1. That happens to me every now and then, but I can't come up with an example right now.
2. The movie "Up" was a big disappointment to me.
3. Yesterday I watched a TV program (Bite Me) in which a guy shows dangerous animals and plants. If they are not too dangerous he lets them bite him. Yesterday he showed a plant that had silica hairs (which is surprising in itself because silicon-based substances are not much used in nature) that were drenched in poison. Touching them would result in instant excruciating pain. The guy touched the plant with a small part of his fingers (he was smart enough not to use his fingertips) and collapsed almost immediately. It was much worse than he expected. The cameraman was really worried about him. The guy was able to remove most of the hairs with a resin that people use to remove unwanted body hair. He had to vomit violently after that.

I like your questions Moriarty so I pass them on to the next person.
