If you had the power to make Ringo and Paul physically 21 right now would you? Explain your choice.

Assuming “and”, and not “or”, I think they would feel guilty and weird about it. Imagine being young again and your best mates can never share that, imagine all the people you loved who have gone and never got that chance. So I wouldn’t abuse that power.

Oh I’m way less mature than you think a-hard-days-night-paul-7 I do think those guys have already survived many people and I think that’s freaky enough, let alone being mega famous!

No, because that’s way unfair, given that nobody else has lived past 122, and Paul and Ringo certainly would if restored back to twenty-one. Also, as much as I like the Beatles, there are probably people much more deserving of such a great medical advancement being performed on them. 

I'm Necko.  I'm like Ringo except I wear necklaces.

I'm also ewe2 on weekends.

Most likely to post things that make you go hmm... 2015, 2016, 2017.

What would make someone deserving of such a medical advancement? I would assume that most people with children and grandchildren would opt out of such a transformation. It would most-likely mess up the “natural” order of death that most people expect to see in their families.

Affirmative!

 

I wonder, if all the accents of the English langaege were mashed together, what what parts of your English accent do you think would be included?

But what will be included from your accent? Will the composite accent be sexist? And if so, for what sex?

I listen to a lot more podcasts for entertainment and brainfood these days but I still read and watch movies. The one thing I do a lot less is TV, my reception is spotty and I rarely watch anything but news channels anyway when it does work.

Video games, then music (mostly on CD), followed by movies (mostly on DVD and bluray) and then books / comics.

My entertainment goes:

Internet, books, TV, movie, video games, others

My favorite form of entertainment is definitely music. I would rank the media as follows:

  1. iPod
  2. CD’s not yet loaded into my iPod
  3. DVD’s 
  4. Internet
  5. TV (Palladia network)
  6. Radio

Internet, music, and books are my three main ones. I don’t play video games, don’t like TV, but I occasionally watch movies
