1. Running. I am the hooman greyhound. Faster than a speeding bullet and, when I stop, I melt. I hear the girls find that sexy. Oh yeah, and with my shirt off everyone can see my nipple ring. That's gotta be worth something.

2. Titanic. I love the movie, I love the sets and the amount of work that went into it. I just wish they would stop dredging up the past about the whole thing and let sleeping hulks lie. (and Celine... Bleahhh... that song makes me want to vomit now because I've heard it so much. Clockwork orange, anyone? Hurl. (secretly, I hate Celine because her nose is twice the size of mine. What's up with that?)

3. Gwynne Dyer. It's not surprising. He must be one of your favorite journalists. I tend not to remember mine, because there are so many, and also because Christine Blanchard has jilted me all these years. I mean come on, after Two hundred and seventy three love letters emailed to her you would think I would at least get a restraining order but from Christine and the National Post, nothing. Bastards.

4. Science... I hear it's important, but I never see empiracal proof. Can I read about it on Slashdot, or is it something I should read up on in Wikipedia? Oops. my atomic pile is overheating, 'scuse me. If you don't cook those damn things just right you end up with a crater cake instead of a nice, fluffy chiffon.

5. Cecil Adams. You had a great voice reciting from The Straight Dope on the way back to Calgary from Vancouver all those years ago. Heck, you should do a podcast of nothing but those hallowed insane words just so the rest of the world can hear your voice. I mean, it's one of the more endearing qualities I remember, but then I haven't heard it in a while. You could be all raspy and wheezy now from the binging on Crown Royal and cheap cigarrettes. It's a cordial sin to not have that on your list of interests. Shame.

1) Took awhile for me to get into running. Mostly it was exercise that required little in the way of equipment and could be done solitary. Now of course I love it all the time, except for the hour before I do it.

2) I still like the song. I think this is because I never heard it on the radio.

3) I like that GD is a truly global columnist. His columns could be about anything political anywhere.

4) But is it science or SCIENCE! that you like?

5) I don't have Cecil in my interests? I'm going to correct that right now.

science or SCIENCE!

I never said I liked it. I just wondered if it was importnat. You know, like speel chucking your posts before tosping them. Is it really important?

I personally dislike science. It gets under your fingernails for weeks and, if it's radioactive, your nose glows and people know you've been picking it.

I find that disappointing. Especially since people never tell you and the only way you find out is that you realize you are standing there in a lit bathroom peeing, in the middle of the night and the bathroom light isn't on

Science for some people is like the fact your parents had sex. It's something you suspect happened once or twice, but you really don't want to dwell on it or think about it or know for sure what occurred. You might find out the awkward truth like this guy did
