Questions from fadethecat. Leave a comment, and I'll ask you questions too!

1) How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood and had a chainsaw and trebuchet available?

200ft³ per hour. He can triple this with a well-trained 4-chuck crew.

2) If any of your characters could meet any of mine... who would you like to see meet, and what do you think would happen?

I would like to see Strange meet Cory Whitely. And I really have no idea what would happen, but I think it'd be funny to watch his reaction to her.

3) Best music for a poingy mood?

Hm. Probably T.M. Revolution.

4) What author should I be reading who I'm not yet?

Well, I don't know who you're reading, so I'll toss out China Miéville and see if he sticks.

5) In the end, there can be only one: parrots or monkeys?

Monkeys. Parrots have flight, but nothing can stop the monkeys' steam-powered bananabots.

Steam... powered... bananabot.

I fear. And am intrigued.

Hit me!

Steam powered bananabot! If only it did not have a fatal weakness to sharks, it would be unstoppable!

1) If you could go back in time and invisibly - such that your hand in the matter would never be seen - exalt any one writer so that his or her name would be known by all humanity, but in order to do this you first had to doom a well-known writer to obscurity, would you? If you would, whom would you exalt, and whom would you obscure?

2) Related to the above: is it more important to be well-known or to be well-appreciated?

3) If a tree falls in the forest, and a family of picnickers is there to hear it, does it make a philosophical point?

4) Jackets or sweaters?

5) It's a bitterly cold and snowy day, and you're walking along the road. You see a car to the side, plowed into a snowbank; its engine is running, and it's obviously warm inside. The driver has given up attempting to drive out of the bank, and is just staying warm, but he offers you no respite from the cold and the falling snow, despite having obviously seen you passing by. Do you offer to help push him out of the bank anyway?

Okay. I think I feel up to playing if you can think of questions to ask me. :)

(And I love your answer to the first question.) :)

Hokay, I vill gif it a try!

1) How much wood could a Malakite chuck if the Malakite had Eli's Choir attunement?

2) On that note: what drew you to In Nomine in the first place? What keeps you in the fandom now?

3) Traditional roller skates or in-line "blades"?

4) It's a warm, sunny spring day, and you're attending an outdoor concert near your house. Who's playing? Who opened for them?

5) If you could choose anyone in the world, living or dead, to write your eulogy, whom would you pick?

But would it not depend on the type of wood the wood chuck would chuck and the chuck the wood chuck was fed, which would chuck the wood chucking rate of the wood chuck would it not? And would not the wood chuck also chuck wood at a different rate, if the wood that the wood chuck chucked would only be required to be chucked no farther than what the wood chuck would consider a short distance?

Especially if you watch Saitoh and Kenshin try to murder each other!!

The figure given is an average, but it does depend on the temperament of the woodchuck. A softwood woodchuck chucking hardwood would chuck less because of the higher weight, but it wouldn't mind; a hardwood woodchuck chucking softwood would chuck less because it would feel compelled to account for the discrepancy in density and would thus waste chucking time at the drawing board.

(Despite persistent rumors to the contrary, woodchucks of any sort have not yet figured out the personal computer, although certain hardwood woodchucks have become quite handy with a graphing calculator.)

Do you not hear that?!
That is the sound of my brain shattering.
