On a lighter note...

...if someone asks you to pass "the salt" and the salt and pepper are right in front of you, do you pass them both? (this ones for the homies)

Worldwide culture...

...as we become more connected as a planet (with the internet and easy travel and cell phones and world wide business, etc...) will it be possible to hold onto local/regional cultures? If so, what will be the effect of these things on local cultures? Overall, is this good or bad?

Sane and healthy or unstable and brilliant?...

...If you were given a choice, and knew you could be a brilliant artist/writer/scientist/songwriter/whatever but it meant you had bouts with depression and anxiety and addiction, or could be totally healthy and overall very sane but could never quite create anything "brilliant", which would it be? (I DO NOT mean to imply that creativity is intrinsically connected with wreckless lifestyles)

Chocolate...

...with Carmel or with marshmallow?

Skip this one if you are uncomfortable with death...

...what percentage of death in America occurs in a hospital (if you can find the actual percentage online that's fine, but if not, a guess is just as good)? [after a discussion with EM and friends] PART 2: What percentage of people are in pain when they die in America, what percentage is numb (medicated highly or comatose, etc...) , what percentage overall feels pretty fine? (when you are calculating lets 10 minutes prior to death counts, meaning=if someone previously in good health dies immediately in an accident, they count a feeling good, even if they were in a few moments of pain)

Better or worse...

...as a culture for the invention and integration of cell phones?

Why are people...

...so fond of sliding boards? Especially at a young age?

You get to choose one olympic event...

...to win a gold medal, which would it be?

How long could you survive...

...locked in a grocery store? Electricity is on, plumbing stays on, you get an oven, microwave, etc..., but obviously no new supplies. Make sure to consider the food going bad. (Andrew Earl deserves thanks for this one)

Another restaurant question...

...if you were given the option of serving yourself when out to eat, would you do so? (You wouldn't have to tip, but obviously no one would wait on you) "Sometimes" is exceptable if you tell me how often.

If you were a cannibal...

...eating cobbler would mean something totally different than it means to non-cannibals (a cobbler being one who does work with shoes). My friend Ross thought of some good ones including eating "Frank and Beans". Can you think of any other items that may be confusing to a cannibal if on a menu? (strange question I know)

Who is the creepiest sounding...

...person in history? (according to either fact or rumor)("creepy" by whatever definition you give "creepy", though it may be helpful to explain)(examples may include Rasputin, Nostradamus, Jesus, etc...)
