Question of the Week #58
A good friend pulls off a well-conceived practical joke that plays on one of your foibles and makes you look ridiculous. How would you react? I'd like to say I'd laugh it off. I mean, I love a good practical joke... as long as it's played on someone else. I'd probably get pissed. I'd get … Continue reading Question of the Week #58
Question of the Week #57
Would you be willing to give up sex for one year if you knew it would give you a much deeper sense of peace than you have now? Well, I've gone this long. What's another year? Honestly, though, I really don't think this is how it works. Otherwise, I should be about the most peaceful … Continue reading Question of the Week #57
Question of the Week #54
What is the worst psychological torture you can imagine suffering? Anything causing even minor physical injury should not be considered. For me it would be any kind of annoying repetitive noise.

If you could choose the manner of your death, what would it be? I think I'd like to be dismembered by a runaway backhoe. Seriously... Who's not gonna answer this question with, "Peacefully, in my sleep?" *The Question of the Week can be found in The Book of Questions by Gregory Stock, Ph.D.
Question of the Week #43
When were you last in a fight? What caused it and who won? I think I was in 5th grade. It was the only real fight I've ever been in. And it wasn't so much a fight as it was me getting beat up. By a girl. That's right, I got beat up by a … Continue reading Question of the Week #43
Question of the Week #38
