I'm not sure..


Have you ever played any video games even if on a casual or infrequent basis?

I really don't know LOL. I often wonder if animals know more than we think they know. I really should have taken that animal cognition course when I was in college.

We are members of the "Animal Kingdom." That is a fact.

Do you believe humans are actually "animals"? Or should we be placed in a different "kingdom"?

Kazan: I have played Pac Man, Ms. Pac Man, Centipede and Asteroids. All when they first were invented. Oh, and my nephew had Wii Fit so I tried that. Balancing on the game board on one foot was terrible :)

I haven't played any other video games.


Krafts: A different kingdom. Not to imply it's a superior kingdom or that we aren't animals, but humans are clearly so different from regular animals that they need their own taxonomy. I know a few who belong at the bottom of that food chain.

Have you read Frankenstein?

I just passed Chapter 20. He was just released from prison for the murder of his best friend. It's rather difficult reading. The aesthetics of Ireland and other parts of Europe, juxtaposed with the protagonist's mood.

Is there a firm taxonomic category for wolfmen----or does it depend upon the particular wolfman?

Victor was insane, a true antihero if you ask me... I didn't like him at all. The monster was a more sentient being than he.

Wolfmen can be divided into several categories of taxomania depending on their individual characters. Those who excel at higher-order activities like planning, working, reading, sweating and howling are at the top of that group. It's similar to Bloom's Revised Taxonomy. They must be able to create and conjecture to succeed.

What really matters is if the werewolf is from London.

Have you ever howled at the moon?

I believe werewolves and wolfmen are somewhat different, but yes the Londonness would be relevant.

I meow at the moon but I know some howlers.

I used to fear the Moon; I didn't want to provoke it. Nowadays, though, I tend to quietly worship it, rather than howl at it.

Victor was a chap, raised naively and in isolation from discord, who saw some ability in himself, and sought fame for himself. Vaingloriously, he created the Monster.

Do you believe the Moon responds at all to any Howling?

In real life, not really no. Wolves dont actually howl at the moon lol. However, it is fun to do and I think the Moon is beautiful and amazing.

If you were a Greek god, which one would you be?

Probably Icarus. I never learn my lesson about not getting too close to the Sun.

Do you adhere to the notion that the Sun really is merely a "yellow dwarf star"? (I don't----for I am aware of how the Sun gives us Life).

Vaingloriously, but also without any sense of personal accountability. The thing killed everyone he loved and he didn't alert them, even when he was warned about specific incidents.

It was a story about absolute power corrupting, absolutely.

He was quite hapless with his contrition and self-understanding.

Yes, the moon slides o'er the sky blushing and hiding, as Shelley himself described.

What's for lunch?

I actually don't know mythology other than Icarus, so I'd say him too.

I've never heard of the dwarf star reference. That sounds wrong to me.

The sun is considered a "yellow dwarf star," but the term is considered a misnomer by some, with some justification.

I'm probably having chicken and pasta/cheese for lunch.

Victor just did not foresee what he had done----while he was doing it. Basically, he was "in over his head."


Have you ever met a person whose scent matches his/her eyes?

Victor was over his head indeed. It began in an innocuous if not vainglorious way, but it could have resolved so much differently. He couldn't communicate. He seemed like quite the aspie, tbh.

I've met people whose terrible scent matches their evil eyes. Finding a positive correlation is harder, but possible if you search far and wide across the hills and dales.

Ever came across people whom give you not merely a emotional bad feeling but, even a physical unpleasantness?

Yes, often, because I have synaesthesia and the type of empathy where I can pick up people's energy. It can be overwhelming. Sometimes just a person's name can give me negative synaesthesia. It's not like I want this to happen; it's spontaneous. My apologies again to Blabby for getting stressed this morning about a certain letter of the alphabet.
