics...

Is Steampunk cool or misguided?
Steampunk is the hipster version of the renaissaance faire
Where can a decent pocket watch be purchased
In 1880...
What is your absolute favorite book...to be read to you?
War and peace...as ayou child, mother had a soothing voice, and it was a practical primer for marriage
Why are there no cartoons on saturday morning standard broadcast stations
Because at one time this nation went to church on Sunday mornings. :)
Would you prefer a Solar or Lunar calendar? Why?
SOLar.
Because the sun rules. And a lunar calendar relies upon the relative positions of three cosmic objects whereas a solar calendar only relies on two. Let's just keep it simple.
If Brad Nowell, the lead singer of Sublime, had not yet died, would Sublime still be putting out good music? Or did he go out at their peak?
Dunno Sublime... *le gasp!*
Favorite chill spot
Big easy chair near a lamp, heating pad, cold drink, TV controls, and outlet for the iPad...oh, and a Cat.
DID Han shoot first??
Depends on what version you watched. I say yes personally - for Greedo to miss at point blank range gives bounty hunters a bad name...
It's flu season! Are you getting a flu vaccination?
No. I do work for the company that makes the vaccine. Which it is just a cocktail of previous flu's. I get sick from the shots more often than outside.
What kind of futuristic item you cant wait to have?
I want a hover car that drives itself. That may be a stretch, but the self-driving cars might happen in this lifetime, so here's hoping for that.
What's the one toy that you had as a kid that you would love to have back and pass to your own kids (or the toy that you already did)?
The Barbie design sketch thingee. I have no idea what it's really called, but you put exchangeable plates into a template, one each for hairstyle/head, shoulders, one for "top" to the waist, one from waist to knees, and one from knees to feet/shoes. Once your selections were in place, you put paper over the plates and made a rubbing using the included graphite block.
If you were a budding fashion designer, it was just the thing to give you ideas. :)
What food from your childhood can you still taste, just by thinking about it?
My grandpaws pecan pie that he made only during Thankgiving and Christmas . Everyone wanted the recipe but he efused to give it to anyone

Too many to list, though I'm partial to newer Mustangs.
What would your Indian name be? ;)
Sleeps On Bar
Why did Cato the Younger kill himself?
He refused to live in a world where Ceasar triumphed and retained his power illegitimately. (Cato's son-in-law Brutus was one of Caesar's eventual assassins.)
What was Cato most remembered for?
Cato was a great statesman that was pretty much unbribable. Kato, on the other hand, knew martial arts and helped the Green Hornet fight crime.
What would your superhero power be?
Power of flight.....we fat guys dont fit really well in tiny airline seats.
Did you make your bed this morning?
Never. I just lay on top of my sheets.Quote:
