I want everyone who reads this to ask me 3 questions, no more no less. Ask me anything you want. Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends (including myself) to ask you anything.

1. If you could be an expert in/on anything, what would it be?

2. You enter a 10x10 room. There is an orc. The orc has a pie. You are hungry. What do you do?

3. Do you think there is life in the universe apart from on Earth? How about intelligent life? Why do you think this (if there is a reason)?

1. OK, this needs to get two answers. My knee-jerk response would probably be superstition, mythology, and the occult, which quite a fascinating subject, what with witches and faeries and gods and such. In all practicality, what I think I may well pursue as my master work is Computer Security and/or Artificial Intelligence.

2. The orc physically has the pie? As in, he's holding it? I suppose, right off, I would ask him, "Are you going to eat that?" If there is resistance, I'd wrestle it away from him with my bear hand. I got a varsity letter in highschool for orc-wrestling, you know.

3. If you're talking about extraterrestrial life as in ET or Spock or something like that... A piece of me wants to say yes, but I don't really believe it. I'm not even really sure why -- you could argue it either way -- I just don't believe in aliens. Well... No, I was going to say 'intelligent' aliens, but even non-sentient life doesn't seem believable to me, I guess.

1. Do you currently investigate and/or program AI?

2. Yes, the orc physically has the pie. The orc looks at you defensively and moves the pie away from you...protecting it. What do you do?

3. *nod* good enough! :D

1. Only tangentially -- I don't know where to look, aside from maybe picking up a book by that Hawking guy... I'm an undergraduate at a school who's CompSci department is, well, sub-par, so...

2. Hey now, if I wanted a Message Board RP, I'd run over with White-Wolf.com or something... I climb on his back and put him in a neck-hold.  :p

3. Now, see, if we were to discuss the non-existence of, say, faeries, I may have my doubts, and certainly I believe in angels, though whether they would be considered 'life' is a matter of definition...
