Bob Dylan. A lot of people seem to hold him up as the paragon of songwriting brilliance, when to me he seems to be at best 'alright.'

Do you own an Oxford English Dictionary?

No, I don't. I have a couple of Dutch - English ones and vice versa, English - Dutch ones. Other languages as well.

What would be, according to you, the most beautiful word in the English language? (Or the implication of that word maybe)

Aesthetics. The word itself is a nice one to say, I think, and of course since Aesthetics is the philosophy of taste/perception of the beautiful, its implications are beautiful too.

What is your favourite number and why?

1... It's the lonliest number :P
3, 7, and 12 are friendly and familiar, but there is no clear favorite. I don't think I really have one.


What is some interesting place that you can walk to from your residence?

My favorite number is 53615 because it came to me in a dream which seemed like an acid trip (without the drugs.)

No, because I have no need of one and it seems restrictive.

I would become an international naturalist/plant collector.
I doubt that my current lifetime will ever truly afford me that, so that is definitely what I'd do.


What the best application for a roll of duct tape?

What do you feel is the ideal system of economy?

F*ck humanity and let an other specie thrive or is that a bit too harsh. Yeah, it is. I mean I know humans that are kind. Kids as well. Um, compromise? Fencing a la Jurassic Park and all bad folk in the park and all good folk and spectrumi on the other. Let those within the fence figure it out for them selves. Or am I bad folk also? Who decides, whose in, whose out?

Ah, I know. Drawing-pins. Of course.
