| 31 | English Literature + Irish Literature = Not the same  Edit: Neither's Scottish, come to think of it. | Here are some types of literature based on their country or area of origin; which ones do you like? |
| 32 | 'III. light intermediate, or dark-skinned European. Rarely burns, usually tans. Usually has brown hair and blue, green, hazel, brown, or, rarely, black eyes.'
I'm more half and half II and III, though. I tan very well; very darkly, but I'm pale as fudge usually. | According to van Luschen scale, which type describes your skin the best? |
| 33 | Brushing my teeth wasn't a habit I found hard to form. | Do you agree with the following statement: Good habits are hard to form but easy to live with, and bad habits are easy to form and hard to live with. |
| 34 | Yeah. | Have you made any donations in support of the Earthquake victims in Haiti? |
| 35 | Yes. I only found out the other day that Brian Eno produced some Ultravox stuff, so I'm going to give them another listen. | Are/were you a fan of new wave/romantic/Synth-pop music? |
| 36 | 'Over seventy countries pledged monetary donations or other assistance. Notably, Cuba and Venezuela (both hostile to US government themselves) were the first countries to offer assistance, pledging over $1 million, several mobile hospitals, water treatment plants, canned food, bottled water, heating oil, 1,100 doctors and 26.4 metric tons of medicine, though this aid was rejected by the U.S. government. Kuwait made the largest single pledge, $500 million; other large donations were made by Qatar and United Arab Emirates (each $100 million), South Korea ($30 million), Australia ($10 million), India, China (both $5 million), New Zealand ($2 million), Pakistan ($1.5 million), and Bangladesh ($1 million).
India sent tarps, blankets and hygiene kits. An Indian Air Force IL-76 aircraft delivered 25 tonnes of relief supplies for the Hurricane Katrina victims at the Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas on September 13, 2005. Israel sent an IDF delegation to New Orleans to transport aid equipment including 80 tons of food, disposable diapers, beds, blankets, generators and additional equipment which were donated from different governmental institutions, civilian institutions and the IDF. The Bush Administration announced in mid-September that it did not need Israeli divers and physicians to come to the United States for search and rescue missions, but a small team landed in New Orleans on September 10 to give assistance to operations already under way. The team administered first aid to survivors, rescued abandoned pets and discovered hurricane victims. Countries like Sri Lanka, which was still recovering from the Indian Ocean Tsunami, also offered to help. Countries including Canada, Mexico, Singapore, and Germany sent supplies, relief personnel, troops, ships and water pumps to aid in the disaster recovery. Belgium sent in a team of relief personnel. Britain's donation of 350,000 emergency meals did not reach victims because of laws regarding mad cow disease.[119] Russia's initial offer of two jets was declined by the U.S. State Department but accepted later. The French offer was also declined and requested later.' | Have you made any donations in support of the Earthquake victims in Haiti? |
| 37 | My bruvva (aww). Stephen Dedalus. | Do you have any heroes in your life? |
| 38 | My personal circumstances seem to change all the time, and it's never to do with the economy. | What ways have you used to economize? |
| 39 | Eee
Re: The Diary of Anne Frank, To Kill a Mockingbird, etc - this is strictly humanitarian literature. Not to say there is no literature for literature's sake (not trying to say that at all), but I believe the things these books provide can be gained from other sources, so they aren't books that 'absolutely ought' to be read. Ahem. John Milton - Paradise Lost (like when people say 'The Bible is a great work... of fiction', they should really just get over it and read this instead) Any of the Canterbury Tales - No need to be a purist and read all of them, because it's not as simple as that. Any John Donne - because you don't just need Shakespeare Any of Shakespeare's plays - because you kinda do need Shakespeare Samuel Beckett - Waiting for Godot I haven't got the time right now. I'll come back to it. | "Books That Everyone Absolutely Ought To Read At Least Once In Their Life": What's in the list? |
| 40 | Cereal (Porridge or bran flakes; something I can convince myself is good for me); toast on occassion. I've just started properly shopping and cooking for myself, and I don't want to eat crap all the time. | Typically, what kind of "Breakfast" person are you? |
