    Yes, I also used to fence in a building with one big glass wall and no AC in the summer. I used to get lessons with just a glove, plastron, mask and weapon to deal with the greenhouse effect.

    Math is an invention by the Ancient Greeks to torture students. Have you ever met a non technical person who can give you a good reason for the existance of the "cosine?"

    Absolutely not. (Which is sad considering I have to spend relatively four hours or so in the mathlab today)

    Why is it that those little personality quizzes you find on the net reflect what you believe and see as yourself but nobody else seems to see it?

    Because they all pick out a few good qualities that people think they have as well as a few difficulties people think they have in very general terms, whereas the people around you have gotten a much better feel for your personality. Why, what did your test say?

    Go check out www.myspace.com/warrior_enigma (though disregard the Tenchi Muyo and ninja quiz). Well, all the quizzes I take pretty much say the same thing over and over again and yet...well, that's true. Dern boxes.

    So what do you think?

    I tried the cowboy/pirate/knight/ninja and got "wandering ninja." Personally, I think pirate or cowboy would fit better, but it wasn't a bad test.

    Absolutely.

    What should the penalty be?

    Yeah, I need to learn my lesson. I'm just a bad apple. Why do I keep forgetting to post new questions?

    Because, being male, you are predisposed to being a problem solver. As such your focus is primarily on providing an answer to the question.

    Do you eat pie and ice cream with a fork or a spoon?

    Fork. Though I have had spoon tendencies from time to time... I should probably try a spork next time.

    No, though I'm very interested.

    What's the weather like right now?

    Cold and windy. Something like when you only want to stay at home with a blanket and a coffee.

    Could you make a coffee for me?
