Crows, of course.

What do you think of the state of Earth's space system, right now? Are we right to cut most of the funding to focus on OUR planet, or should we still be reaching for the stars?

If there is a reason for intelligence to come about at an enormous expense to the being and its home planet, and that can be said for life itself, then I would think it would have to be to escape its preprogrammed demise and to prevent its complete eradication from a random event. Escape from the home planet could be the benchmark in some galactic biological evolution.


Is it more important to look good or feel good?

Feel good, because then looking good doesn't matter.

If you like documentaries, what are your favourite ones about?

I seldom watch TV however if I do documentaries about history or the natural world. I find modern doco's are real pretty to look at but have become somewhat lacking in substance compared with 25 years ago - maybe i am just harder to impress as my catalogue of knowledge is fuller, maybe they are just dumber now though - who knows....

do you read? and if so mainly/only fiction or non fiction?

I split it, fiction rather than TV for entertainment and observations on human existence, dominated by non-genre short fiction. And my non fiction reading is dominated by history, primatology, anthropology, ecology type stuff also motivated by a desire to understand more fully the current paradigm re the natural world and human societies.

same question

I love reading, especially biology and psychology-related nonfiction books. I also love fiction books and series such as Harry Potter, Warriors and Raven Quest.

Same question.

I'm better with a drum set, than I am with a book.

Are you a logic aspie, or a heart aspie?

Why do you want to be a prep cook at Denny's?

That sounds like a pretty miserable job, so the only reason is for money.

What do you want to do today?

um... London is the only one I'm sure of. I was a little kid when we visited the UK. I know we went all over the countryside, but do not recall particulars of our course.

I would attempt to break into a power station and somehow figure out how to keep the grid on. This would save me alot of hassle in the long run because I could freeze food, in turn, giving me a three month window to work out how to produce my own. And loads of other things

what is your favourite band / artist?
