ekaterinnI'm at work, having done little all day, so I've decided to finish up by answering these interview meme questions sent by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
maybethemoon:
1. Best place in Dublin for a cheeseburger?
I don't eat much beef, but of the places I've been TGIF's was the best. Expensive, but so so good. Though I'm slightly ashamed I stepped into such an American restaurant while in Ireland. ^^;
2. What is the physical makeup of the planet Jupiter?
It is made up of gas and matter, and also dreams and power. For it is a giant, and it will still be here after us humans have destroyed the earth.
3. What was the first song you ever memorised?
The Lady of Shalott (as sung by Lorena McKennitt) was the first song I tried actively to memorise - I didn't find out that it was actually a poem until later. When I was very young, I probably had most of Paul Simon's songs memorised, a feat I'm trying to duplicate now. Me and Julio down by the schoolyard...
4. How long is too long?
Eternity is a beautiful thing, but waiting at the DMV for two hours is hell.
5. Why DID the chicken cross the road?
This is a complicated metaphysical question. Many philosophers have spent their whole lives trying to figure this, while not drinking and getting pissed. (See Monty Python and the Meaning Life re:philosophers, sodded). Nietzsche suggested that the road was dead and the chicken was deluded. Hobbes famously quoted that the road was "nasty, brutish and short" and the chicken was crossing it because of its inherently bad nature. Locke countered that the blank nature of the chicken caused it to cross the road in search of good. And Plato held the hypothesis that the chicken was not crossing the road at all, but held prisoner in a cave watching the shadow of the road. Nowadays, scientists argue that the chicken is genetically predisposed to crossing the road, while fundamentalists insist that the chicken crosses the road in order to be saved by Jesus, amen! The only thing we know for sure that there is a chicken. Now, if you excuse me, I'm off for a drink with Socrates.
Now, as I understand it, y'all can leave me a comment and I'll give you five questions to answer. ^_^
