  1. A simple solution: The Battle Dog.
  2. I've never owned a firearm. I do have some swords, though. But I also have dogs. I really don't worry much.
  3. I refuse to be arbitrarily constrained. It's intolerable to my current intelligence.
  4. As a general rule, I'm a big believer in tolerance. What I find hardest to swallow are my own failings. To that end, were I to receive a stat boost, Wisdom would be my choice.
  5. Tough choice. On the one hand, constant debilitating pain makes it hard to focus on intellectual pursuits, and as the rest of the body fails, so does the brain. On the other hand, Stephen Hawking. Not sure I have an answer.
  6. I'll consider it progress when our elected officials put the same level of effort into keeping citizens from slaughtering one another that they do peering into their bedrooms and making it difficult for some of them to vote. Maybe a tax to provide Kevlar vests for teachers and kids in school would be a place to start. We can call it 'the pro-life tax.' That should be an easy sell.
  7. Billy Martin. Oh, wait, he's dead.
  8. https://www.ligo.caltech.edu/news/ligo20160211 This is smokin' hot.
  9. Maybe they meet up with Nessie, Sasquatch, and the guy with no past (who turns out to be Elvis).
  10. Clearly, I'm jaded. The Moon just doesn't do it for me any more.
  11. If I were 20 years younger, perhaps. For Mars, Titan, or Enceladus, I might reconsider.
  12. Tough choice. 10 minutes isn't really enough to justify pulling the G's from the flight, and 2000/month goes less far in Europe than I'd like. Still, I have people I know in Europe to visit, so the year it is. Maybe I can figure out a business to I can stay. Or talk to Branson about a job.
  13. The fun thing about freedom is deciding when my freedom limits your freedom, and vice versa. It's the main reason we have rule of law in the first place, and why citizens and governments enter into social contracts.
  14. We must all feel his noodly appendage. And talk like pirates.
  15. Case closed.
  16. Pizza is okay once in a while. Mostly I'd eat Thai, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese foods every day if I could. Life was great when we had a Vietnamese student as a renter, and she loved to cook.
  17. I'd start with "New York Times today purchased by National Enquirer."
  18. Wait until you get to watch Torchwood: Miracle Day.
  19. Were I to find myself actually immortal the notion of interstellar travel suddenly becomes intriguing. Kepler 425b here I come.
  20. The big tip-off would be when the guys with swords shouting "There can be only one!" turn up. Since I probably lose that fight I don't think I make it much past 80.
  21. I give a slight edge to Team Captain America over Team Iron Man. But seriously, it looks like Denver showed up to play, and Carolina showed up to read their press releases.
  22. It certainly doesn't compare to The Martian as a comedy.
  23. Bet you knew this was coming.
  24. By the way, maybe we can consign this back to the 19th century where it belongs. 'The phrase "survival of the fittest" is not generally used by modern biologists as the term does not accurately describe the mechanism of natural selection as biologists conceive it. Natural selection is differential reproduction (not just survival) and the object of scientific study is usually differential reproduction resulting from traits that have a genetic basis under the circumstances in which the organism finds itself, which is called fitness, but in a technical sense which is quite different from the common meaning of the word.'
