Friday Five
Questions and answers
1. If you were a nocturnal animal, what nocturnal animal would you be?
umm... Hedgehog. They rock. I'd prefer to be one that knows the green cross code, though. They only rock in 3 dimensions.
2. Which is better: to obey the law to avoid punishment, to obey the law because the law makes sense, or to obey the law because everyone should?
It's better that people obey the law because the law makes sense. I think If everybody on earth thought the world's laws made sense then the other two options would probably follow for the majority of society. One would want to avoid the punishment and laws would be the same for everyone... Including governments. But, obviously, there would still be crime because human nature makes us like to the exact opposite of what makes sense.
3. Who is your favorite all time movie villian?
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist... Keyser Soze!
Useless Fact #247: 'Soze' is Hungarian for 'Verbal'.
Snape from the harry potters... but moreso in the books, especially Half Blood Prince.
4. Are any kind of ethics involved in wearing a hat?
One must doff one's hat upon making a greeting to an aquaintence; This applies only to males, females -whose bonnets are often tied beneath the chin- are not ethically obligated to do so. if one is smoking a pipe or cigarillo at the time, this must be held in the left hand (after the doffing has occured) while shaking(Man) / kissing(female) of hands takes place. Hats must be removed while in business meetings, eating (formally or informally) or attending religious service unless that religion requres a specific type of hat to be worn. jolly festive some of these hats are, too!
5. When is the best time for you to take a 20 minute nap? Why?
Scientifically, it's supposed to be in the mid-afternoon. It refeshes and better enables working in the late afternoon, where there is a general dip in workers morale/motivation. There was a study a few months ago which showed a productivity increase in workers who took part in the experiment.
