Dream Machine #2...

...if you got a dream machine on your tenth birthday, and you could either use it to control your own dreams, or use it to control the dreams of others (only one person per night, but it wouldn't have to be the same one person every night), and you could never change your mind, which would you choose?

Dream Machine #1...

Without doing research...

When I ask multiple questions...

...in a short time period, are you more likely, less likely, or equally as likely to consider an answer?

What is your favorite sport...

...to watch on TV? How bout in person? What is your favorite sport to participate in?

Is there anything more distracting...


...than the internet? Do you feel that you can be focused when working on a computer attached to the internet?
