Wednesday Weird Ones (dead link, 11/29/06)

1. Which is cooler: robots or giant monsters? Why?
Although I like robots or, droids, giant monsters are cooler because they’re actual life forms, which makes them all the more fascinating. Who knows? Maybe some of them have evolved into humans!

2. If for some reason you needed to throw a porcupine, how would would you go about doing it? If you threw the porcupine agianst a wall would it stick better than a jellyfish would if it was thrown from the same distance?
I don’t like the idea of throwing a porpucine–it would make feel really bad. But if I absolutely had to, I’d wrap it up in a thick blanket and throw the porcupine, blanket and all.

A jellyfish is more likely to stick to a wall upon which it’s thrown because of its body’s gelatinous composition. Whereas, a porcupine’s needles might have a more difficult time adhering to most hard surfaces, unless, of course, the wall is made of cork–like a giant dart board.

3. Until the unfortunate twist, didn’t you think that Hansel and Gretel were quite ingenious for making a trail back home only out of bread crumbs? What would you have made the trail out of?
Leaving a trail is ingenious, yes, but a trail of bread crumbs was a bad idea. If it were me, I’d leave something inedible, such as fist-sized rocks.

4. Of what item in your grocery store’s freezer section are you most afraid? How about in the fresh produce section?
Cuts of meat that are “exotic,” like beef hearts and kidneys. Basically stuff I wouldn’t eat.

5. How much do you enjoy blogging in cubic joules per meter seconds squared?
Huh?
