I found this on Azure Heights, a forum that I visit regularly. These are an assorted group of interesting questions that, if you have plenty of time to waste, you can have some enjoyment answering. I found this to be a rather neat idea, and it gives people an idea of your aspect on things.
It's quite simple, you reply to all of these questions with your own answers. You don't have to answer all of them, though, if you'd rather not. Some of these can be very brain-busting, heh.
Note: Last few questions are followed up in reply. It seems that this forum can't support more a large amount of characters.
1.) Would you rather date a woman/man whom you were immensely attracted to but could never have any physical contact with other than holding hands, hugging or date a girl/boy of slightly less than average attractiveness to you who instigates orgies and threesomes for the two of you? What if former was really cool and fun to hang out with? What if the latter was instead?
2.) Would you rather move to the most northern part of Alaska in a town of 5,000 people for two years and get paid $100,000 for it afterwards or move to Nogales, Mexico for one year and $10,000? In both cases you would not be allowed to return to the continental US (or Hawaii or Alaska or any of the colonies) during the allotted time.
3.) Would you rather own the patent to a process for cold fusion without having discovered the process yourself or be credited with its discovery but receive no money *from anybody* (not even book deals, exposes, interviews, awards, etc.) as reward other than historical commemoration?
4.) One night you and your nerdy buddy Dr. Nedward (of the same sex as you) are exiting from a bar via the alley space aliens descend and invite you (not Nedward) to their utopian binary star system 2 parsecs away on the condition that you can never return to Earth. You eagerly accept. But the aliens say that you *must* choose a companion. Your scientist friend Nedward would be able to document your journies with this new alien race and transmit his annals of your amazing diplomacy and discoveries back to earth immortalizing you forever. Suddenly a *gorgeous* member of the opposite sex stumbles through the bar door into the alley alongside you. Do you choose Nedward or the hottie? Their acceptance is of no concern to the aliens who can overpower any resistance either may offer. The space ship leaves in 30 seconds.
5.) Would you rather lie to your spouse by convincing them that you have been having an affair (when you actually have not) possibly resulting in divorce or lose at everthing (monoply, gambling, bets, sports games, video games etc. This also affects other non-game-related things, like the chance to get laid off if the company is "downsizing", who gets drafted first, who gets robbed, stuff like that) for seven years? Your spouse would be in a state of such sadness and anger that an explaination on your part of "just kidding" would *never* be believed. From henceforth things would have to be dealt with under the understanding that you had cheated on her.
6.) Would you rather let 5 of your co-workers take pictures of you mother having sex with two strangers or take the pictures yourself? The pictures would have to be framed well and in focus while shooting.
7.) Would you rather be released 100 meters away from two 12 foot Great white sharks in the ocean with a knife and ten gallons of human blood spilled all around you and the beach shore ten feet *beyond* the sharks or have both of your left pinky toe surgically removed? There is no current and the sea is calm.
8.) Would you rather be Indiana Jones' teaching assistant at Barnett College or James Bond's driver to and from the airport? Doctor Jones is seldom on campus and Mr. Bond is not one for idle chit chat with men of lesser standing to and from his SR-71.
9.) Would you rather be marooned on an abandoned Russian naval base on a desert island (100 square miles) some where in the South Pacific with plenty of canned food, water and supplies to survive in solitude for 5 years or have drastic, permanent full body plastic surgery altering your appearance and making you unrecognizeable to even your closest friends-- however not by definition an improvement .
10.)Your name is Damien Twilight. You are an eccentric Scientist. You are altering your genes to give you praeternatural animalistic abilites. You can only splice your DNA with three other organisms without killing yourself. These following organisms available to you each have benefits and weaknesses, none affect your appearance unless specifically stated.
Bat -- Echolocation, enhances hearing 10,000% (or drastically, whichever works for you), intelligence +10%, -- eyesight reduced 10%, physical stature/physical strength diminshed 15%. Nocturnal by nature.
Pit Viper -- Ability to secrete fatal dosages of venom through teeth, can "see"/sense heat changes, sense of hearing, taste, touch, smell increased 50% -- lowers metabolism and blood temperature 50%, eyesight lowered 30%.
Hummingbird -- Metabolism, energy level, reaction speed, movement speed x5 -- must eat 1/10 body weight in food per day, lifespan reduced 15%.
Gecko -- ability to stick to all surfaces including glass using microscopic hairs on hands and feet, eyesight x2, hearing +50% -- metabolism and energy level partially regulated by temperature (+30% to -50%).
Eagle -- vision enhanced x 10, gain wings, tail, and ability to fly -- bones are hollowed, weight and size decreased to compensate for the ability to fly.
Horse -- physical endurance x 4, movement speed increased x2, physical strength +20%, male genital size very much enlarged -- harbor at least one major mental illness.
Cockroach -- *extreme* resistance to temperature, radiation, toxins, disease and harsh environs, smell increased 50%, lifespan +5% -- hearing, taste, and vision decreased 20%.
Vine -- 60% of energy comes from photosynthesis, +20% lifespan -- energy level directly proportionate to amount of sunshine exposed to.
Shark -- Immunity to cancer, AIDS and all other human diseases, smell +50%, physical strength +20% -- always extremely hungry and restless.
Tortoise -- lifespan x 1.7 -- speed of movement, reaction speed, metabolism rate decreased 50%.
Chili pepper -- "hot blood" makes you loathesome to all biting insects (ticks, mosquitoes, flies), increased oxygen carrying hemoglobin means your body has more oxygen utilization i.e. you're more physically fit -- unable to receive blood from any donors.
Octopus -- intelligence x 2, ability to change skin color/patterns instantly to match desired surroundings, regeneration of limbs-- lifespan decreased 50%.
Bearing in mind their respective advantages and disadvantages, which organisms would you choose? Some Combinations appear disadvantageous.
11.) You are Zachary Banestorm, the pilot for the first human manned space expedition to Mars. As your two astronaut team members Silvia and Barry are exploring the planet you stay at the ship to get things ready for take off. Suddenly 200 meters away Silvia appears hurrying quickly towards the ship waving her arms frantically. Behind a crested Boulder 30 feet beyond her and twenty feet above, the maw of a giant spider emerges. Silvia is hurrying towards the ship and staying in front of the pursuing spider which is dragging what looks to be the body of Barry in a webbed sack beneath it's thorax. You estimate that Silvia will reach the ship no more than 10 seconds before the spider does. But Silvia is 150 meters away from the ship. With launch sequence already prepared would you rather escape Mars and leave Silvia to fend for herself, failing the mission or stay and try to save both of you? That Web that the spider has Barry wrapped up in looks pretty serious. That spider must be 20 feet tall.
12.) Would you rather be tied to a post in an obscure back alley some where in New York City with $10,000 of your own money/family's money in $100 bills visually strapped to your clothed body and your hands and legs cuffed and your eyes blind folded for 24 hours, or be forced to lose a total of $20,000 at a Casino in Vegas (this means that it is possible to WIN as much as you are able but you have to keep gambling *until* a total of 20,000 of your own money has been lost via gambling)?
13.) If you or your wife gave birth to a severly disabled child with three arms, one and a half heads, and one leg, but otherwise perfectly healthy would you keep it and love it, give it up for adoption or let the hospital handle it and never look at it again?
14.) You are Captain Amazing -- the world's most loved super hero. Your true identity is hidden by a glittering turquoise mask which is universally recognized and honored as the iconic representation of truth and justice. After 20 years saving the world your powers have diminished forcing you to retire. Your true identity is Clarence Goolé, a middle class simpleton who picks oranges in Florida. At the President's farewell assembly honoring you in your retirement you are asked if you would like to make a speech in recognition of the people's appreciation of you. The crowd of 400,000 people are chanting for you to take off your mask and show them who Captain amazing is. This could make Clarence Goolé very rich and famous, or it could mar the reputation of Captain amazing by making him seem nothing more than a has-been fruit picker. Do you take off your mask and live comfortably off of the funds donated to you by the people you saved, or fly away into the sunset one last time forever keeping Captain amazing an immortalized mystery in the hearts of people everywhere (and living off of your fruit picking salary)?
