I can't say I've done that.  I do get sad when my laptop runs out of battery on long flights,  though.   I once saw one of my coworkers sitting poolside answering email on his laptop!  I was sitting at another part of the pool with a book and not a computer.

If it comes down to finishing some code or eating/sleeping, does the code always win?

Code will win for a while, but i do like my sleep. I have no problem getting away from coding for two minutes to bring a sandwich to my desk

Do your eyes light up when someone starts talking geek, then droop when you realize that you got so excited about it that nobody else in the room understand what you just said?

Only all the time!  Except i've been doing better at choosing friends that know what i'm talking about.

Do you like brussel sprouts?

I'll eat them but they're not my favorite. I usually make a combination of corn,  green beans and broccoli.

Why do you read a book by the pool rather than swim?

My bathing suit was on the other side of the country.  The same event a year before was in Prague,  and there was a city tour on the equivalent day.  I was expecting something similar...

42.  And it's a good thing I don't know the question to the ultimate answer of life, the universe and everything since there is a theory that if I did the universe would be replaced with something even more unexplainable!

There is another theory that this has already happened...

According to the Minbari in Babylon 5 the universe is self aware & in an attempt to better understand itself it broke itself apart into individuals, this is why we have a thirst for knowledge & understanding.
After all, we are mde up of the saame stuff as the stars themselves, we are starstuff

Why does The Doctor always regenerate into another Brit clone? He's from a completely different planet and he's fixated on them?

Because Time Lords look like humans .  Although, you can find Romana's regeneration scene and see that they don't always need to stay human-looking!

But why the British? What makes them so special?

The best I can come up with is because the show is British, but I'm sure you already knew that .  If you want a Whoniverse answer, maybe The Doctor just really, really likes British people?

It's to balance out the Hollywood idea that all bad guys in films have to be British

[AnarchoChloe]

Fact: the first Doctor in the series reboot was the bad guy from the Gone in 60 Seconds remake. This hypothesis is sound.

Lately all the bad guys are Middle Eastern, but I see your point. The brits do usually end up in bad guy roles.

What is your favorite time of day? Day of the week? Month of the year? Holiday?

What kind of environment do you prefer?

Do you think George Clooney is hot?

What kind of environment do you prefer?

Favorite time of day is usually between 12:30 and 1.  I take a break from working to take a walk and enjoy being outside (even if it's snowing!).

Fridays are always fun, since sometimes my friends put together a game night at their apartment.  I actually just got back from that!

As for month, I'm going to go with June since that's when I was born.

I'm going to have to go with Towel Day for my favorite holiday.  Although, I did choose to celebrate New Companion Day instead of Christmas this last year .

Do you think George Clooney is hot?

I can see how he's attractive, but he's no David Tennant...

Which is better? Babylon 5 or the blatent B5 copucat show star trek ds9?

Between the two I've only seen Star Trek, so I can't have an informed opinion.

My thread seems to have died... so I'll revive it with a picture of some of my toys!
