Life, the universe, pies, hot-pink bunnies, world domination, and everything
A thread for polls and questions, by request of Krissy also known as Kricket.
Got questions? Got answers?
Here’s the place to post at least some of them.
Date: October 28, 2005
Categories: Life, The Universe, Things We like
*gasp* wow!! you put a poll thread in here for me!!!!!! (you must have done that just now cause I was just on here a few minutes ago!) And first post!!!!!!!!! I feel so loved!!!!!!!!!!
Poll: Would you rather be in a dark scary room all alone OR be in a brightly light room with Michael Jackson?
I don’t know about you but I choose a dark scary room. How ’bout you guys (and girls)?

Is that appropriate?? If it isn’t, sorrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dark scary room wins hands down, and I think all of the Musers will agree with me on this one.

What’s your all-time favorite issue of Muse?
0
0
I don’t really have a favorite, but I like most of the ones with Paul Baker in them, I like the LOTR issue, I like the Taklamakan Mummies one from a loooong time ago (it was my first Muse– whaddya expect?) There are more I can’t remember.
0
0
I like the one about the way fashions have changed over the course of history. I think that was really cool.
I like chocolate, but I don’t eat much of it. I actually don’t like dark chocolate, just milk.

More on the Michael Jckson question: Not only does a dark scary room win, but so does a forest at midnight on Halloween all by myself after just having watched a horror movie. Even if there was no moon and the forest was known to have chain-saw murderers and werewolves in it, it would still be no contest.
0
0
same here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree with MontgomeryGurl, milk chocolate is WAY better than dark chocolate!!!!!!!!!! I don’t really have a favorite issue… I, as a devout muser, love all the issues and stuff!!!!!!!!!!!
New poll- Would you rather suffocate or drown? *neither is not an option*
?????????? I don’t know???? suffocate???? I guess????
0
0
my fav issue is probably the napolean/hornblower/shipworm one…that one rocked. I loved the feb. one..some year or another…w/the sword stuff, that was cool. and all hail pb&j’s instrument one!!! the harvington hall rocked too…oh and i loved the parasites…and the tombstone readings from the last one…the lotr issue rocked…and y’know what, i just love muse!! 
oh the black death was awesome!!! so of course my lb had to lose it!!! i was sooo mad!! i am definitely getting it off the back issues…someday…soon…ish.
oh yes and you know the pirate one from waaaaaaay back..back before me even, i read it at a sleepover w/riette who’s been getting it for ages…well that one totally rocked. i was so sad i didn’t have it! 
AAAH! and the capt. kidd one…that was in the napolean/shipworm/hornblower wasn’t it? anyway…enough muse-ish ramblings…
kricket, i would rather drown. i don’t know why but suffocation just seems worse. even though they take the same amount of time (about) i suppose just cuz i like water. i actually can’t even really imagine drowning in it…but whatever.
0
0
I know that was a hard one… ohohohohohohohohohohoh!! I remember the black death one!!!!!!!!!!! That one was awesome!!!!!!! Of course I loooooooooooove the October issue (The one we just got) duh… The Tower of London was cooooooooolllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
0
0
I love the black death one, also. Same with the Horatio Hornblower issue.
I think I would rather suffocate. I don’t know why, but ever since I first learned to swim I have prayed that God doesn’t let me drown. Almost no other death seems as bad, and I don’t know why drowning does. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that a few times in my life I have accidently sucked water up my nose, and it is very painful. I’ve also had to stay under-water for longer than I had air to, and that is not pleasant either, so maybe I’m just afraid of the known.

I really don’t have anything to say, I’m just sort of rambling.
Would you rather: have a lot of good friends, or one or two great friends?
Spend a day alone with a book, or with a lot of friends?
I would rather have one or two great friends, because I measure my relationships by the depth they go to, not how many of them there are. I woudl also pick alone with a book, because while I like people, spending too much time with them tires me out, and after a whole day I would be totally exhausted.
0
0
one or two great friends. why do you think popular people are always so depressed? friendship has to have meaning, and if it doesn’t then the number won’t change anything.
i would probably pick a book too. books cool. speaking of books i’m going to the books+movies thread and you people had better get over there too cuz that is a cool thread and no way are we gonna forget about it!!
I think the worst way to die would be dehydration.
0
0
is lots of great friends an answer?? Cause I have 7 great friends… I’d rather be alone with a book because I am an devout reader and also I like my space sometimes…
Would you rather: skydive or hang-glide? read a book or play outside? Halloween or Easter? Christmas or your birthday? draw or write? stay up or sleep in? morning bird or night owl?
MY Answers:
skydive. both. Easter. ???? write. stay up. mix.
0
0
I would rather hang-glide, no real reason though. Much rather read a book, mainly because the weather here is almost never nice. I don’t celebrate Halloween, but I think I would love Easter best even if I did. It has a lot of meaning in Christianity, and I get to see my grandparents and have a ton of fun. Christmas, because it’s a month long gear up, and then a week long celebration, whereas my birthday only occupies one day. Write. Sleep in, without a doubt, because if I don’t get at least nine hours, preferably ten, of sleep, then I’m tired all day. I don’t know, I guess a mix.
0
0
neither, I’m afraid of hights, read a book, Halloween because 1. I’m not Christian, and 2. all of the fluffy little bunnies laying eggs sort of creep me out, my birthday because it’s in the summer so I’m usually in CA which is nice weather, write, sleep in, morning.
0
0
I would prefer to hang glide, I celebrate niether Halloween nor Easter, reading or playing outside depends on my mood, and I don’t celebrate Christmas.

Question– who here roleplays, and if so, what?
0
0
I roleplay Professor Cosmo Mastiff and would add it to my title but then it would be insanely long. Insanely longer than it already is, of course.
I HATE EVERY STUPID SONG IN THAT MOVIE!!!
How many people think that the books are always better than the movie versions?
MEMEMEMEMEMEMEME!
Er…. USUSUSUSUSUSUSUSUS?
WHATEVERWHATEVERWHATEVERWHATEVERWHATEVER!
0
0
no I don’t roleplay.. sadly no….
0
0
Well, I liked the Princess Bride movie better than the book, and Shrek also, but otherwise yes, Rohan.
0
0
i rp a little bit. not a lot though. (muse rpg people!! yeah!)
mostly hp and lotr stuff.
books are better than movies mostly because the movies are based on the books. the sw movies were better than the books but that was cuz the books were based on the movies.
hang-glide, read, Halloween, Christmas, write (i can’t draw), stay up, night owl. good stuffins.

Some of my favorite issues of Muse are the one about the priest holes, the pirate one from ages ago, the sword one, the trash one from ages ago, the musical instrument one, the LotR one and I’m sure I will think of more. I prefer dark chocolate to milk chocolate. I have some article suggestions. I think an article on Pompeii and one on the origins of languages would be cool.

I can’t draw either, Ebeth…
0

I can draw pretty well. I am way outshined, however, by an artistic prodigy in my class, and my artistic prodegy cousin. *sigh*
0
0
I hate it when I get in classes with prodigies!!!!!!!!!!! It almost always happens that I’ll get involved with something I’m really good at, and there will be one girl who’s tons better than I am!!!!! These are always people who will probably grow up to be world renowned professionals at whatever it is we’re doing!!! Of course, I might be the prodigy sometimes, come ot think of it. Maybe people hate being involved in stuff with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here’s a poll that might actually be useful to the publishers. How did you find out about Muse? Do you get it as a gift or subscribe on your own? What other magazines do you subscribe to or buy?
0
0
I rented it through my library. My grandma usually orders it for me. I have to renew, actually…
I subscribe to Cat Fancy and National Geographic. I used to get Animerica, but the magazine discontinued.
0
0
I found out about Muse when I was getting Cricket Mag. and saw the subscription in the mag. My mom helped me subscribe to it. I get PONY(a mag. for all you horse lovers out there), Kids Discover, and… I think that’s it.
My friend KS gave me the subscription to PONY.
I found the Muse subscription (my mom pays for it mwahahaha)
My mom got me the Kids Discover magazine.
I don’t really read the Kids Discover but I like Muse and PONY the best.
0
0
I got it because I was subscribing to another magazine called Explore, that was, quite frankly, horrendously boring. Well, I had that magazine, and then following 9/11 something happened and the maazine was “unable to fulfill my subcription”, so they sent me Muse to end it off with. I loved Muse so much that we renewed it, and I’ve had it ever since. It’s actually renewed through 2007.
0
0
well my friend harriet had been getting it for ages, and then the first year i actually bought was through a cousin’s fundraiser thing…had it ever since.
i knew the company, cuz my mom had a whole load of old cricket mags, you know the one w/the little bugs. those rocked. she threw them away though (they had bugs lol!)
I don’t get any other mags for me but i steal my parent’s time mag whenever it comes. that’s basically it. time and muse. nice combo.

I get Cricket and Muse, both gifts from my Safta (grandmother). used to get NGkids, but stopped subscribing. I might start Cicada.
0
0
I get all the Carus magazines by extension (I know someone who works there) and I read other magazines like NG or Time when I can get them. I don’t think I subscribe to anything. I found out about Muse when I was eight at my local library. When I was ten my mom finally relented and got me a subscription. Afterwards, we found out a family friend worked for the magazine, so I begged and begged until I got copies of Muse (and Cricket and Cicada) for FREE! Don’t be too jealous now, people… 
I love rubbing it in people’s faces. HAHAHA! I GET FREE MUSE!!! 
Another random poll ?: (this is in honor of Halloween) What’s your favorite candy, and whoat did you do for Halloween?
I don’t have a favorite candy. It’s probably something chocolate. This year, I dressed up as Monty Python (don’t ask why) I had rabbit ears and lipstick blood and a dead parrot on my shoulder (not real) and a kilt and leaky shoes and I know that because it rained and me ‘n’ my friends were the only people out so people dumped their bowls into our bags (literally) and it was very fun and I got MUCHOS DULCES. I love run-on sentences.
One more thing: If this isn’t some violation of privacy, what grade is everybody in/ how old are you?
I’m in 8th grade. I’m 13.
0
0
I’m in 7th grade. I’m 12.
My favorite candy is CANDY CORN!!!!!!!!!!! yumyumyumyum… oh yeah… I was a departed soul of a teenager this year…

I don’t know what NAMS means, so I guess I don’s go to Kricket’s school. Anyone out there go to my school? High school counts, cuz I take maths there.
My principal is evil and she wears a wig.

Mr. Coontz,
I was wondering if you knew of directions of where to go to get to the virtual aquarium.

Hi, KitKat.
I’ll make sure Robert sees your question about the virtual aquarium. He probably knows the answer.
Thanks for your comment about the Q&A! Which one did you like? The grass seed one in November/December?? I think it’s pretty freaky that most lawn grass seed in the world comes from Oregon. Now when I look at a grassy lawn I think about Oregon.

NeverAnswertoMuseblogStupidity?
That reminds me: How did you first learn about MuseBlog? I know there are some old Gaboomba people out there (I believe I posted one comment on there a long time ago), but I don’t really know about anyone else.
I first went to Museblog when I looked for the Gaboomba again so that I could become a regular poster. To my shock, it was gone, but there was the nice new MuseBlog in its place. I posted on the ‘Writing’ thread, then branched out, and now you can’t get rid of me. Like kudzu.

I was basically wandering around the net in boredom and thought “hey doesn’t that cool muse mag have a website? haven’t been on there in a while…” go on and *gasp* a blog!! what fun!!! something to do at last!!! it kind of stuck. I mean come on, talking online to insane people who get crazy mags and actually read some decent books once in a while?? huzzah. i am saved.
I knew about the gaboomba but i never posted. actually i didn’t even lurk. i sorta just came on occaisionally when i was bored. i spelled that wrong didn’t i? whatever i have math to do. indirect proofs. something i get at last. i hated the 2 columns…

Me? I was searching on google and I searched up muse and I found this! LOL no. That’s not true.
Actually, I was looking for the regular website, and it came up with this one too, so I tried it and I was SSSSOOOO happy I stayed on for…hrm…8 hours the night of my discovery.

I was offered when i was in 7th grade, but it cost 55 bucks so my parents said no.

I hated geometry, Ebeth. I feel very sorry for you…
Dark chocolate rules!
I don’t have a favorite band. I just listen to GOOD rock, whatever that may be.
I’m going to take the SAT this year, and I’m in 8th grade. Now where is that SAT prep issue?

I took the SAT in 7th grade. Got a 720 verbal, 620 math (1340 total).. I think I had the highest grade at my school.. That is, until Kathy came along the next year and got a 1360.. but then, she was doing the accelerated math thing (skipped pre-algebra) and I wasn’t (although I probably should have)…
I like Beatles, Pixies, Pink Floyd, Flectones etc, klezmer (mostly Klezmatics), folk (Pete Seeger is my hero, Woody Guthrie, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, I like Tom Paxton’s songs although I haven’t actually heard him, etc), jazz (Coltrane, Sun Ra, Pharoah Sanders, Benny Goodman, etc), and classical (many people)

I took the AIMS, something only Arizona has. It’s called
Arizona’s Instruments of Measuring Standards. Now it’s the STAIMS. It’s been combined with the Standard 9’s, a test kind of similar to SATS.
I got 700 on all subjects except math. I got like a 680 on that. Oh well, 700 is the best you can get!

I was also offered, but my parents said it was an ego trap so I didn’t do it.

We had to take the ACT Explorer test this year becuase the sophmores and juniors were taking the SAT and so they had to do something with us. From the math section: If x+6=12, what is x?
I’m not making this up.
And we also have to take the stupid TAKS tests each year (used to be TAAS but they changed the name).

To KitKat (post 80) Illinois has a standardised test that’s not on your list. It is the ISAT and it’s evil but easy. I have to take the Explore test in December, and of course, my friends and I are hyperventilating about it. To those who have taken it: is it easy?
A less gloomy poll: who here’s doing NaNoWriMo? I am but I only have about 1000 words written. Laugh at me if you like.

okay, here’s one- who has a crush on someone? and who wants a ranting thread? (sry I know that’s off the point but…) 
I (of course) like Ryan. *see Anti Chatroom * And I definately want a ranting thread. DEFINATELY.
0
0
why a ranting thread? we rant everywhere else anyway!
i don’t have like a major crush *coughobsessioncough* like you w/ryan. i have a sort of mini-crush if that makes any sense at all.
ok poll-what are your absolute fav 10 movies of all time?
mine (in no particular order)
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Lotr (I’m counting that as one looong movie btw)
The Princess Bride
Zorro (1940 version)
National Treasure
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Potc
The Three Musketeers (disney version-real disney not animated mickey mouse one)
Pride and Prejudice (6+ hr. A&E version. that totally rocked)
and last, but most definitely not least
the old Star Wars movies (New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi) (again this is all one story so I’m counting it as one long movie.)
0
0
Crush? Ummm… *twiddles thumbs* Not on anybody real. Just ummm… 
*whispers* book characters. Go on, laugh. I know you’re falling out of your seat over there. To preserve some dignity, I won’t tell you which ones. I am discannected with reality. Also none of the guys I know are anything like crush material. I agree with Ebeth. We don’t need a ranting thread. That would be all of them.
10 fave movies? (no order)
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Monty Python’s Life of Brian (not for the sensitive or easily offended)
Princess Bride
LOTR extended editions
Wallace and Gromit
El Alfabeto (my Spanish video. Probably THE funniest amateur video out there (she says modestly)You had to have been there, I guess.)
Glory
Hero
The Incredibles (call me a little kid)
Finding Nemo ( the same applies)

Movies!
(No real order, just as I think of them)
1. LOTR (THE top, my fave is Return of the King)
2. Star Wars (A New Hope-Return of the Jedi are better than Phantom Menace-Revenge of the Sith) (Incidentally, the original title for Return of the Jedi was Revenge of the Jedi. I guess they decided Jedi don’t take revenge…)
3. Phantom of the Opera
4. Pirates of the Carribean
5. Finding Nemo
6. Raiders of the Lost Ark
7. Apollo 13 (it was pretty good)
8. The Incredibles (because I’m running out of choices)
9. The Prince of Egypt (Story of the Exodus done in animation by Dreamworks with pretty good music)
10. Errrr…. the Harry Potter movies (because that’s all that could possibly qualify)
Anyhow…
I’m with Pheonix on crushes… totally immune so far…
Honestly, it’s normal to have a crush on a book character. I just never have. But lots of people do. But you never have to tell anybody who it is. You can just quietly have a crush on this random character. Really. It’s not even against the law or anything.
By the way, I didn’t disappear. You’ll never get that lucky… MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Oh, so you read Tamora Pierce, eh, Pheonix? I’ve read them all except the young warriors one because I ran out of money… but she is a REALLY good author.
Anybody else agree?

young warriors? never read those! gimmegimmiegimmie!
I like Circle of Magic, especially Shatterglass. Tris is SO cool! Briar is cool when the books are in his point of view, and Daja is where I got how Steel’s weapon of choice. Sandry, however, is just lame. I also like the Alanna books, but not the Kel ones, because she really IS a lump. the Daine books are ok, but sometimes Ms. Pierce spoils her charecters by making them fall in love, Daine was better off on her own, and I HATE Numair.
I also love the Prince of Egypt, although it isn’t entirely historiacally accurate. however, it is accurate enough to satisfy me, I don’t mind people taking creative liberty! I don’t like how they made Aaron a scapegoat, though.

How do you get posts for your own writing projects to be commented on? Phoenix? Administradores?

Phoenix did it the first time by posting a comment so long that I had to turn it into an independent post. If you e-mail it to robert@musefanpage.com, I’ll notice it eventually and post it. I’ll be keeping an eye out for it now that I know it’s coming.

Don’t expect anything in a while. I was just curious because I’ve got an idea I want fellow Musers to comment on.

42.
And that’s not the answer to my question, because there is no question. It’s just the Answer, and if the Earth hadn’t been demolished by the Vogons, we could find out what the question was. Well, maybe not us. But somebody.
Who here likes Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy?

I do! but even if the VOgons hadn’t demolished Earth it still wouldn’t have worked, because remember how all the sales associates killed of all the anciet humans? but I know the Question. When Arthur was putting out random letters in Scrabble, he got, “what do you get if you multiply six and eight?” this is wrong, it equals forty-six, so the right Question must be, “what do you get if you multiply six and seven?” get it?

About the crush thing from waaaaay back… Manga guys are just too hot for their own good. They have ruined me for life. *kisses picture of Tamahome* WAAAH! (And it doesn’t help that all the boys at my school look like adolescent baboons. Sadly, I am only slightly exxagerating.) Do any of the guys on here go to my school? Uhhh… sorry.
Mybe the answer to life, the universe, and everything is that we have been doing all our maths wrong and 6*8 is actually 42. Once we figure that out, we will have the True Question and can get on with life as if nothing had happened.
That made no sense.

but it was 6*9, not 6*8…

THAT IS THE JOKE, PEOPLES! the point is that the fake question if what do you get when you multiply six byeight, which is wrong, so the real question must be what do you get when you multiply six by seven. I guess D.A. had trouble with multiplication or summat…

6 times 9 = 42 in base 13

BUT THE FAKE QUESTION IS WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU MULTIPLY SIX BY NINE!!!!!!!
And it’s wrong if you’re in base ten because the point was since Dent was decended from the Golfrigians (sic) the question had become warped in his mind since they weren’t part of the original computer.

What’s the Answer to Life, The Unverse, and Everything? No one cares! We live for such a short amount of time we are barely alive, we haven’t even begun to span the Universe, and no one knows Everything!
