I have 10 questions for everyone
Dec 18th, 2021 at 7:25pm
 
These are just 10 randomish questions that I have thought of to ask you all. If you can answer them all, some of them correctly, you get to ask the next 10.

1. Do you have a diary?

2. What is the oldest vehicle that you have driven?

3. Where does my username come from?

4. What is the most dangerous situation that you’ve been in?

5. What is your favorite flavor of pie?

6. How many cockroaches does it take to change a lightbulb?

7. What always comes before thunder?

8. What famous scientist do you think of when you hear the equation E=mc^2

9. In the movie Karate Kid is the bully’s name Daniel or Johnny?

10. Which movie character claims that Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates are morons?

Also some questions do have multiple correct answers.

1. No. Did I answer correctly?

2. I rode one of those Walmart horse things as a kid, it was ancient.

3. Probably one of those Greek philosophers.

4. I’ve been to Florida.

5. The only flavor.

6. It depends on the training the lead cockroach received.

7. The opening riff of Thunderstruck.

8. Bill Nye the Science Guy.

9. Daniel. He pulled a dirty trick at the end and ruined another kid’s dreams.

10. Diogenes. He doesn’t have a movie but deserves one.

…Did I win?

1. No
2. My dad's Ford Country Squire station wagon.  Don't recall the year but probably early 80s.
3. Rome
4. A slip on black ice going 70 MPH in my Dodge Dakota.  No seatbelt.
5. Dutch Apple
6. Trick question.  They wouldn't change a lightbulb.  They would be happy the lights can't be turned on.
7. Agree with Hirtius.  Angus Young.
8. Einstein
9. Johnny.  Got his comeuppance.
10. Vizzini

1. Yes for important events.

2. Horse and cart

3. Your keyboard

4. Should I list alphabetically or chronologically? I bought my wife a pan for Valentines Day one year. True story.

5. That really depends. Used to say pecan. But is it really pecan? Have you tasted just a pecan? A pecan is gross. Pecan pie is sugar pie. No wonder its good. I prefer apple now.

6. Youre assuming there will be a lightbulb, light fixture or wall left once my flamethrower hits it. Thats a big assumption.

7. My Humps- The Black Eyed Peas. - I refuse your bandwagon gentlemen even though AC/DC kicks ass.

8. Professor Ludwig von Drake, Donald Ducks uncle.

9. Alright we doing this?  Angry  Let me stick up for Daniel. Daniel La Russo did not start this fight. The fight started on the beach when Johnny was harassing Ali. Johnny started the fight on the beach and anyways most of the issues were daniel vs like 5 guys. So hell no he was not the bully. A boy is allowed to fight back to bullies and be a man without becoming the bully. He stuck up for himself where he could and eventually crane kicked Johnny's face into two sequels and a spin off tv show. #TeamLaRusso (Although I admit in Cobra Kai Johnny is a badass character and is completely redeemed as a 2 dimensional 80s teen villian. In the tv show you cannot help but love Johnny, hes awesome.)

10. Anybody want a peanut?

You two are also very close. Also if nobody gets them all, it’s who ever is the closest.

1. Not really but I do try and keep a dream dairy. Want to try lucid dreaming and this supposedly helps.

2. Probably a bike from the early 1990s

3. https://slinging.org/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1633740652

4. Walking on ice cracking beneath me, trying to retrieve a loose dog with the zoomies

5. Apple. But have only tried that and pear.

6. Trick question. They can't do that.

7. A bright flash. But of course that depends on the distance.

8. Einstein

9. Who and what?

10. Well, I know a historian on youtube who claims that...

By the way the Karate Kid question, may I ask what prompted the initial question lol... It reminds me of a video I saw awhile back. Or would that give away too much?

Also, if there are more than one answer what is the criteria by which you judge?

There are multiple correct answers but there are incorrect answers as well. Some don’t have a correct or incorrect answer such as the questions about you.

1. No.
2.  My late mother's 1991 Ford Escort wagon.  It was thirty when I sold it.  I drove my Suzuki Samurai until I sold it at twenty six years old.  I currently drive my late wife's Suzuki Grand Vitara, which is seventeen years old.  At 140k miles I dropped a new engine in it.  That was 30K miles ago so I'm committed to the long haul.  Obviously I keep cars for a long time.
3.  When I was a kid the Batman TV show was the rage.  I invented a knock off character, Rat Man.  He was sort of a screw up who somehow solved the crimes and defeated the arch criminals in spite of himself. 
     Also, at my last house I had around one hundred and forty pet rats.  For real.
4.  There have been many. It's a miracle I'm still here.  I guess the most dangerous was when I was drunk driving my Jeep CJ5 back when I was in the army.  I had three passengers and was going about seventy when a deeply plowed field jumped out in front of me.  I probably should have died then.
5.  Any good fruit pie will fill that bill.
6.  The bulb never gets changed no matter how many roaches are involved.
7.  Mr. Thunder.
8.  Alfred E. Newman.
9.  Mr. Miyagi.
10.  Zasu Pitts.

1) no. Always felt it was kind of pretentious assuming your life was so important you had to write it down for posterity.
2) probably me first car.
3) some Roman chappie
4) driving on a motorway in thick fog.
5) mince pies - note for non-brits: does not contain ground meat.
6) none, cockroaches don't like light.
7) lightning. Although the acdc intro is a much better answer Smiley
8) Einstein, shame he was wrong.
9) no idea, terrible films. How on earth can you have Jackie Chan teaching kung Fu and call it karate ?
10) one if the pythons

Joe_meadmaker was the closest.

      Here are the answers:


       1. For me yes but this one you can’t get wrong

       2.for me it is my 1978 f100 ranger that is my daily driver
      
        3. It comes from the story in the video game ark survival                         evolved

       4. For me it is a car accident that I could have died in

       5. For me French silk

       6. You can’t tell because as soon as the light comes on they scatter. Some of you got it half right

       7. Lightning is the “official” answer but I like that some of you were creative in your answers. Those creative answers count as right.

        8. For me I think of Einstein

        9. This one could be either I really liked the different explanations and opinions

        10. This one is Viccini from the movie princess bride.


          Joe you get to ask the next ten random questions!
