'Would You Rather 'Wednesday

I found a new fun blog and it had this:

To follow are three questions. There is obviously no correct answer, but one option was usually preferred over the other. I will give you which one and the percentage it was chosen by… after you answer in the comment section. Go on, be brave and put your answers out there!

#1 Would You Rather…
Be one of ten engineers who design a bridge that one day collapses, resulting in 100 fatalities
OR
Be the only engineer of a bridge that one day collapses, resulting in one fatality?

Oh, goodness. Is this Chinese torture? Yikes.

On this first torturous question, I will have to go with Option B. I would be black-balled from engineering - especially bridges - but I'll have left behind 99 living people. It would not be right to kill 99 more in the hopes that maybe I did not directly make the bungling move that killed them. Scary.

#2 Would You Rather…
Count all the grains of sand in a sand castle
OR
Count all the eye droppers full of water in an Olympic-sized swimming pool?

I suppose answering neither is the chicken way out and not very sporting. So, pretending that the fate of the world hangs in the balance if I don't do one... I will go with Option B. Sand is too small and my chances of making a mistake exponentially higher than the Olympic pool sized container... Ugh. It will take me most of my lifetime to do it... I'm 40 already...

#3 Would You Rather…
Develop the worst case of acne ever on record
OR
Have your spouse suffer with it?

This is a no brainer. I would hate it, but I would do it. What the hell is my husband going to do with an outbreak acne?! He'd make an awful mess, somehow, something he does with great frevor anyway! No, I'd have to do it. And then spend a ton of money, in $30 increments (my copay for doctor visits) to get this fixed.

How annoying...

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really fair that she’s up for a MasterChef win aft

A.W.A.D. - 14-Letter Words, 14-Letter Definitions

Back in 1994, when I founded Wordsmith.org on a Pi Day (March 14), I had no idea that one day we'd be celebrating its quadridecennial. Here's what the last 14 years look in numbers: So far we have sent out 3,782 unique words and 297 AWADmail compilations to 640,000 present subscribers in 200 countries, that is more than 1.6 billion pieces of email. Well, this week we're seeing all things 14. We'll feature words that are 14 letters long, and define each of them in 14 letters. acritochromacy (uh-KRIT-o-kro-muh-see) noun Color blindness. [From Greek akritos (undistinguishing) + chroma (color).] tintinnabulate (tin-ti-NAB-yuh-layt) verb intr. To ring; to tinkle. [From Latin tintinnabulum (bell), from tintinnare (to jingle).] tinctumutation (tinkt-myoo-TAY-shuhn) noun Change of colour. [From Latin tinctus (a dyeing) + mutation (changing).] Brobdingnagian (brob-ding-NAG-ee-uhn) adjective Of gigantic size. [After Brobdingnag, the fictional region where everything was enormous

An Interesting Wife Swap...

Image
I'm catching up on our Wife Swap recordings. I'm watching the epiode Burroughs/Padovan-Hickman one that aired on 17 April 2009. The one I watched just before was really quite satisfying - the families both learned a lot and seemed to really take it to heart. This one, however, is back to the familiar mold of putting families that are so totally diametrically opposite families together that they almost can't get along. This is interesting, though, because the Padovan-Hickmans have electricity but don't use it, don't flush often, go for a week without showering and then the whole family uses the same bathwater... I can see where that would be hard, especially for me in that I have very oily skin and hair and would look rather wretched after the next day. But the family themselves are very likable and fun, the father looks more like a kindly grandfather, but really is quite intelligent and pleasant. I would have trouble with the clean thing and I'd miss my iPod
