Okay it’s time for the question game!
Here are the rules… You can ask any question you want, and I will answer it to the best of my abilities. You may ask no more than three questions.
Please be creative. I don’t like questions like, “What’s your favorite food?” Although I would answer that if you asked it. If you can’t think of anything try asking me one about my childhood, one that’s crazy, creative, and/or stupid (I always love those) and one stumper. You don’t have to but yeah, just an idea if you can’t think of any to ask.
Just post your questions in the comments, and I will answer them.
Fire away! :)
Rach on!
All right, let’s see if I can think of any good questions…
1. What’s something that when you see, hear, or smell it you feel inspired?
2. What’s your favorite time of day?
3. If you had to choose between having the career of being a clown for 7 years, or a coal miner for 2, which would you choose, and why?
Okay. Those were lame questions. Ohhhh well :P.
1. There are so many things that inspire me, it’s hard to choose just one, but I always feel inspired when I smell either rain or smoke… They both make me want to do something adventurous and outdoorsy; like climbing mountains, or intense hiking or something like that.
2. My favorite time of day by far is early in the morning… like the hour preceding the sunrise. Unfortunately, I’m usually too lazy to actually get my butt out of bed to actually experience it.
3. This was a really hard choice. I think I would choose the coal miner. As much as I love making people laugh (although many people are scared of clowns… I find that ironic), I think I would be a failure at clowning. As a miner I would expect to come out of it strong and perseverant. Tough choice though.
What’s the meaning of life?
Where is x?
What is the proper way of consuming a cupcake?
The meaning of life is ultimately to please God and to lead others to lead others toward Him… plain and simple. Haha, nice cliche (klitchee) question ;).
x is on every elementary school classroom wall between w and y.
Remove the paper, separate the butt from the top, eat the butt first, then enjoy the top immensely, then chew on the paper for a couple minutes, then spit it out… preferably into a trash can.
Acceptable.
Incorrect; it’s clearly in the question.
Correct; very good. …although I usually skip the chewing the paper part.
B+
1. What passage of scripture is most important to you, and why?
2. If you fought Chuck Norris, how would you beat him?
3. There are 11 balls of exactly equal weight, and one extra ball that is slightly different, (it could be heavier or it could be lighter). If you are given all 12 without being told which is which, how can you find out which ball is the odd one AND if it’s heavier or lighter using nothing but a mass balance (which holds balls on each side) only 3 times?
1. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 has been one of my most favorite passages of scripture for quite a while now. It always reminds me that it doesn’t matter what I’m going through right now in life, God has reasons for everything.
2. I have decided I would first defeat his mind. Every man has a weak spot… I must talk it out of him first. Maybe he was abused as a child, maybe he’s having a heart-splitting affair, I don’t know, but once I have him sitting on the ground in tears, with my arm around his broad and muscular shoulders, then I will take him down… to the pain.
3. This is probably wrong haha because I’m terrible at any problem of this sort, but I would put 6 on each side, take the heavier side, put three on each side, take the heavier side, weigh two, if they’re the same, it’s the one you didn’t weigh, if they aren’t the same then it’s the heavier one. Aaaaannnd I just realized that only works if the odd one is heavier. Yeah… haha I dunno.
1. if you had two children, a boy and a girl, what would you name them?
2. if you could meet one person from any point in history (barring Jesus :) who would it be and why?
3. what’s your favorite place in the world? if you don’t have one, where would you most like to go?
1. To be honest I am so terrible at choosing names, I would be afraid I would ruin their lives with horrible names. If it were a life and death situation where some guy is holding a gun to my head and screaming at me to name these children, I would probably name them something like B and G… simple, and easy to remember which is which. Plus, one letter names are so ghetto. I would know (even though I spell it with three). ;)
2. I had a hard time choosing… I couldn’t decide between Solomon and Rachmaninov, but I do think I would meet up with Rachmaninov. Knowing his music, I would like to know what he was like as a person and what his inspirations were.
3. I think my favorite place in the world right now is at Middle Creek which is this big wildlife reservation near my house… There’s this one spot that’s perfect for looking out over the lake while the sun is rising. It’s beautiful to say the very least. A great place for a cup of hot tea while the cold is freezing your nose off and your watching the sun rise early in the morning.
1) If stem cells are cells that become the entire organism, what are the cells of a plant stem called?
2) True or False: The US Department of Agriculture considers lab rats to be animals.
3) Doughboy or s’more and three reasons why (no cheating and doing the combo).
1. According to Wikipedia, meristems. Frankly, I think they should rename stem cells as ‘cells that become the entire organism’, then they can just call the cells in plant stems stem cells.
2. I really don’t know, but I think I’ll guess false.
3. This is a tough one, but I think I’ll have to go for the doughboy. If you cook it right, it’s crunchy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and just covered in butter and cinnamon. S’mores are good, but I think I would choose the doughboy first.
1) I have no clue if that is correct…we may have to go to the other brother-in-law for an answer.
2) You are correct…somehow lab rats and mice miss the cut on being officially regulated by the animal branch of the USDA (P.S. all birds are not classified as animals there either…basically the USDA isn’t very good at science).
3) I believe we will have to agree to disagree…I believe a s’more gives you the crunch with the gooey….so we are left with only butter and cinnamon as the winner for doughboys and is that really better than chocolate?
1. What’s your favorite flavor of ice cream? I never knew….
2. What are your thoughts on the reality? Are you real? Am I real? (Haha. I had to ask this because of my story I just wrote.)
3. If you were caught in the event horizon of a black hole, how would you escape?
1. Chocolate chip cookie dough, although mint chocolate chip comes in a close second. Sometimes if they don’t put enough cookie dough in it, I’ll choose mint chip anyway, because in my opinion when you get a cone of chocolate chip cookie dough but there’s only like two chunks of cookie dough in the whole thing, it’s sort of a rip off.
2. What you see is real, but there are also a lot of things you don’t see that are also real. In my opinion, it is arrogant to believe that only the material is actually real. That’s pretty much saying that if you can’t see it, it doesn’t exist (try closing your eyes, you may just disappear). As for people who believe nothing is real, that this is only a dream… I honestly don’t know what to say to that actually haha.
3. Seeing as I know the secret to defeating Chuck Norris, and he owns a pet black whole, I must have subliminally found some way to escape it… I just don’t know how.
1. What is your favorite book of all time (excepting the Bible)?
2. What is or was a random hobby of yours that people that know you wouldn’t necessarily know about?
3. How do you create a zombie?
1. The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas… an enrapturing book. Not the abridged one. Abridged books are a sin.
2. Umm… there are a few people I know who know this, but I used to be pretty big into kiteflying. Like hardcore too, with the stunt kites, and fighter kites, etc.. I still do love flying kites, but I never get good wind here at home. It’s a bad place for it.
3. Many describe zombies simply as ‘undead’ but few actually know how these ‘undead’ really came to be. In order to create a legit zombie, you must start with a teenage male who does little but play video games and has no self motivation. You must deprive him of sleep for one week while feeding him nothing but pizza and mountain dew (minimum of 1 liter per day). When the week is over, you must kill him by poisoning his last liter of mountain dew. Then you have to destroy his xbox, playstation, pc, and whatever else he uses for his precious gaming. Throw it all in a pile, pour gasoline all over it, then set it on fire. This will wake him from his death and you will have a zombie on your hands to deal with. There are other ways to create zombies, but none of them are as reliable and sure-fire as this method.
1. If your house was on fire, what would you go back in to save? (or what would you take out with you?)
2. What’s your favorite song?
3. Who is your real life hero (besides Jesus)?
3 1/2. If I lie here, if I just lie here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?
1. My Bible and my piano music in that order… they’re both pretty important to me. If I can save them both I will… I might grab an apple on the way out too if I pass the fruit bowl in my route of escape.
2. It’s such a hard choice, because I love so many, but right now I’d have to say Smile by Uncle Kracker… for a very specific reason.
3. My piano teacher, Mr. Day… He’s such an incredible pianist, so wise, and makes his living helping people learn how to better use the gifts and abilities that God has given them.
3 1/2. Umm… well… I… uhhh….. Since you’re only allowed to ask three questions, I refuse to answer this question!
Tony… did you really just quote that song to Jay?? hahaha, you’re so funny :D.
Why thank you. But what song?
Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol. you *must* have been quoting that song.
1. What color is this? ————————————->
2. Who do you facebook stalk? (Other than the obvious.)
3. WHY DO YOU NOT LIKE PIE CRUST?? You’re so weird.
:)
1. Blue.
2. I don’t really facebook stalk anyone other than the obvious haha… Whatever shows up on my news feed is fair game.
3. You know what they say! ;)
Here is the semi difficult question (if you have not had calculus), it gets easier :)
1. What is the derivative of f(x) = 12x^3 – 13x + 15 ?
2. What was your favorite school class from kindergarden to now?
3. How tall do you wish you were?
1. I have no idea… It’s been a looooong time since I was good at math. ;)
2. Excluding everything music, I would have to say biology. I loved cutting open dead animals and doing my big project on the plague.
3. I actually like how tall I am now. Not too short, not too tall. Maybe one or two inches taller would be nice, but once you start bumping your head on doorways, that’s pushing it.
