Never read about that, but it's intriguing. I guess in theory if the knowledgebase is indeed growing at an exceeding rate (although not exponentially) then someday it would be reached. I think we're a LONG ways away, so I would say no in our lifetime. Then again, the whole "exceeding rate" is hard for humans to fathom I think... at least when measuring something as abstract as knowledge. I mean look at all the dumbasses that are still here! This one really requires a big old joint to ponder further.

A: Will marijuana be legal in the US (not just California) for sale and consumption at home in our lifetime?

A: Probably, but I think bad reasons (utilitarian approach against drug trafficking, not caring for addicts, getting tax money, pacifying potential subversives, etc.) will have much more weight than good reasons (freedom, pharmaceutical usefulness, replacing harmful smoking with lung-friendly consumption modes, using hemp fibers freely).

Q: Do your elected representatives adopt good policies for selfish reasons? Or evil and harmful policies they believe in the public interest?

A) Sheer incompetence - they didn't learn from Mario 64 (I still don't understand how it's regarded as a classic)

Q) If a woodhuck could chuck wood and a woodchuck would chuck wood, should a woodchuck chuck wood?

Re: Q and A

A) Worst book; Bram Stokers Dracula - it starts out ok but never held my attention enough to finish it; Worst Game? Po'ed, hopefully this'll explain the atrocity of the game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I1eFoU42us

Worst film? Well GunHed had a pretty broken plot but it's difficult to decide because theres infinately more trash that comes out of hollywood these days.

Q) Would you consider sex with a humanoid alien if the opportunity arose? ( note i said humanoid so no humans that just live on another planet; something like a klingon with an ass crack for a face or maybe one of those blue things from avatar?)

I'm pretty sure I asked this question earlier but considering I have a huge stack of shiny metal weapons hanging from my wall i'd hole up for a while, set up an action plan, stock up with supplies then work my way to somewhere remote and defensible.

Q) two in the pink and one in the stink or two in the goo, one in the poo?

A: 18! Had my first consciously-sexual encounter with a girl my age back at 6, though. :D

Q: When did you lose your first and last milk teeth?
For the record, mine stood for quite a long time, so 7 and 15, respectively.

A: Definitely lost 3 teeth in one go at the age of 3, in the form of smashing them into a bar on one of those (now totally gone from the planet) half-sphere jungle gyms. I actually remember the event! Can't remember the last but I want to say 12.

Q: At what age will you allow your child(ren) to drink alcohol?

A: Most likely at the age they will convince me they are able to understand that alcohol is, in fact, a slightly diluted poison. Not having it be a forbidden fruit actually worked well for me: I've never cared about it, and by now I've almost completely stopped using it. I can appreciate the taste and occasionally drink something good if somebody offers me to, but otherwise I'm not even remotely interested in the thing. Same with smoking: don't care, don't like the effect either. Same with pretty much every other toxic substance. Best policy, imo.

Q: Did you use to hide your bad habits from your parents as a teen, and if so, until what age?

LOL... trick question? All of them, although my mom is pretty much the smartest person on Earth. She figured out I was smoking dope by 18 (started at 16). She was quite tolerant of me drinking at the end of high school/early college as long as I didn't drive. They made it clear my life was over if I did. They knew I smoked cigarettes when I was in college. My dad smoked for 50 years, so they couldn't say anything. The weed thing really bummed her out though. Got caught twice. My half brother who is 15 years my senior got her to calm down. Gave it to her straight up. And then, she figured out the harder stuff and that was a dark, dark 6 months or so for yours truly. But, once I hit the bottom I snapped out of it. I guess it's all on the table now (and has been since my 20's as I'm my own person) but moms will always be moms.

Q: Have you ever been mugged/robbed?

A: Somewhat. I was next to my friend when he got robbed.
The dudes were a group of six people, and they just took his lousy discman (oh, the nostalgia!).
After that we looked at each other and started laughing.

A: The day we made a textbook fort in my fourth period last school year and my pants got a fuckhuge split right up the crotch-seam. I got over it quickly enough, though, and taped a sign that said "My pants ripped. =(" over my crotch and taught for the rest of the day wearing it. Three out of four administrators thought it was hilarious; the fourth rolled her eyes and said, "Oh, Ransom" with a huge sigh. PRETTY AWKWARD.

Q: What would you like your last words to be?

A: My office has an on-going prank that it pulls, although we've stopped since it was finally successful. I was victim 0, on my way home to visit my mother who had been diagnosed with cancer (she survived and it's in full remission, btw). I left the office on what they assumed was a trip home to relax. As I leave the office, my bag vibrates. I open it to find a gigantic dildo accompanied by scissors (to set off the alarm) in my carry on. the fatal flaw was the batteries. It would've worked otherwise. They tried it many other times after but the winner was finally the guest of honor on his way to his bachelor party. They didn't pull it out, but the security made him run it through twice and the staff was snickering. His travel mates told him what was up and they went to the bathroom to find a huge black dildo (complete w/ balls). Where did the dildo come from you might ask? The tradition involves the most junior person in the office going to the adult video store and buying it at lunch.

Most vengeful thing I thought I did was send one of my bosses Tubgirl. He had a particular habit of drinking too much wine and lashing into me about everything under the sun, including my poker habit. Well, turns out he's a sick fuck too b/c he just bust into hysterics when he saw it. Since that failed, I set his quad-display wallpaper on a Linux box to a manpaper photo (which is now the famous "no hot-linking" gamengai photo). It wasn't Windows, so he couldn't change it. Took him a few days and he finally googled. Bonus: his Aunt and Uncle visited the office that day. Did it to a couple of other people in the office over the years. One guy fucked me off to no end when he found out I liked cats, so he got cat wallpaper, cat mouse cursor, I love Cats homepage, and a shitload of WAV files, all of which were triggered when he did basically any function on his computer. It was entertaining for weeks. I never got rid of them all either...despite trying.

Q: Worst email you ever sent "by accident". Bonus points if it was in a professional setting.

Do they both pay the same? If they do I would choose the easy one. Ive worked hard for everything i have ever had never really had it easy at all. So to be able to breeze though something would be a nice change just for the ablity to tkae breaks and relax from time to time. But all the good things you have to work hard at so. . . Yeah second one just becuase the first one never seems to exist.

Q) ever cried watching a film? If you did which film was it?
