Do you eat your vegetables?
Depends on whether or not they taste like arse
5 places, 5 countries, 5 days - where would you go?
London ---> Paris ---> Berlin ---> Antwerp ---> Luxembourg
Have you ever seen a real pyramid (and I don't mean on a computer!)?
You mean like the kind the Egyptians built way back when...? No, but I will be sunning my backside in the Mexican Mayan peninsula in a couple of week’s time. I may think about making a trip to visit the nearby(?) Mayan ruins.
Do you know what @rse tastes like?
I don't and, to be honest, I've never been curious to know. More into the front side myself.
How many pints of Guinness can you handle before getting sick?
Dunno, never really tried or gave it much thought. I guess it would depend on how quickly I consumed them. I once had a friend chug 3 pints in less than half a minute (seriously) and he was expelling his recently consumed steak and kidney pie onto the floor (along with three pints of Guinness :s ).
How many siblings do you have?
1 sister and 4 brothers.
Do you have a university degree?

Some of it, but there is a lot of crap rap e.g. Soulja Boy
Will Schmenke have his request for the lw thread closure approved by a diktat from the bureau of locksmiths' chief commisar?
If he makes a neat application, I don't see why not.
Do you drink tea? And, if so, how do you have it?
Coffee for me, thanks.
Bath or shower?
Shower, because we don't have a bath any more. Though I would like to take a bath for old time's sake.
Clubs or pubs?
Pubs, there's too many assholes in clubs who have far too much alcohol and cocaine and then wish to engage in bouts of pugilism with anyone who happens to inconvenience them in any way
What is your main consideration when voting in elections? (e.g. past performance, policy)
It starts with their policy. If I agree with their policies, I weigh it against the likelihood of whether or not they will fulfill their promises. Deep down, I don't care too much for politics and generally waste my vote. Perhaps in a few years my view will change.
Do you like American country music?
No, I find in general it's too "fabricated" :s
What's the city with the largest population you've ever visited?
Besides São Paulo (which is my hometown), I think it was Florianópolis.
My question: Pepsi or Coke?
Rarely do I choose either but, because of its higher prominence around here, I'd go for Coke.

I rarely play on the computer except for the odd ocassion when I load up Civiliation III. I play XBox more often.
Xbox or PS3?
PS3, although I may get a XBOX at some point too.
Are corporations people?
Nope.
Do you have any cats?
Nope, no pets.
Do you enjoy the neighbourhood that you live in?
Yes, it's very safe and a lot of good restaurants are nearby.
How many hours a day do you sleep?
I sleep about 7 hours at night. Never have time to take a nap though.
What was the last Sporting Event you went to?
Can't remember :mark: . Likely an NHL hockey game last winter.
Any upcoming holidays?
Not right now too busy, but maybe in November or December :)
When was the last time you laughed until your stomach hurt?
When I saw a comment from Tony Fernandez asking people to give his QPR football team time to get things right because it is taken him 3 years to get Caterham to the level it is at now.
What is the last thing you bought that broke the first time you used it?
A helicopter I got for my son that was made in China...and anything else made in China :angry:
What, for you, constitutes a good time had?
time with family doing whatever we please, without having to worry about time.

A woodchuck is a fabled creature that chucks wood at the Redneck Games to earn spare cash to maintain it's drinking problem and pay for it's many offspring. Oh, and the answer is 1,354,354 pieces of wood.
What is your plan for today?
To think of another question to ask, when I have a few minutes to spare during my work day. And to contemplate how to get my loud, drunk of a neighbour to shut the #*!$ up and let us get some sleep. Oh and to keep looking out of my office window onto the North Taranaki Bight to see if another tornado/waterspout forms today.
How do they get those big ships into those little bottles?
I think they fold the masts flat before inserting through the neck of the bottle, then pull them up with a piece of string.

No. Full of sugar and caffine, tastes disgusting and sends your body on a false high, deep low cycle that is damaging to your health and psychological well being.

We've barely had a summer this year :( .

Do you ever go to the gym or work out at home with free weights etc?
No, although I probably should... :erm: .
What's the method of conveyance of your daily commute; car, bike, bus,...?
By car, love driving. Motorbikes are too dangerous over here and we have no decent public transport anyway so buses are out of the question!
Do you like driving and/or your car or is it just another chore you have to do to get about?
I love driving but my car is just a simple machine that joins point A to point B. So much so that I usually bus to work.
Is there life any where else in the universe?
It would be arrogant to think that we are the only life forms in the universe as large as it is. May not be like us, but there is definitely other life forms out there.
Would you take a return trip to a Mars lunar base if it was offered to you for free?
Nope. A round trip would take upwards of two years. Far too long to be exposed to the many dangers of being outside the protection of Earth's Van Allen belt.
