    All good, but steak and kidney usually -- the most flavourful.

    Heart, tongue or kidney (to eat)?

    Ooo, that's tough, but a good crispy duck is hard to beat.

    Hammer, screwdriver or sander?

    Hammer, there is nothing that cannot be solved by application of hammer.

    Never been to Rome, but between London and Paris, I'll go with London, raging Anglophile that I am.

    Justice - because with it, you can have the other two.

    Democracy, Benevolent Dictator or Monarchy?

    Angel food cake, but I'd rather have that choice of pies you had.

    iPod. I have one and love it. Don't have the other two and don't particular want 'em, either.

    Water, sand or dirt?

    Raisins. I eat 'em by the handful. IME currants are too dry, and grapes are usually hit-or-miss as to taste and consistency.

    1800, 1900 or 2000?

    So... the assassination of Julius Caesar, the deposition of Romulus Augustus or the fall of Constantinople, eh? I'll take 1453, but only because it's closer to the beginning of the Enlightenment.

    1789, 1865 or 1933?

    1933. There may be a Depression on, but at least I won't have to wear a fucking corset.

    Corset, bra, or undershirt?

    Undershirt, aka a vest. I don't think the others would suit me that well.

    Lace, frills or plain?

    Sedan, definitely. And if it's a Jaguar XJS, so much the better: http://www.eppingmotorcompany.com/st...20Blue%202.JPG

    If you must choose: Cold feet, runny nose or scratchy throat?

    Cold feet, as I think that would be the easiest to ignore and power through my day.

    Elf, dwarf, or hobbit?

    Elf. Immortality is cool, as is an open invitation to live with the Valar.

    Orc, troll or Balrog?

    Balrog. The only thing to make Legolas exclaim in fear (and they DO have wings, dammit - it's just that they're vestigial).

    Coffee, tea or water?

    Abseil (or rapelling, as it's known on this side of the pond). I like rock climbing.

    Balrogs wear slippers only in Ralph Bakshi's horrible imagination.

    Theseus, Jason, or Odysseus?

    Odysseus. Read about him a lot in junior high and thought he was pretty cool.

    The Big Lebowski, Blood Simple

    Absentee voting, baby. It super-convenient for people like me who are incredibly lazy, but want to maintain a veneer of civic responsibility.

    Voting, donating blood, or volunteering?

    Voting. Used to regularly give blood but can't anymore because I've spent too much cumulative time in the UK (stupid Red Cross Mad Cow Disease rules, rassinfrassin grumble grumble); I volunteer in several capacities but like voting more.

    Pen, stapler or scissors?

    Yeah, we were the only country stupid enough to admin it exists in our cattle. You don't want to know what goes into American beef.

    scissors *goes running through thread*

    Police, Ambulance or Fire Engine?

    Fire engine. They're big and they have ladders and they squirt water. Fire engines instantly awaken that part of the male cerebellum that never grew past age 5.

    Alfredo, marinara, or meat sauce?

    Chirporactic, I guess. At least getting your back cracked can give some temporary relief.

    Well, I own a four wheel drive - essentially a necessity for driving in Salt Lake Valley in the winter - and no guns, so my life is my answer.

    Physics. I remember one of the freshman science classes I had to take way back when. It was titled "Introduction To Physical Science" or something, and it was one of those survey classes where you get a very shallow introduction to a variety of sciences. I think it's basically meant to bring people who went to high school in certain parts of the country up to a minimum standard before everyone moves along to higher level courses.

    On the first day, the professor introduced himself and told the class that he was a physicist by trade, just teaching a few classes as an adjunct professor for fun. Because of his background, he said, we would be focusing a lot on physics as we went though the various units of the course. I remember a guy in the class raising his hand and asking if the professor was going to just gloss over the biology and chemistry units, and whether or not the professor thought they were equally important.

    In a patient but lecturing tone, the professor said, "It's all physics, man. Chemistry is nothing but applied physics. Biology is nothing but applied chemistry. Zoology and anthrolopogy are nothing but applied biology. Psychology, sociology and even history are just applied anthropology. Whatever science you choose to study, it eventually boils back down to which particles attract or repel which particles, and why." I was instantly in awe of this man.

    Unfortunately, the rest of the course didn't measure up to this august introduction. By way of illustration, the first page of the textbook featured the following earth shattering pronouncement: atoms are very small. However, I've never forgotten that professor's insightful, if slightly simplistic, overview of the sciences.

    Odin, Thor, or Loki?
