Do you watch Jeopardy?

I used to every night, but now only occasionally. I almost got on the show once for the college tournament.

Do you watch Wheel of Fortune?

No, the greed some of them get infected with is too depressing; the answer is obvious, but they have to spin just oooonnneee mmmmooorrreee time.

Do you think it's OK to paint over wood, or are you a wood purist?

I am a wood purist - preferably still alive in tree form
Srsly unpainted wood is more warm in a room than cold paint.

Don't you bring your paint NEAR my wood floors. I've seen some that looked nice in magazines but I don't know what kind of wood that was. Mine are bamboo and no paint on bamboo.

I have neither a tree nor presents.

How Much of the Chinese Population Will Be Living in Cities in 2040?

I am going to guess 70, maybe more, They are trashing their country fast, so I think most of China will be a toxic place in 25 years. They will either be subsisting on something futuristic, like cultured yeast foods, or importing everything. That or famine.

Looking at 5 objects within 5 feet of where you are sitting (or standing) right now, how many were made in the country in which you live?

Not more than 1 (one).

Just imagine the average girl (lets say 18, healthy, average height & weight) suffered a wound to the umbilical/hypogastric "region" of the stomach.

This wound was caused by a sterilised Sashimi knife (which is long and thin with a very sharp edge) and is about 3-4 inches in length.

Approximately, how deep would it have to be to be fatal?

And what if a traditional Chef's Knife (thicker than a Sashimi knife, with a slightly duller edge) was used - would the answer be different?

I would think the thicker duller knife would do more damage, tearing perhaps, not cutting as cleanly, also the bigger the knofe, the higher the likelihood that something vital is hit. The cleaner wound would be easier to fix if an organ was hit and if she survived. And a straight cut in that region could go the full 4" and not be fatal, it really depends on more variables, and on whether or not she can get to the doctor within minutes or hours, or never.

Daffy Duck or Donald Duck?

Daffy! Duck Dodger ftw!

What is the best thing about the holidays in your opinion?

The profusion of cranberry and cranberry-flavored sundries.

What do you want for Christmas?

I asked for some pecan oil, I think I will probably get that. I'm such a practical person that people love to give me non-practical things like smelly candles and bubble bath and skin smoothies and I LOVE those. I think I asked my dad for mongoose-related things. My very own Ron Swanson sent me an amazing Leslie Knope print.

I once had an ex-boyfriend give me a box of used bandages on our anniversary. Or maybe Valentine's - what's the worst present you've ever received?

When I was young I used to think socks were an awful gift, but now they really make me happy

Would you believe me if i told you that I looked for animals representative of TS members when I saw animal figures at the store?

Yes I would because I was playing with a stuffed llama in the store just this weekend.
