When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?
Probably when I was driving, not sure what it would have been, something like the dead kennedies. I dont sing to other people.

You have the power to go any distance into the future and, after one year, return to the present with any knowledge you have gained from your experience but with no physical objects. WOuld you make the journey if it carried a 50% risk of death?
No.

Given the choice of anyone in the world, who would you want as your dinner guest? As your close friend? As your lover?
Well, Richard Feynman, if he were still alive, as dinner guest. Close friends and lovers are not people you can just pluck out the air like that (I’d have more of both if it were that easy), they take time.

While parking late at night, you slightly scrape the side of a Porsche. You are certain no-one else is aware of what happened. The damage is minor and would not be covered by insurance. Would you leave a note?
Depends. If its a Porsche, probably no note, if it were a beaten up Astra without boyracer trimmings, probably yes.

If you could choose the manner of your death, what would it be?
Suicide? But I’m not sure thats what the question really means. Something I didn’t know was coming.

Do you have any specific long-term goals? What is one and how often do you plan on reaching it?
To retire. Current estimates put it around 15 years from now, I normally review the plan at least once a month – though I’ve been a bit more lax on that lately.
