1. Drink honey in warm (not hot, or you'll destroy the healthy stuff) water.
2. See #3.
3. Yes. Mix cocoa with cream and sugar in a cup. (Usually a lot is needed, since some often get eaten before the next step.) Add hot water. Result: Success! (To boil milk with cocoa and sugar also works nicely and is better than those ready mixes.)

1. Don't have to.
2. Don't have to.
3. Well, we've got oceans, so it's no big deal.

1. Why are manhole covers round?
2. You've got someone working for you for seven days and a gold bar to pay them. The gold bar is segmented into seven connected pieces. You must give your worker a piece of gold at the end of every day. If you are only allowed to make two breaks in the gold bar, how do you pay your worker?
3. If you had to choose one, would you rather work at Microsoft or EA?

1. Some people say "because then the metal cover can't fall into the sewer" but that's just a filthy lie. Really it's because it's easier for Ninja Turtles to go down round holes than triangular ones.
2. What the crack-monkey kind of job are they doing that pays a freaking bar of gold a week?!? AND WHY AM I PAYING THEM THAT MUCH FOR IT?!!!?!? Also, who is limiting me to only breaking it twice? I have enough money to pay them off to look the other way, if I'm handing out bars of precious metal for manual labor! Something must be seriously wrong with me. The money has gone to my head.
3. I hear MS has a cool campus where you don't have to ever leave and you can live nicely, so probably there. I here EA has fewer "employees" and more "slaves". Honestly, I want to work at that crazy place that hands out gold bars weekly. That's a pretty sweet place to be.

1. Heart research.

2. Not anymore. I'm so old time can't go any faster.

3. What is this FPS you're talking about?

1. What internet radio stations do you listen to?

2. What do you look for in music?

[Hammerite]

1. I used to listen to Pandora, until it was made impossible to listen to outside of the US.
2. Interesting textures, and if there's a lyricist, then interesting lyrics too. Alas, my taste in music doesn't appeal to a hugely wide range of people.
3. Not much. But music tends to be a common conversation topic.

1. Do you like atmosphere in things you listen to, read, watch, etc.?

1. Pretty darn fast. Especially when you aren't looking.
2. No, as far as I can tell the wind never gets tired.
3. Depends on the scenario. I'd like to live forever in Heaven, and look forward to that one day. I don't think I'd much like living forever on earth, though. I'd probably get tired of it, and I'd miss people if they didn't live forever. If everyone lived forever, I'd get sick of how crowded the planet was. The only way I want to live forever is if the rules change, because this life just isn't meant to last forever.

------------------------------------------

1. Can you learn to play sports from a book?
2. Are you happy about the results of the last Superbowl?
3. If you could live forever, but could never leave your bed again, would you want to? (Noting that you couldn't change your mind later and die.)

[Squinky]

1. I can't. However, I can learn to play video games by reading the manual.
2. I don't even know what the results are. For shame.
3. As much as I would love it if I never had to get out of bed again, I wouldn't subject myself to the punishment of living forever for it.

1. What is heaven?
2. What is hell?
3. What's in your kitchen sink?

[Trumgottist]

1. & 2. I suggest you read some C. S. Lewis if you want my answer. He puts it into words much better than I can. Not his fiction, but the books about Christianity. (I first attempted to write an answer quoting him, since there's a particular theory of his that I like that fit this context, but it got a bit too long, so you get this sort-of-answer instead.)
3. A colander. (Or so my dictionary tells me. I didn't know the English word for durkslag, so I had to look it up.) There is also an unwashed plate, but there is no spoon. I don't know where the spoon ended up after my breakfast.

1. No...
2. Yes...
3. Pretty often. I use the thesaurus all the time, because I love finding new words that mean the same thing as old words. I used to read the dictionary for fun, but to be honest it wasn't much fun, just a little.

I'd be interested in the quote from C.S. Lewis, if you have a link or something.

Sorry, I don't. I can't even say which book I'm thinking of since I've read most of them (it's likely to be Mere Christianity but I'm not certain of it), and if I were to find it, it'd be in Swedish anyway since I have them in translation. I was trying to sum it up from memory, but that got too long for this thread.

Ah well. Thanks anyway!

1. Nope. I normally hate giving one-word answers, but you did ask the question in a way that allows for no other options.
2. See above. I'm really not very well-versed in manga.
3. Hide from the paparazzi.

1. Once upon a time, I sang soprano and could reach high C when warmed up. However, age has taken its toll, and I start to get too squeaky around D or E.
2. I can sing the higher baritone notes, but I don't have a piano to see how low I can go.
3. the alto range

1. I would do something like making sure the things needed to do the play were available. I have been 'famous' at work for a brief few months because I had stumbled upon something that quite a few people found very interesting, and it was the most horrible experience of my professional life. So I will keep my work out of the spotlights whenever possible

2. Architecture

3. None. I don't want to change the story.

1. Would you like to be famous?
