15 random, random questions to keep you going throught the night.

[Random_Australian]

I will respond to this with my own answers, below. I didn't want to clog up the OP.

1) Are you listening to any music now? If so, what?

2) If you were to run into a large, tame lion, (and you knew it was tame), what would you do? Run away anyway, or give it a scratch? (or other)

3) If there was a flaming goat standing on it's hind legs (and completely ok with the fire) in the middle of your street, what would you do?

4) If you could enrol (and succeed at) and complete an entire university degree overnight (and you learnt it as if you had spent 4 years at it), what degree would you choose? (Any Bachelor, Masters, or PhD is fine)

5) How much of your time at DU do you spend in the Lounge?

6) Do you like self-referential humour?

7) Don't you think anyone who posts in the Lounge is lame? :) ;)

8) How often do your arguments with people get heated? (as in, LOUD!)

9) What are the first three things that you think of when I type: "Outside"

10) Ever broke a bone?

11) Are you a more rational, or a more emotional person? (Or other)

12) Re-arrange these ages from 'happiest' to 'saddest': 8, 16, 20, 24, 28, 36, 42, 50, 60, 70, 80

(eg a 30-yo DU'er who was happy as a child and an adult but not a teen might say "8, 28, 24, 20, 16"

13) Do you think anyone with comic-book superpowers - even in a more mild form - will exist in the future? (As in, FAR in the future. Of course you don't know. Take a guess!)

14) How tired are you right now?

15) How are you feeling right now?

1. Random_Australian!

1) Are you listening to any music now? If so, what? Yup, Pink Floyd, "Us and Them"

2) If you were to run into a large, tame lion, (and you knew it was tame), what would you do? Run away anyway, or give it a scratch? (or other) Give it a scratch. You don't meet tame lions every day - why miss the opportunity?

3) If there was a flaming goat standing on it's hind legs (and completely ok with the fire) in the middle of your street, what would you do? Ignore it. It seems perfectly happy as it is.

4) If you could enrol (and succeed at) and complete an entire university degree overnight (and you learnt it as if you had spent 4 years at it), what degree would you choose? (Any Bachelor, Masters, or PhD is fine) I think I would like a PhD in quantum physics.

5) How much of your time at DU do you spend in the Lounge? Awwwwww, nearly a half.

6) Do you like self-referential humour? Yup!

7) Don't you think anyone who posts in the Lounge is lame? :) ;) Psh! Silly you!

8) How often do your arguments with people get heated? (as in, LOUD!) Nope

9) What are the first three things that you think of when I type: "Outside" Light, grass, pain.

(To all you DU'ers, pain because my eyes mean things can easily be to bright for them)

10) Ever broke a bone? Nope.

11) Are you a more rational, or a more emotional person? (Or other) Rational. Very, very rational. I define morality by mathematics, I'm that rational.

12) Re-arrange these ages from 'happiest' to 'saddest': 8, 16, 20, 24, 28, 36, 42, 50, 60, 70, 80 8, 16. My teen years sucked.

13) Do you think anyone with comic-book superpowers - even in a more mild form - will exist in the future? (As in, FAR in the future. Of course you don't know. Take a guess!) Hell - I'll allow myself to laugh at myself for a moment and say: hell, why not? That would be great.

14) How tired are you right now? Pretty tired!

15) How are you feeling right now? My head hurts. A lot. Other than that I am fine.

4. Is ANYONE going to run away from the lion? :)

And I'd laugh if the goat were making a valid philosophical point.

[MissHoneychurch]

6. Why would you run away from a tame lion???

makes no sense.

If that goat was starting to talk I rather stay away from it even more. I can't really argue about philosophical topics.

[Random_Australian]

7. Well, it could be making a point about how it can't speak but it can

communicate.

And people run away from lions because it triggers heuristics. (Mind you, it does wonders for us in the wild)

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. My answers:

6) Do you like self-referential humour? Sure. Why not?

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. I love!

:hug: :loveya: And I really appreciate. It's good to see you posting again RA. :D

[Random_Australian]

12. Yep, I'm back posting. Except for that other night -

when I told everyone that I had been incapacitated and my eyebrow was doing my typing for me.

:D That was a fun evening.

And what could be better than this smiling little chap:-------> :D

Hope things work out with the shoulder MrsG.

13. Answers

1) Are you listening to any music now? If so, what?

No. But I ought to plug a Nina Postolovskaya CD in.

2) If you were to run into a large, tame lion, (and you knew it was tame), what would you do? Run away anyway, or give it a scratch? (or other)

Let it sniff me, decide that I'm OK, and then give it a scratch. But only for a short time; I'm allergic to cats!

3) If there was a flaming goat standing on it's hind legs (and completely ok with the fire) in the middle of your street, what would you do?

I'd say, "Holy shit, there's a goat on fire standing on its hind legs in the middle of the street!"

4) If you could enrol (and succeed at) and complete an entire university degree overnight (and you learnt it as if you had spent 4 years at it), what degree would you choose? (Any Bachelor, Masters, or PhD is fine)

A PhD in Korean. I've got some good friends from S. Korea and would love to converse with them in their language.

5) How much of your time at DU do you spend in the Lounge?

After a pleasant morning, I'd have to say not nearly enough.

6) Do you like self-referential humour?

If you mean self-effacing, I'm not sure. I'm good at it, and I like making people laugh, but sometimes it makes me a little sad.

7) Don't you think anyone who posts in the Lounge is lame?

Nice reference to #6, and no.

8) How often do your arguments with people get heated? (as in, LOUD!)

Hardly ever. I try to get to the root of the argument and solve it. I don't like heated arguments because I have a massive fight or flight reflex and I don't like feeling that way. I do get heated when I think someone's taking advantage of me.

9) What are the first three things that you think of when I type: "Outside"

a) trees
b) Muir Woods
c) a river

10) Ever broke a bone?

Surprisingly enough, no.

11) Are you a more rational, or a more emotional person? (Or other) It depends on the situation.

12) Re-arrange these ages from 'happiest' to 'saddest': 8, 16, 20, 24, 28, 36, 42, 50, 60, 70, 80

8, 36, 28, 24, 20, 16

I loved life as a child. Middle school and adolescence were torture. I didn't like high school that much. Life has steadily improved since.

13) Do you think anyone with comic-book superpowers - even in a more mild form - will exist in the future? (As in, FAR in the future. Of course you don't know. Take a guess!)

Yes, I do. I think that in the next century, someone will make a "six million dollar man" with heightened senses, accelerated healing, and increased muscle/bone density. I just hope it's not the military.

14) How tired are you right now?

Very.

15) How are you feeling right now?

Tired but pretty much content.

[Random_Australian]

14. Ha! You appear to be the first person to get the #6 reference.

Awesome! :D

[hyphenate]

16. My answers

1) Are you listening to any music now? If so, what?

Nope

2) If you were to run into a large, tame lion, (and you knew it was tame), what would you do? Run away anyway, or give it a scratch? (or other)

I wouldn't just scratch it, I would give it a big hug! Interesting that you chose a lion, thinking about Aslan and CS Lewis's Jesus allegory

3) If there was a flaming goat standing on it's hind legs (and completely ok with the fire) in the middle of your street, what would you do?

Since in some faiths, the devil is depicted as a goat, I would point the goat to the direction of Washington, D.C. and tell it that its two biggest fans are there if he wants to look them up

4) If you could enrol (and succeed at) and complete an entire university degree overnight (and you learnt it as if you had spent 4 years at it), what degree would you choose? (Any Bachelor, Masters, or PhD is fine)

Mass communications or a science degree, like geology or chemistry

5) How much of your time at DU do you spend in the Lounge?

Not very much overall

6) Do you like self-referential humour?

sometimes, but other times when I'm not feeling very humorous, I find it a drag

7) Don't you think anyone who posts in the Lounge is lame?

8) How often do your arguments with people get heated? (as in, LOUD!)

Not very often

9) What are the first three things that you think of when I type: "Outside"

fresh air spring

10) Ever broke a bone?

toe

11) Are you a more rational, or a more emotional person? (Or other)

emotional

12) Re-arrange these ages from 'happiest' to 'saddest': 8, 16, 20, 24, 28, 36, 42, 50, 60, 70, 80

I decline to answer right now until I have thought about it more-------

(eg a 30-yo DU'er who was happy as a child and an adult but not a teen might say "8, 28, 24, 20, 16"

13) Do you think anyone with comic-book superpowers - even in a more mild form - will exist in the future? (As in, FAR in the future. Of course you don't know. Take a guess!)

possible, but unless it was available for everyone, it would smack of eugenics

14) How tired are you right now?

very--not much sleep

15) How are you feeling right now?

[TOhioLiberal]

2) If you were to run into a large, tame lion, (and you knew it was tame), what would you do? Run away anyway, or give it a scratch? (or other)
I'd give him a scratch. After all, he's just a big Kitty isn't he?

3) If there was a flaming goat standing on it's hind legs (and completely ok with the fire) in the middle of your street, what would you do?
Toast some marshmallows.

4) If you could enrol (and succeed at) and complete an entire university degree overnight (and you learnt it as if you had spent 4 years at it), what degree would you choose? (Any Bachelor, Masters, or PhD is fine)
Computer Science

5) How much of your time at DU do you spend in the Lounge?
95% at least. I'm a lounge lizard.

6) Do you like self-referential humour?
Is that where you make jokes at your own expense? (I'm just dumb like that) All the time.

7) Don't you think anyone who posts in the Lounge is lame? :) ;)
No, but I think that most people's civility has been left at the door.

Not often.

9) What are the first three things that you think of when I type: "Outside"
Sunshine, birds, spring

12) Re-arrange these ages from 'happiest' to 'saddest': 8, 16, 20, 24, 28, 36, 42, 50, 60, 70, 80
8,20,24,28,36,42,16. High school sucked big time.

(eg a 30-yo DU'er who was happy as a child and an adult but not a teen might say "8, 28, 24, 20, 16"

13) Do you think anyone with comic-book superpowers - even in a more mild form - will exist in the future? (As in, FAR in the future. Of course you don't know. Take a guess!)
I doubt it.

14) How tired are you right now?
pretty tired.

15) How are you feeling right now?
Sad. Got some personal stuff going on.

[YankeyMCC]

18. Alright

1) Are you listening to any music now? Nope

2) If you were to run into a large, tame lion, (and you knew it was tame), what would you do? Run away anyway, or give it a scratch? (or other)
If I really confidently knew it to be tame, meaning accepting of humans touching it, I would definitely, cautiously reach out and pet it.

3) If there was a flaming goat standing on it's hind legs (and completely ok with the fire) in the middle of your street, what would you do?
Take a moment to review what drugs I've taken recently if any then call animal rescue.

4) If you could enrol (and succeed at) and complete an entire university degree overnight (and you learnt it as if you had spent 4 years at it), what degree would you choose? (Any Bachelor, Masters, or PhD is fine)
Environmental Biology

5) How much of your time at DU do you spend in the Lounge?
It varies greatly and unpredictably, usually a couple hours over the course of a day, 10 mins here, 10 mins there

6) Do you like self-referential humour? Sometimes

7) Don't you think anyone who posts in the Lounge is lame? :) ;) I refuse to answer - actually I have no one in mind

8) How often do your arguments with people get heated? (as in, LOUD!) Often

9) What are the first three things that you think of when I type: "Outside" - Mountains, Trees, Moose

10) Ever broke a bone? No

11) Are you a more rational, or a more emotional person? (Or other) Rational

12) Re-arrange these ages from 'happiest' to 'saddest': 8, 16, 20, 24, 28, 36, 42, 50, 60, 70, 80
Crap I can't do that right now. :)

(eg a 30-yo DU'er who was happy as a child and an adult but not a teen might say "8, 28, 24, 20, 16"

13) Do you think anyone with comic-book superpowers - even in a more mild form - will exist in the future? (As in, FAR in the future. Of course you don't know. Take a guess!) If we manage to get through the climate crisis genetics, nanotech and quantum computing could easily lead to technologies that can become integrated with our bodies that could seem like superpowers to us now. Except for forced adaptation to extraterrestrial environments I don't see evolution leading to 'super powers', changes certainly but I'm not sure if they'd seem like superpowers because the adaptations would have no bearing on our current environment and would only be useful in the future environment so no more like superpowers than a camouflage trick of some animals is today.


14) How tired are you right now? Feeling pretty good this morning actually

15) How are you feeling right now? See number 14 :)
