Weird Meme

So on Halloween I thought we might have a sort of weird-ish meme. Well of course it’s weird, it has 13 questions!

Let’s go …

  1. Can you describe your boobs using only a SFW picture of them?
     

     
  2. If you suddenly found out that your internal monologue for the last week was actually audible, how screwed would you be?
    Totally and utterly fucked, and probably certified.
     
  3. What two totally normal things become really weird if you do them back to back?
    Wanking. Well two of you wanking back-to-back is a bit weird isn’t it? Why wouldn’t you do it face-to-face so you can watch each other?
     
  4. What ridiculous and untrue, yet slightly plausible, theories can you come up with for the cause of common ailments?
    • Dental cavities are caused by the mouth imps mining for pearls.
    • It’s well known that people feel weak when they’re ill. This is because the elastic bands perish. Convalescence is needed to re-vulcanise the elastic.
    • Headaches are caused by a parasite scrubbing limescale off the inside of the skull; migraines happen when they reproduce and the nymphs get out of control like the Sorcerer’s Apprentice.

     

  5. What secret conspiracy would you like to start?
    The one that turns out to be true.
     
  6. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten or drunk?
    Well not really in the weird category, but Retsina probably wins by a short head from Absinthe. Both are absolutely vile.
     
  7. Are aliens real? How do you know?
    Who knows? They’re at least as likely as anything in is of being true! I’ll be surprised if they don’t exist somewhere in the universe, but we’ll likely never know for sure. Indeed can we ever know? See this in New Scientist.
     
  8. What’s your first executive order as king of this third-word country?
    (Re)nationalise all public transport and utilities; make all public transport (bus, train, tram) free; then ban the private car and internal air travel.
     
  9. Do you believe in the paranormal and would you go ghost hunting?
    As a scientist I find it difficult to credit the paranormal but I also know that there are many things we don’t (and maybe never can) understand so I concede that the paranormal is indeed a possibility. And yes, I would go ghost hunting.
     
  10. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve never done but want to?
    See a corpse flower. No, not like that! I means going to see an Amorphophallus titanum in flower.
     
  11. Have you ever been to a séance?
    Yes, we held séances during power cuts when I was a student.
     
  12. Have you ever met a supernatural being?
    Not visibly embodied, but certainly the effects of one – at least twice; once in an old empty house as a child; and again as a post-grad student at a friend’s flat.
     
  13. Tell us something unusual/weird about yourself.
    I think I exist.
